**Did you know that a seemingly tiny fee of just 1% on your investments can wipe out more than 20% of your final balance over 40 years? Push that to 1.5%, and you're handing over nearly 30% of your life savings to a guy in a suit!**

When I first uncovered this shocking [financial reality](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/your-money/give-fees-an-inch-and-theyll-take-a-mile.html?%5Fr=0&ref=baldmoney.com), I was floored. It means that high-fee managed funds and overpriced retirement accounts are quietly draining a fortune from everyday investors. The worst part? Most people will never even notice.

The compounding **impact of fees on retirement savings** is non-intuitive. The human brain isn't built to calculate exponential decay in my heads. That's why I built an online tool to lay it bare: the [Fee Cost Calculator](https://www.baldmoney.com/investment-fees-calculator/).

Simply input your starting balance, contributions, expected return, and fees, and the tool does the math for you. More recently, I designed a specialized version that acts as a **superannuation fee calculator** for Australian investors. A report by the [Grattan Institute](http://grattan.edu.au/report/super-sting-how-to-stop-australians-paying-too-much-for-superannuation/?ref=baldmoney.com) found that Aussies pay triple the investment fees of other OECD nations. That's a massive wealth drain on my nest eggs.

Don't let high **managed fund fees Australia** rob you of the retirement you deserve. Try my free **investment fee calculator** today to see how much you could save by switching to lower-cost index options.
