Mutual funds charge a variety of fees.
Some funds levy a front-end load when you purchase shares, others hit you with a charge when you redeem shares, and every mutual fund collects an annual expense fee. Many companies make it extra tough on investors by having you choose among different fee structures for the same fund. This calculator will tell you which fund is your cheapest option based on your investing time frame. In most cases, a no-load fund with a low annual expense fee will cost you the least.
