Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Live prices, Vault Report, the PDF and summary card, and the Stackers Club seals are all free to use. It's currently in beta. Down the road there may be an optional supporter/membership tier that adds cloud sync and extras, but the core stays free. If you'd like to chip in now, see how to support the project.

Your vault is stored locally in your browser, on your own device — nothing is uploaded to us. We never see or receive your holdings.

Because it's tied to that browser, clearing your history, switching browsers or devices, or using private mode will lose it, and there's no automatic backup yet. Use Export CSV or Generate PDF to keep your own copy. More detail on our data & storage page.

No. Vault Report works anonymously right in your browser — no sign-up required. Optional accounts with automatic cloud sync (so your vault follows you across devices) are on the way.

Prices are pulled from a market data source when you load the page (they don't stream continuously). They're indicative and may be delayed, and during beta live pricing may be temporarily paused — so treat them as reference figures for record-keeping, not trading quotes.

A private tool to catalog your physical gold and silver, value it at current spot, and generate a professional, print-ready PDF plus an optional fold-and-file summary card. It also tracks how your position changes over time as you add reports.

Gold and silver today. Support for additional metals may come later.

Collectible rank badges you earn as your stack grows — from Prospector up to Gold Baron and Silver Grand — shown right on your vault dashboard. They're a fun way to mark milestones, for personal motivation only, and are not a statement of verified holdings. See the full Stackers Club lineup.

Yes — you can export your holdings to CSV and generate a PDF report. CSV import is available too, so you can bring in an existing inventory or move between devices.

No. Everything here is for education and personal record-keeping only. Nothing on GoldPayroll is financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and prices are indicative. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.

GoldPayroll is early and actively being built. You may see rough edges, and live pricing can be paused while we work. Planned additions include accounts with cloud-synced vaults, historical valuations by date, and more.

GoldPayroll is free, ad-free, and doesn't sell your data. If it's useful to you and you'd like to help keep it running, you can tip in crypto — Bitcoin and 300+ other coins — through NOWPayments. It's non-custodial, so contributions go directly to us with no middleman holding the funds.

Support GoldPayroll with crypto — any coin, any amount. Every bit helps keep the lights on.
