I was actually in the middle of calculating the fee breakdown for recreating a Vanguard Target 2045. It's imperfect because it uses a domestic bond fund that isn't available to individual investors, but it came out to just over .185% in fees (I don't have the numbers in front of me as my girlfriend dragged me out to have breakfast by the pool...). When I get back inside, I'm going to finish the calculations, including the total fee for moving each element of the Target fund into Admiral shares.

Alright, with the aforementioned imperfection with the domestic bond fund and taking into consideration that I'm doing some half-assed early morning rounding, here are the numbers:

Fund . Percentage of Allocation . Investor Fee . Admiral Fee

Total Stock 63.1% (.17) (.05)
Total Int Stock 27% (.22) (.14)
Total Bond 7.9% (.20?) (.08?)
Total Int Bond 2% (.23) (.20)

Total investor shares fee - .1869
w/ Total Stock Adm - .1114
+Total Int Adm - .0898
+Total Bond Adm - .08032
+Total Int Bond Adm (all funds admiral shares)- .07972
