The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from OIH's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees.

OIH's strategy (current expense ratio 0.35%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where OIH sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to OIH?
