Compare 1kg Silver Bar Prices
Live 1kg silver bar prices from trusted UK dealers — every major refiner compared at the most premium-efficient silver format. 1kg silver is where cumulative dealer competition keeps premium-to-spot ratios lowest in the UK silver market.
The most cost-efficient silver weight
1kg is the format where silver premium per gram drops most steeply versus smaller weights. Production costs spread across 1,000 grams of metal rather than 31.1g (1oz), and dealer handling per gram is correspondingly efficient. Premiums on 1kg silver bars in the UK are typically 8-15% over spot, against 25-45% for 1oz silver coins — a meaningful difference for investors prioritising metal-per-pound deployment.
Producers in the 1kg market
The principal 1kg silver bar producers stocked by UK dealers are The Royal Mint (cast), Metalor, Heraeus, Umicore, and various LBMA Good Delivery refiners. Cast format dominates at this weight; minted 1kg bars exist but command higher premiums for the additional finishing.
UK tax
1kg silver bars carry 20% VAT on purchase, like all silver investment products in the UK. They are not legal tender and do not qualify for UK CGT exemption — gains above the annual allowance are taxable for UK residents on disposal. For CGT-exempt silver investing, the choice is silver Britannia coins; for premium efficiency, 1kg bars dominate.
Storage and handling
1kg is a meaningful physical weight — a single bar at roughly 32 troy ounces is the size of a paperback book. Handling, storage and insurance considerations differ from coin-format silver. Most 1kg bar buyers either home-store with appropriate security or use insured vault storage.
