Compare 1kg Bullion Prices
Compare live prices on 1kg bullion bars from trusted UK dealers. 1kg is the standard large-format investment bar — typically offering the lowest premium per gram available outside wholesale Good Delivery sizes, and chosen by investors deploying significant capital in a single trade.
Premium efficiency at scale
The premium per gram on a 1kg bar is materially lower than on 100g or smaller formats — often by several percentage points. For investors with a fixed budget to deploy, this efficiency translates directly into more metal owned for the same outlay. The trade-off is concentration: a 1kg bar is a single illiquid unit that cannot be partially sold.
Storage and security
1kg gold bars hold significant value (around £75,000+ at recent spot prices) in a compact format, which has implications for home storage and insurance. Many investors at this weight use professional vaulting services or bank safe deposit facilities. 1kg silver bars hold considerably less value but are physically large and heavy.
UK tax position
Investment gold 1kg bars meeting the 995 fineness threshold are VAT-exempt. Silver 1kg bars carry 20% VAT — a substantial absolute amount given the bar value, which is one reason UK silver investors often prefer silver coins despite their higher premiums. Bars do not qualify for UK CGT exemption.
