A Kilo of Gold: The Largest Retail Bar Size
One kilogram of gold is worth $134,549.71 at today's spot price -- 32.1507 troy ounces. Kilo bars are the largest standard bar size in the retail bullion market. (The next step up is the 400 oz "Good Delivery" bar used in institutional markets, which is not typically available to individual buyers.)
Kilo bars carry the lowest retail premiums of any bar size because the per-bar minting and distribution costs are spread across a large quantity of metal. For pure gold accumulation at the lowest cost per ounce, the kilo bar is hard to beat. The trade-off is the entry price: at $134,549.71 plus premium, this is a purchase for buyers with substantial capital to deploy.
Liquidity is reasonable but not as fast as smaller bars. Most major online dealers buy back kilo bars, but the pool of buyers at this price point is smaller, and sell orders may take longer to execute. Some sellers break kilo positions into 10 oz bars or 100g bars when they want partial liquidity.
Major producers include PAMP, Valcambi, the Royal Canadian Mint, the Perth Mint, and several Middle Eastern and Asian refiners. Both cast and minted kilo bars are available, with cast bars carrying lower premiums.

Selling 1 kilo of Gold: What to Expect
If you own 1 kilo of gold and want to sell, the melt value of $134,549.71 is your starting point -- but dealers don't pay melt. A typical dealer offer for standard 1 kilo gold bullion falls between 98% and 99.5% of spot, which today means roughly $131,858.72 to $133,876.97.
What affects your sell price:
- Brand recognition -- bars from well-known mints (PAMP, Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint) often fetch slightly higher bids than generic bars.
- Condition and packaging -- bars still sealed in original assay cards sell at the top of the range. Loose bars or bars with visible handling marks may sell closer to the low end.
- Quantity -- selling multiple bars at once can improve the per-unit offer from some dealers.
Sell offers vary across dealers, so comparing is worth the effort. See where and how to sell your gold for a full breakdown of options, including local dealers, online buyers, and mail-in programs.
