Understanding Gold Price Per Kilogram
While the international gold spot price is quoted in USD per troy ounce (XAU/USD), large-scale buyers — central banks, commodity traders, jewellery manufacturers, and refiners — always think in kilograms. A standard London Good Delivery gold bar weighs 400 troy ounces (12.4 kg); a common 1 kg bar is used by private investors and smaller institutions worldwide. Converting spot to per-kilogram is straightforward: divide XAU/USD by 31.1035 (grams per troy oz) and multiply by 1,000.
At a spot price of $3,300/oz, one kilogram of 24K gold is worth approximately $106,100. For 22K gold (91.67% pure), multiply by 0.9167 to get ~$97,270/kg. For 18K (75%), multiply by 0.75 to get ~$79,575/kg. Track how these prices have moved over decades using the gold price history charts or the year-by-year archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 1 kg gold bar weigh in troy ounces?
1 kilogram = 32.1507 troy ounces. The price of a 1 kg bar equals the XAU/USD spot price × 32.1507, plus the retailer premium (1–3% for standard 1 kg bars from major refiners like PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, or the Perth Mint).
Why is gold quoted per troy ounce instead of per kilogram?
The troy ounce is a historical unit from medieval European precious metal trade. The London Bullion Market established the troy ounce as the global standard when it set the first formal gold price in 1919. The unit persists today despite the metric system. Most retail gold price sites show both troy ounce and per-gram equivalents.
What is the difference between a gram of gold and a troy ounce of gold?
1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams. A troy ounce is heavier than an avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 g) used for everyday weights. Gold, silver and other precious metals always use troy ounces. Use the kilogram converter to switch between any weight unit.
How do I buy 1 kg of gold?
1 kg gold bars are sold by major refiners (PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus), national mints (Perth Mint, Royal Mint), and commodity brokers. Expect to pay 1–3% above spot price for reputable bars. For investment, gold ETFs and allocated storage accounts allow kilogram-equivalent exposure without physical delivery.
