What decides a gold bar's value
A gold bullion bar, or ingot, is valued on its weight and fineness, which are stamped on it with the refiner's name and usually a serial number. Small bars cost more per gram to buy new, because the making charge is spread over less gold. The figures here are the metal value alone.
Gold bullion in the UK
Investment gold bars of at least 995 fineness are free of VAT in the UK. The large bars held by banks are Good Delivery bars of about 400 troy ounces.
Market price and what a buyer pays
The figures on this page are the market value of the metal. A buyer pays less than that, and how much less depends on the buyer. Antique, signed and stone-set pieces can be worth more than their metal, which is why we look at each piece before making an offer.

Is it worth buying 1g gold bars?
One gram bars carry the highest making charge for their size, so more of what you pay is not gold. They are easy to buy and to give, and larger bars are closer to the metal price.
Is this what I would be paid for my gold bar?
No. These figures are the market value of the metal itself, known as the spot price. A buyer pays less than spot, because of refining, testing and their margin. For a figure for your own gold bar, use our instant offer or send photographs for a free valuation.
