5g gold bar prices

A 5g gold bar contains 5 grams of fine gold, about 0.16 troy ounces. Small bars usually carry a higher premium than a 1oz bar, because the cost of making and selling one is spread over less gold.

The gold in a 5g gold bar is worth $944.99 at today's spot price.

Premium over the last 90 days

Over the last 90 days, the median premium for a 5g gold bar ranged from 10.9% to 16.9%. On 22 October it was 11.0%.

To find the median premium, we take each dealer's middle premium and then the middle of those, so every dealer counts once. The chart counts only the listings we have priced on most weekdays in this period, so a product joining or leaving does not move the line. Each day uses the last price of that day, Sydney time. Lowest is the smallest premium any of them listed that day, and spot is the gold price in AUD on the left-hand scale.

What is the premium?

The premium is the amount a product's price sits above the spot value of its metal. It covers costs such as production and distribution, as well as the dealer's margin. We calculate it by comparing the published price with the spot price recorded when the price was collected.
