As of November 13, 2026, 12:46 AM ET, the lowest premium over spot among tracked dealers for a 1 kilo silver bar was 2.21% (Data by Bullion Price Check); prices exclude shipping and tax and move with spot.

How to Compare Silver Bar Prices
Compare cost per ounce, never the sticker. Divide the bar’s price by its weight in troy ounces (10 for a 10 oz bar, 32.15 for a kilo, 100 for a 100 oz bar) and compare that number to spot: the difference is the premium you are paying for minting, distribution, and the dealer’s margin. Premiums usually shrink as bars get bigger, but dealer pricing is not uniform — in today’s snapshot the 10 oz bar’s lowest premium (1.80%) undercuts the kilo’s (2.76%), which is why the per-ounce math has to be run on the day, not assumed.
Two more checks before checkout: these tracked prices exclude shipping and tax, so a slightly higher bar price with free insured shipping can be the cheaper delivered order; and recognizable mint bars in sealed assay packaging resell faster than unbranded bars, which matters when you sell.
