1 gram gold price Singapore
What is one gram of gold worth in Singapore today? The value depends on purity. Start with the current Singapore-dollar reference price for pure gold per gram, then adjust for fineness. A physical 1g gold bar usually costs more because the retail price includes more than the metal itself.

Why does a 1g gold bar cost more?
If 1g of 999.9 gold has an underlying value of S$X, a physical 1g bar will usually sell for more than S$X. You're also buying a manufactured bullion product. The retail price can include refining, fabrication, assaying, tamper-evident packaging, refiner or brand premium, distribution and dealer margin. The difference above the underlying gold value is the product premium.
1g vs larger gold bars
Smaller bars usually require less money to buy, but that convenience often comes with a higher premium per gram. Actual premiums depend on the product and dealer, so this describes the trade-off rather than inventing fixed percentages.
| Bar size | Typical characteristic |
|---|---|
| 1g | Low entry amount; often higher premium per gram |
| 10g | More capital; usually better premium efficiency |
| 100g | Larger commitment; often lower unit premium |
| 1kg | Large-value holding with less denomination flexibility |

Buying a 1g gold bar in Singapore
When comparing 1g bars, use the same specifications. Check weight, fineness, refiner or mint, total selling price, premium over underlying gold, packaging or assay information, buy-back policy and GST/IPM treatment where relevant. Don't compare a 1g PAMP 999.9 bar with a jewellery-rate quote and assume they're equivalent products.
Is a 1g gold bar GST-free in Singapore?
Not simply because it contains gold. Singapore exempts qualifying Investment Precious Metals from GST. Whether a particular 1g bar qualifies depends on the applicable IPM criteria, including purity and other product requirements. High purity alone does not automatically make every 1g gold product GST-exempt. For the full Singapore explanation, see Is Gold GST-Free in Singapore?
Selling 1 gram of gold
The reference value shown above is not necessarily what a buyer will pay. A buy-back offer can depend on fineness, verified product, condition, refiner, packaging, buyer spread and resale route. For jewellery, additional questions around non-gold weight and refining may also apply.
