Premium is the Lustre range of what dealers charged over the metal value for one item on 28 Oct 2026 (SD Bullion and Kitco, single-item prices), rounded outward. It moves every day; see compare prices for the dealers. Large bars usually carry a lower premium per ounce than small coins, because the making cost is spread over more metal. A 1,000 troy ounce silver bar weighs 31.1 kg.
A kilo is not 32 troy ounces
A kilo is 1,000 grams, which is 32.1507 troy ounces. A dealer prices a kilo bar by its exact content, so it is worth a little more than 32 ounces (about 0.15 troy ounce, or 4.7 grams, of silver more). Weighing in grams avoids the mix-up between troy ounces, everyday ounces and kilos.

Quick answers
What is the silver price per kilo today?
The live number is at the top of this page, in US dollars per kilo of pure silver. It is the silver spot price per troy ounce multiplied by 32.1507, and it updates about every minute. A kilo is 1,000 grams, which is 32.1507 troy ounces.
How do I change the silver price per ounce into a price per kilo?
Multiply the price per troy ounce by 32.1507, the number of troy ounces in a kilo (1,000 grams divided by 31.1035). Or work in grams: price per gram times 1,000.
Is the silver price per kilo what I will be paid?
No. It is the value of the pure metal at the market price. A dealer pays a share of the metal value for scrap: typically about 70% to 90% of melt for scrap silver and sterling. That range is a Lustre editorial estimate, not a quote. Coins and bars cost more than the metal value because they carry a premium.
