Understanding Platinum Price Per Kilogram

One kilogram platinum bars are a niche but important segment of the physical platinum market. Unlike gold kilo bars, which are widely held by central banks and institutions, platinum kilo bars are primarily purchased by industrial buyers, sophisticated investors, and wealth management firms. LBMA-accredited platinum bars must meet a minimum purity of 99.95% (9995), which is higher than the gold standard of 99.5%. Major refiners producing platinum kilo bars include Johnson Matthey, Heraeus, and Tanaka.

  • LBMA Good Delivery platinum bars require 99.95% minimum purity (9995 fineness)
  • Kilo bars typically carry 2-5% premiums over spot, higher than gold kilo bars due to lower liquidity
  • Annual global platinum production is roughly 190 metric tons, making kilo bars relatively scarce
  • Major platinum bar refiners include Johnson Matthey, Heraeus, PAMP Suisse, and Tanaka
  • Institutional buyers and industrial end-users are the primary purchasers of platinum kilo bars

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kilo of platinum cost?
The price of a 1 kg platinum bar equals the current XPT/USD spot price multiplied by 32.1507 troy ounces, plus a dealer premium (typically 2-5%). Platinum kilo bars carry higher premiums than gold kilo bars due to lower trading volumes and fewer accredited refiners.

How many ounces are in a kilo of platinum?
One kilogram of platinum contains exactly 32.1507 troy ounces. This is the same conversion used across all precious metals markets. Troy ounces (31.1035 grams each) are the standard unit for precious metals trading and are slightly heavier than regular avoirdupois ounces (28.3495 grams).
Is platinum per kilo cheaper than gold?
Yes, platinum has traded below gold since approximately 2015. Historically, platinum was the more expensive metal, but the Dieselgate scandal, declining diesel vehicle demand, and strong gold investment flows reversed the relationship. As a result, a kilogram of platinum currently costs significantly less than a kilogram of gold, making platinum kilo bars more accessible for investors seeking large physical holdings.
Where can I buy platinum kilo bars?
Platinum kilo bars can be purchased from major bullion dealers, specialized precious metals retailers, and some banks. Look for LBMA-accredited bars from recognized refiners like Johnson Matthey, Heraeus, or PAMP Suisse. Due to the higher value and lower liquidity compared to gold, fewer dealers stock platinum kilo bars, so availability may be limited. Online precious metals retailers often offer the best selection and competitive premiums.
