What a 1 gram gold bar is actually worth
The metal in a 1 gram bar is worth the gold spot price divided by 31.1035, which is the live figure at the top of this page. Retail prices sit well above that: expect to pay 15 to 30 percent over melt for a PAMP or Valcambi bar in an assay card, and to receive somewhere between melt and a small premium when you sell. The premium is the cost of minting, the assay card, and distribution, and it does not grow with the gold price, which is why larger bars are cheaper per gram.
