How do we calculate these prices?
Prices on this page are calculated automatically from the global spot price of a gold ounce, converted to EUR using the European Central Bank’s reference exchange rates, then broken down per gram for each karat. Jeweller prices may differ slightly, as shops add making charges and a dealer margin.
Buying gold in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, physical gold is sold through a handful of trusted channels:
- Licensed bullion dealers, the usual route for investment bars and coins;
- Established jewellers in cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague;
- Bullion coins from recognised mints, typically sold through licensed dealers.
The tax treatment is the first thing to understand. Under EU rules, qualifying investment gold — bullion bars and coins — is exempt from VAT, while gold jewellery does carry VAT, which makes bars and coins the more efficient choice when your goal is pure saving.
Karat customs also differ from the Arab world: Dutch jewellers mostly work in 14k and 18k, investment bars are usually 24k, and the 21k gold favoured across the Middle East is typically found at Arab and Turkish jewellers.
One practical tip before you pay: always check the official hallmark or certificate, and compare the dealer’s premium against the live per-gram price shown on this page.
