Gold price today in Switzerland (CHF)

Last updated: 10 July 2026

Prices are indicative and reflect the global exchange rate; they do not include making charges or local dealer margins.

How do we calculate these prices?

Prices on this page are calculated automatically from the global spot price of a gold ounce, converted to CHF 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 Switzerland

Switzerland offers several straightforward ways to buy physical gold. Investment bars and coins are sold by major banks, specialist bullion dealers, and through the country’s well-known refiners — PAMP, Valcambi and Argor-Heraeus — whose bars are widely recognized by dealers around the world.

Tax treatment matters here: investment gold (bars and standard coins) is exempt from VAT in Switzerland, while gold jewelry carries VAT. That is one reason buyers who want gold purely as a store of value tend to choose bars or coins rather than ornaments.

In jewelry shops, 18k is the usual standard for fine pieces, while 21k and 22k — familiar to buyers from Arab markets — are less common and more often found at retailers serving international customers. Investment products are almost always 24k (999.9 fine).

• Practical tip: before you pay, check the hallmark or the refiner’s certificate, and compare the dealer’s quote with the live spot price on this page — the gap between the two is the premium you are paying.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a gram of 21k gold in Switzerland today?

As of the latest update, a gram of 21-karat gold costs around CHF 93.14, based on a global spot price of $4,103 per ounce. The table above refreshes automatically, so check it for the current figure.

Is buying gold in Switzerland tax-free?

Investment gold — bars and standard coins — is exempt from VAT in Switzerland. Gold jewelry, however, does carry VAT, which is one reason bars and coins are often the more economical way to hold pure gold.

What is the best way to buy gold in Switzerland?

Common options include banks, established bullion dealers, and products from Swiss refiners such as PAMP, Valcambi and Argor-Heraeus. Always ask for the certificate or check the hallmark, and compare the quoted price with the live spot price before you commit.

Why are gold prices in shops different from the global spot price?

Retailers add a premium over the spot price to cover fabrication, certification and their own margin, and jewelry also includes workmanship charges plus VAT. That is why a 24k gram in a shop typically costs more than the spot-based figure of about CHF 106.45 shown here.
