What is a Gram? Palladium weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The gram is the everyday retail unit for precious metals outside the English-speaking wholesale market. One gram equals 1 grams, or 0.03215 troy ounces, which at today's palladium spot price works out to — CHF.
Where it is used. Jewellers, pawn shops and scrap buyers all quote per gram, and small investment bars start at 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g and 100 g. The unit is the trading standard in Europe, Middle East and most retail markets.
Pricing conventions. Premiums rise sharply as gram size falls: a 1 g bar can cost 20–40% over melt value, while a 100 g bar sits within a few percent of spot. Scrap offers are usually a discount to the gram price by karat. Palladium is almost entirely an industrial metal, so a retail quote in this unit is a conversion from the ounce price rather than a rate you will see posted in a shop.
Good to know. Gram pricing is also how most karat calculations are done: multiply the gram price by the purity fraction (for example 0.750 for 18K).

Buying Palladium in Switzerland: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per gram, the price you see here is the international XPD spot price converted into Swiss Franc. Physical buyers in Switzerland pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Zurich, home to the world's largest gold refineries. Buyers there generally watch the Zurich spot market quoted per kilogram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver carries 8.1% VAT, while platinum and palladium in investment form can be VAT-exempt when bought in recognised bar sizes. Palladium is dominated by industrial buyers, so retail coins and bars are scarce and premiums move sharply with supply news. That is why the shop price of palladium in CHF can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same gram of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Switzerland are UBS and cantonal bank counters, refiner-linked dealers (PAMP, Argor-Heraeus, Valcambi), free-port vault storage and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include PAMP Suisse 1 oz bars, Valcambi CombiBar, 100 g bars, Vreneli coins.
Local conventions. Around two thirds of the world's gold is refined in Switzerland, so bar branding and assay certificates are unusually important to local buyers. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per gram with the live palladium price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline CHF quote.
