Set your spread % on the spot price and instantly get the buy and sell prices to display.
The buy-sell spread is the difference between the price at which a dealer buys and the price at which they sell a precious metal. It covers operating costs, storage, market risks and profit. In Switzerland, typical spreads for gold range from 2% to 8% depending on the product type (bars, coins, jewellery).
Example: if the spot price is CHF 82/g and you apply a 5% buy and 5% sell margin, your buying price will be CHF 77.90/g and your selling price CHF 86.10/g. The gross spread is CHF 8.20 per gram, or 10% of spot.
Platforms regulated under the AMLA (Anti-Money Laundering Act) must document transactions exceeding CHF 15,000. A clear margin management system also facilitates compliance with METAS reporting obligations.
