Data Sources & Methodology
The chart above shows the live silver price per kilo over 5 years. Use the buttons below the chart to switch between timeframes and weight units.
Our silver price data is sourced from the global spot market reference rate XAG/USD, the widely-quoted international benchmark for silver priced in US dollars per troy ounce.
Prices are streamed once per minute during market hours and stored as 1-minute OHLC (open, high, low, close) bars. Longer timeframes are aggregated from this granular data, for example the “1D” view shows the last 24 hours, “1W” uses 30-minute bars, and yearly views use daily closing prices.

Silver Price FAQ
- How much is 1 kilo of silver worth today?
The silver price fluctuates continuously during market hours. See the live silver price above for the current value per kilo.
- What determines the silver price?
Silver prices are driven by a unique combination of industrial demand and monetary/investment demand. About 50% of annual silver consumption goes to industrial uses (electronics, solar panels, 5G infrastructure), while the other half is split between jewelry, silverware, and investment. This dual nature makes silver more volatile than gold.
- Why is silver important for solar energy?
Silver is a critical component in photovoltaic (PV) cells used in solar panels due to its unmatched electrical conductivity. Each solar panel uses approximately 20mg of silver. As global solar installations continue to grow, silver demand from this sector has been rising and now accounts for over 15% of total annual fabrication demand.
