An independent gold price website, built to show the number people actually pay attention to: the gold price in their own currency and unit.
priceofgold.live shows the live price of gold, silver and platinum, updated every second while markets are open. Most gold price sites quote the international price in US dollars per troy ounce. That is the right benchmark, but it is not what a shopper in Riyadh, Mumbai or Lagos has in mind. People think in riyals per gram, rupees per 10 grams, naira per gram or pounds per ounce. We convert the global price into the local currency and the local unit, so the number on the screen is one you can use.
Today the site covers 170 countries and a selection of major cities, with pages in 20 languages. Each country page shows 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold per gram, per ounce, per tola and per kilo, a simple purchase calculator, and the exchange rate used. Where it is useful we add notes: for example, India, China, South Korea and Vietnam often trade at a premium or discount to the international price, and we say so on those pages.
The gold, silver and platinum spot prices come from a professional market-data feed. Exchange rates come from a public daily rates service. Every step of the calculation, and what the price does not include, is written out on our methodology page. For Singapore and Malaysia we also show the published retail price of one named dealer in each country, clearly labelled as that dealer's price.
We are not a bank, a broker, a bullion dealer or a jeweller. We do not sell gold, we do not take orders and we do not hold anyone's money. The prices are indicative. A shop will charge more than the spot value of the gold because of making charges, taxes and its own margin. Please read our disclaimer before relying on any number.
Prices are validated before they are shown, and we hide a number rather than show one that looks stale or out of range. When a reader tells us about an error we check it and fix it. The guides in our guides section are written to explain how gold pricing works in plain language, and each carries the date it was last reviewed.
The site is run independently by the priceofgold.live team. We may display advertising in future to cover the cost of data and hosting. Advertising will never change the prices we show, and we will always label it clearly. Our privacy policy explains what data is involved.
Questions, corrections and suggestions are welcome. See the contact page or write to info@priceofgold.live.
