Gold calculator

Find out what your gold is worth at today's live price, by weight, unit and karat, in your own currency.

How the calculator works

The calculator turns the weight you enter into grams, works out how many of those grams are pure gold, and multiplies by today's price for pure gold in your currency. The pure gold content is the weight multiplied by the karat divided by 24. So 10 grams of 22K gold contains 10 × 22 ÷ 24, which is about 9.17 grams of pure gold. The price per gram of 24K gold is the live international price per troy ounce, divided by 31.1035, then converted with the latest exchange rate.

What the result means

The result is the value of the gold in your item at the spot-based price. It is a useful reference when you are thinking of selling or pricing old jewellery, comparing offers, or checking whether a price you were quoted looks fair. It is not the price a shop will pay you, or charge you. When you sell, a buyer normally pays below spot to cover the cost of melting, testing and resale, and sometimes deducts a percentage for impurities or stones. When you buy, a shop adds making charges and tax.
