Pure metal content times the price per gram. The headline number above is for pure gold (1.000), the spot price per gram. 24k bullion is listed at .999, so it is a little lower. Hallmark stamps such as .916 and .585 are the numbers stamped on jewelry; the prices use the share to four decimals (22k is .9167, 14k is .5833). This is melt value, the worth of the metal, not a shop or dealer price. Each karat has its own page with a calculator and the share dealers typically pay.

Questions

Quick answers

What is the gold price per gram today?

The live number is at the top of this page, in US dollars per gram of pure gold. It is the gold spot price per troy ounce divided by 31.1035, and it updates about every minute.

How do I change the gold price per ounce into a price per gram?

Divide the price per troy ounce by 31.1035, the number of grams in a troy ounce. Use the troy ounce, not the everyday (avoirdupois) ounce of 28.35 grams, because metal prices are quoted per troy ounce.

Is the gold price per gram what I will be paid?

No. It is the value of the pure metal at the market price. A dealer pays a share of the metal value for scrap: typically about 60% to 90% of melt for gold jewelry. That range is a Lustre editorial estimate, not a quote. Coins and bars cost more than the metal value because they carry a premium.

What is the price per gram for 18k, 14k or 10k gold?

Multiply the pure gold price per gram by the purity: 18k is 75%, 14k is 58.33% and 10k is 41.67%. The table on this page does it for 24k, 22k, 18k, 14k, 10k and 9k, and each karat has its own page.

How many grams is a tola?

One tola is 11.6638 grams. Gold and silver in India are often quoted per 10 grams or per tola. The table on this page gives both in rupees.

How much is a 1 gram gold bar worth?

Its melt value is the gold price per gram at the top of this page. A 1 gram bar sells for more than that, because the making and packing cost is spread over very little gold. Larger bars carry a lower premium per gram.

What was the average gold price per gram in 2025?

In 2025 the monthly average gold price was $110.65 per gram ($3,441.50 per troy ounce), the mean of the twelve World Bank monthly averages. The table of the last ten years is on this page.
