How gold value is calculated
1
Start with spot price
The live gold price per troy ounce (31.1035 g), quoted in USD. Currently $4,343.30.
2
Apply karat purity
Multiply by purity. 24K is 99.9% gold, 14K is 58.5%. This gives the per-gram melt value of your specific karat.
3
Multiply by weight
Weigh your item in grams, pennyweight, or troy ounces. Per-gram value × weight = melt value.
Melt value isn't the offer. The number above is raw metal value. Dealers pay a percentage of melt and may adjust for weight, collectibility, or fees. How we calculate →
