Built by one developer

GoldGramPrice tells you what your gold is actually worth. Live spot price, real karat purity, honest melt value. It's one of the small, fast tools I build solo and full-time under zovo.one. No account, no pop-ups, no thousand-word essay before the number loads.

One job, done fast

Most "what is my gold worth" sites bury a simple calculator under banner ads and a wall of filler. I go the other way. The calculator loads first, and it does one thing well. It takes the spot price, divides by 31.1035, multiplies by your karat's real purity, and multiplies by your weight. That's the melt value, the raw metal worth. It isn't a dealer's lowball offer dressed up as a quote.

The spot price refreshes every hour from a live precious-metals feed, with a visible timestamp so you always know how fresh the number is. I built the whole thing myself and I work on it full-time. That's the only reason it stays this fast, and the only reason a feature request from a stranger gets read the same day.

This isn't my first tool. I've shipped 20 Chrome extensions and merged more than 140 pull requests into open-source projects, among them Google Chrome, axios, and NiceHash. I run Zovo, and GoldGramPrice gets the same care as everything else there.

What it is, and what it isn't

Melt value is the floor, not the offer. Dealers pay roughly 60 to 90% of it and set their own terms. Rare coins and designer pieces can be worth far more than their metal. I give you the raw number so you walk in already knowing it. That's the whole point of the site.

If a price looks off, or you want a karat, a unit, or a feature added, send it over. Small fixes usually ship the same week. The bigger ideas go on a list I actually work through.

Here's the math in full. Melt value equals spot divided by 31.1035, times your karat's purity, times the weight in grams. Right now the spot price across the site is $4,343.30 per troy ounce. Purity by karat runs 24K Gold 99.9% · 22K Gold 91.67% · 18K Gold 75.00% · 14K Gold 58.50% · 10K Gold 41.67%.

Where everything lives

Try it first

The best way to decide if any of this is worth it is to use the thing. Drop in your gold's karat and weight, and read the number.
