Gold Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between troy ounce and regular ounce?
A troy ounce (31.1035g) is heavier than a regular avoirdupois ounce (28.35g). Troy ounces are the standard for precious metals.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator is accurate based on the weight, karat, and spot price you provide. However, gold prices fluctuate constantly, so always verify with current market rates.
Can I use this for selling gold?
This provides an estimate based on spot price. Gold dealers typically offer less than spot price and may charge fees. Always compare offers.
What is gold karat?
Karat measures purity. 24K is pure gold (99.9%), and lower karats contain more alloy metals. The purity affects the value.
How do I find the current gold spot price?
Check financial websites, gold dealers, or commodity exchanges for real-time gold spot prices. They update throughout trading hours.

Complete Guide
How Gold Pricing Works
Gold is priced in troy ounces on global commodity markets, with the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold Price serving as the primary benchmark. This price is set twice daily (10:30 AM and 3:00 PM London time) through an electronic auction process. The spot price represents the current market price for immediate delivery, while futures prices reflect expected future values.
Understanding Gold Purity (Karats)
Gold purity is measured in karats (K), with 24K being pure gold (99.9%+ purity). Common purities include: 22K (91.7% gold), commonly used in coins and high-end jewelry; 18K (75% gold), the most popular for fine jewelry balancing durability and value; 14K (58.3% gold), popular in the US for everyday jewelry; and 10K (41.7% gold), the minimum legal standard for gold in the US. Our calculator automatically adjusts the per-gram value based on karat selection.
Factors That Influence Gold Prices
Gold prices are driven by multiple interconnected factors: central bank monetary policy (lower interest rates typically increase gold prices), US dollar strength (gold and USD usually move inversely), inflation expectations (gold is traditionally an inflation hedge), geopolitical uncertainty (drives safe-haven demand), central bank gold purchases (a significant demand driver in 2024-2025), and jewelry/industrial demand.
Gold as an Investment: Key Considerations
Gold can be held as physical bullion (bars, coins), paper gold (ETFs like GLD, futures), or digital gold tokens. Physical gold offers direct ownership but involves storage and insurance costs. ETFs provide easy trading but involve management fees. Over the past 50 years, gold has averaged about 7-8% annual returns, roughly matching inflation. It's generally recommended as 5-15% of a diversified portfolio for hedging purposes.
How to Accurately Weigh and Value Gold
When selling or buying gold, accurate measurement is crucial. Gold is traditionally weighed in troy ounces (31.1035 grams), not standard (avoirdupois) ounces (28.3495 grams). For smaller quantities, grams, pennyweights (dwt), or grains are used. Jewelry dealers typically weigh gold and then deduct for non-gold components (gemstones, clasps). Our calculator supports all common weight units for easy conversion.
