Gold Price Calculator – Calculate the Value of Your Gold Instantly

Use our Gold Price Calculator to quickly estimate how much your gold is worth based on weight, purity, and today's gold price. Whether you're checking the value of gold jewelry, coins, or bullion, our calculator provides an accurate melt value using real-time market data.

Important: The calculated amount represents the current gold melt value. If you are selling to a jeweler or pawn shop, offers are typically 15–30% lower than the melt price.

How the Gold Price Calculator Works

Determining the value of your gold is simple. You only need three details:

  • ➜ Weight – how much your gold weighs
  • ➜ Purity – gold karat or fineness
  • ➜ Spot Price – current market price of gold per troy ounce

Once these values are entered, the gold price calculator does the math instantly.

Step 1: Measure the Weight of Your Gold

You can weigh your gold using any small digital scale. For best accuracy, a jewelry scale is recommended, but not required.

Common weight units accepted:

  • ➜ Grams (g)
  • ➜ Troy ounces (ozt)
  • ➜ Pennyweights (dwt)
Important: Do not confuse regular ounces (oz) with troy ounces (ozt).
  • 1 oz = 28.35 grams
  • 1 troy oz (ozt) = 31.1 grams
Gold prices are always quoted per troy ounce.
Tip for accuracy
Test your scale before weighing:
  • U.S. penny = 2.5 grams
  • U.S. nickel = 5.0 grams

Step 2: Determine Gold Purity (Karat or Fineness)

Most gold jewelry is not pure gold. Gold is alloyed with other metals to increase durability. Purity indicates how much of the item is actual gold.

Purity is usually stamped on jewelry (inside rings or on clasps).

Common gold purity values

Karat Fineness Gold Content
10K41741.7%
14K583 / 58558.3%
18K75075%
22K916 / 91791.6%
24K999 / 999.999.9%

Watch out for non-gold markings

  • ➜ GF – Gold Filled (not solid gold)
  • ➜ GP, PL, P – Gold plated
  • ➜ RL / Rolled Gold – Thick plating, not solid gold

If no stamp is visible, a local jeweler or gold testing kit can verify purity.

Step 3: Use the Current Gold Spot Price

The gold spot price is the global market price for one troy ounce of pure gold. It fluctuates daily and is used as the benchmark for all gold valuations.

Our gold price calculator automatically uses today's live gold price, so you don't need to look it up separately.

Gold Price Formula (Manual Calculation)

If you prefer to calculate manually, use this formula:

Gold Value = Weight (troy oz) × Purity (%) × Spot Price

Example

  • ➜ 14K gold necklace
  • ➜ Weight: 33 grams
  • ➜ Gold price: $1,940 per troy ounce

Step-by-step:

  • ➜ 14K purity = 14 ÷ 24 = 0.583
  • ➜ 33 grams ÷ 31.1 = 1.061 troy oz
  • ➜ 1.061 × 0.583 × 1,940 = $1,200

Melt value: $1,200

Using our gold price calculator gives the same result instantly.

Gold Price Per Gram Calculation

To calculate the gold price per gram:

  1. Divide the spot price by 31.1
  2. Multiply by purity

Example:

  • ➜ Spot price: $1,940 per ozt
  • ➜ $1,940 ÷ 31.1 = $62.38 per gram (24K)
  • ➜ 14K gold: $62.38 × 0.583 = $36.36 per gram

Important Things to Know Before Selling Gold

You won't receive full melt value

Most gold buyers resell to refineries and need a margin.

Typical payouts:

  • ➜ Cash-for-gold buyers: 70–85%
  • ➜ Strong offers: 85%+
  • ➜ Refinery (business accounts): 98–99%

Designer or antique jewelry may be worth more

Branded, vintage, or custom jewelry can carry a premium beyond gold weight. Professional appraisal is recommended.

Coins may have numismatic value

Some gold coins are worth more than their gold content due to rarity or collector demand.
