What your gold is worth
This is spot value for pure gold. Jewelry is an alloy and is worth its fineness share of this — see the karat pages below. Coins and bars sell above spot, by the dealer's premium.

What a gram is
The gram is the unit almost every jeweller, refiner and pawn counter in the world weighs in, which is why it is the number most people actually need.
Jewelry, scrap, small bars, and any quote you are given over a counter outside the bullion trade.
How this is calculated
Spot per troy ounce ÷ 31.1035 × 1.0000 grams. The conversion is exact: the gram is defined against the troy ounce rather than measured against it.
The headline figure is the published spot price restated in grams and carries its own timestamp. Anything multiplied by a weight you enter waits for a live quote — nothing on this site values your metal from a price we cannot vouch for right now.
Common questions
- How is the gold price per gram worked out?
- Spot gold is quoted per troy ounce, which is 31.1035 grams. The price per gram is that figure divided by 31.1035 and multiplied by 1 grams, so there are 31.1035 grams in a troy ounce. The conversion is exact — the gram is defined against the troy ounce rather than measured against it.
- Will I be paid the gold price per gram for what I own?
- Only if it is pure gold and you are selling in wholesale quantity, which almost nobody is. Jewelry is an alloy and is worth its fineness share of this figure — and any buyer pays a percentage of that, not the full amount, because they have to refine it and make a living. Coins and bars sell for more than this figure, by the dealer's premium.
