Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using our gold price calculator and understanding karat grades.
Our gold price calculator uses the standard industry formula: Current Spot Price × Weight × Purity (Karat) Percentage. Unlike generic charts, this tool calculates the specific payout based on real-time data. For example, if you input 10 grams of a necklace at 14K (58.3%) purity, the calculator applies the current spot price to give you an exact cash estimate.
It is designed to show 'Scrap Price.' The Spot Price is the stock market value for 99.9% pure 24K bullion. This gold price calculator estimates the actual cash price a refinery or gold buyer will pay you, which is always lower than spot because it accounts for the buyer's refining and processing costs.
This gold price calculator supports estimates for all major karat categories:
- 24K Gold: Pure gold (99.9%), typically found in investment bullion and coins.
- 18K Gold: High-quality jewelry (75% gold), common in luxury watches and rings.
- 14K Gold: The most common US jewelry standard (58.3% gold), durable and widely used.
Purity is the most critical factor in accurate pricing. Most gold jewelry is actually an alloy mixed with other metals for durability. For instance, 14K gold is only 58.3% pure gold, while the rest is copper, silver, or zinc. Our calculator adjusts for these alloys so you don't overestimate the value based on the weight of the non-gold metals.
Yes. While gold is traditionally traded in Troy Ounces on the market, our calculator includes a built-in unit converter. You can enter weights in grams, pennyweights (dwt), or standard ounces, and the tool will automatically normalize the data to give you a correct price estimate in your preferred currency format.
