formula
Primary Formula: Gold Value
Gold Value = Price Per Gram * Weight in Grams
Component Formulas:
1. Price Per Gram
Price Per Gram = (Current Gold Spot Price / 31.1035) * (Karat / 24)
Current Gold Spot Price: The live market price for one troy ounce of pure (24k) gold.
31.1035: The number of grams in one troy ounce (standard for spot prices).
Karat: The purity of the gold item (e.g., 24, 22, 18, 14, 10).
24: The benchmark for pure gold.
2. Weight in Grams
If the weight is already in grams, you can use it directly. Otherwise, convert it from other units:
To convert from Ounces (Avoirdupois) to Grams:
Weight in Grams = Weight in Ounces * 28.3495
To convert from Troy Ounces to Grams:
Weight in Grams = Weight in Troy Ounces * 31.1035
To convert from Pennyweight (dwt) to Grams:
Weight in Grams = Weight in Pennyweight * 1.55517
Gold Price Quick Reference Table
Karat | Purity (%) | Conversion Multiplier (Price Per Gram) |
---|---|---|
24k | 100% | 1.0000 |
22k | 91.67% | 0.9167 |
18k | 75% | 0.7500 |
14k | 58.33% | 0.5833 |
10k | 41.67% | 0.4167 |
Note: Multiply the multiplier by the spot price per gram to find the price for that karat gold.
Example
Suppose the current gold spot price is 1,900 USD per troy ounce, and you have a 22k gold ring weighing 15 grams.
Price Per Gram = (1,900 / 31.1035) * (22 / 24) = 57.02 USD
Gold Value = 57.02 * 15 = 855.30 USD
This means your gold ring’s estimated value is 855.30 USD.
Most Common FAQs
Gold is priced per gram to make it easier for people to calculate the value of smaller quantities, especially for jewelry and small bars.
Yes, higher purity gold contains more actual gold content, making it more valuable compared to lower karat gold of the same weight.
Gold prices change throughout the day, so it’s best to check live rates before making a buying or selling decision.
