Formula Used
The gold price is calculated using the following formula:

Where:
- Gold Weight is the amount of gold in ounces or grams.
- Purity Percentage is the percentage of pure gold in the item (e.g., 24K is 99.9% pure).
- Current Gold Price per Ounce is the latest market price of gold per ounce.
This formula ensures that you get an accurate value for your gold based on its purity and current market conditions.
Worked Examples
Let's look at a couple of examples to illustrate how the gold price calculator works.
Example 1: 1 Ounce of 24K Gold
If you have 1 ounce of 24K gold and the current gold price is $2,000 per ounce:
Gold Price = (1 oz × 99.9% × $2,000/oz) / 100 = $1,998
The calculator will display the value as $1,998.
Example 2: 0.5 Grams of 18K Gold
If you have 0.5 grams of 18K gold and the current gold price is $2,000 per ounce (approximately 31.1 grams per ounce):
Gold Price = (0.5 g × 75% × $2,000/31.1g) / 100 ≈ $24.84
The calculator will display the value as approximately $24.84.
