Key takeaways

Gold market quotes use troy ounces, not standard ounces.
One gram equals about 0.0321507 troy ounces.
Purity and dealer premiums affect the final value of physical gold.

Gold conversion formulas

The gold price per gram is the price per troy ounce divided by 31.1034768. The price per kilogram is the price per ounce multiplied by 32.1507466. These conversions estimate the raw metal value before premiums, taxes, shipping, or refining costs.

Adjusting for gold purity

The calculator assumes pure 24-karat gold. For 22-karat gold, multiply the pure-gold value by about 0.9167. For 18-karat gold, multiply by 0.75. For 14-karat gold, multiply by about 0.585. Hallmarks and professional testing are more reliable than visual inspection.

  • 24K: approximately 99.9% gold
  • 22K: approximately 91.67% gold
  • 18K: 75% gold
  • 14K: approximately 58.5% gold

Why a dealer quote can differ

Coins, bars, and jewelry do not trade at the same price as unallocated wholesale gold. Product scarcity, minting costs, condition, brand, order size, and dealer inventory all affect the premium. A calculator is useful for establishing a metal-value baseline, not a guaranteed transaction price.
