Quick answer

One gram of 24k gold costs about $130.40 right now, based on a spot price of $4,059.80 per troy ounce (as of 2026-07-21). Divide spot by 31.1035 to get the pure gram price, then multiply by purity: 18k is 75% of pure, 14k is 58.3%.

How this is calculated

Gold trades globally in US dollars per troy ounce. This page converts that quote to your weight and purity: price = spot ÷ 31.1035 × purity × grams. Purity comes from the karat marking — 18k = 18/24 = 75% gold — so a gram of 18k contains 0.75 g of pure gold and is valued accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

How much is 1 gram of gold worth today?
One gram of pure (24k) gold is worth about $130.40 at the current spot price of $4,059.80 per troy ounce. Lower karats are worth proportionally less — 18k is 75% of that, 14k about 58%. The calculator above shows the live figure in USD, EUR or GBP.
Why is the price quoted per troy ounce?
Precious metals trade in troy ounces, an old unit equal to 31.1035 grams — heavier than the kitchen ounce (28.35 g). To get the gram price, divide the spot price by 31.1035. All the conversions here handle that for you.
What's the difference between 24k, 18k and 14k prices?
Karat measures purity in 24ths. 24k is essentially pure gold, 18k is 75% gold (the rest is alloy), 14k is 58.3%. Since only the gold content has melt value, an 18k gram is worth 75% of a pure gram — jewelry prices add craftsmanship and brand on top.
Is this the price I'd get selling my gold?
No — this is the market (spot) value of the metal itself. Dealers and gold-buying shops pay below spot to cover refining and margin, typically 70–90% for bullion and less for jewelry. Use our scrap gold calculator to model a realistic offer.
How current is this price?
The page loads with our latest verified snapshot and then updates in your browser using PAXG, a tokenized gold market that tracks the spot price around the clock — including weekends, when traditional gold markets are closed.
