Gold is the most traded precious metal on earth — a monetary asset, a jewelry staple, and the ultimate hedge against currency debasement. The live spot price you see here is the wholesale benchmark used by banks, refineries, and bullion dealers worldwide, sourced from the London Bullion Market (LBMA) and COMEX in real time.
United States
In the US, 14K and 10K gold dominate everyday jewelry while 24K Gold Eagles and Buffalos lead investment demand. Physical gold is taxed as a collectible at up to 28% on long-term gains.
The global gold price is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce (oz) and is set continuously during market hours by supply and demand across three main venues: the LBMA in London (which runs the twice-daily Gold Fix), COMEX in New York (futures), and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (physical Chinese demand). When you view a price on this page, we take that USD/oz quote, convert it to USD, and re-express it per gram, per troy ounce, and per tola so you can match the unit your local market uses. Updates stream every 60 seconds.
The troy ounce (31.1035 grams) is the international benchmark — every quote you see in financial media refers to this unit. The gram is the standard retail unit across Europe, the Middle East, and Turkey; most jewelry price tags in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt display a gram price. The tola (11.6638 grams, roughly 0.375 troy oz) remains dominant in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal for both jewelry and investment bars. Our calculator converts between all three instantly — enter a weight in any unit and the others update live. At $4,164.80 per troy ounce today, that equates to $133.90 per gram and $1,561.80 per tola of pure gold.
Whether you're valuing a jewelry chain, an investment bar, or a coin, the calculation follows the same four-step formula. The worked example uses today's live spot.
Karat (K) describes parts of pure gold out of 24. 24K is 99.9% pure — soft, yellow, and used for investment bars and coins. 22K (91.67%) is the gold-standard for Indian and Gulf jewelry: rich colour, high intrinsic value, moderate durability. 21K (87.5%) dominates Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egyptian souqs. 18K (75%) is European luxury and high-end bridal — harder, paler, better for gem settings. 14K (58.3%) and 10K (41.7%) are North American market standards, offering affordability and strength at the cost of intrinsic value. When comparing jewelry pieces, always normalize by dividing price by (weight × fineness) — this is the per-gram-pure cost, the only fair apples-to-apples comparison.
Four primary forces drive gold's price day to day. (1) Real interest rates — when inflation-adjusted bond yields fall, gold rallies because the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset drops. (2) The US dollar index (DXY) — gold is priced in dollars, so a weaker dollar means more gold per dollar. (3) Central bank buying — emerging-market central banks (China, Russia, India, Turkey) have been net buyers for over a decade, structurally supporting demand. (4) Geopolitical and financial stress — wars, banking crises, and currency devaluations all trigger flight-to-safety flows into physical gold. Weekly catalysts include the US CPI print, Federal Reserve meetings, and the non-farm payrolls report.
For pure investment, sovereign bullion coins (American Gold Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Saudi Guinea) and LBMA-certified bars offer the smallest premium over spot — typically 2–5% — and the cleanest resale market. One-ounce and ten-gram bars from refiners like PAMP Suisse, Perth Mint, and Metalor are globally liquid. For wealth preservation with wearability, 22K or 21K jewelry from reputable souqs retains 85–95% of its metal value and doubles as an adornment. Avoid heavy designer jewelry as a store of value — the brand premium can add 100% or more and rarely recovers on resale. Always buy from a dealer who quotes their buy-back price upfront.
The spot price is the wholesale price banks, refiners, and large dealers trade at. Retail prices — from a coin shop, a jewelry store, or an online bullion dealer — add a premium on top: typically 2-5% over spot for investment-grade coins and bars (like American Gold Eagles), and considerably more, often 20-50%+, for fashion jewelry where craftsmanship and brand matter more than raw metal content.
US jewelry pricing rarely itemizes a per-gram 'making charge' the way Gulf or South Asian markets do — it's usually folded into a flat retail markup. For bullion coins and bars, the premium over spot instead reflects minting costs, dealer margin, and demand, and widens noticeably during periods of high physical demand or supply shortages.
The US dollar is the currency gold is priced in worldwide, so there's no peg or float dynamic to account for here — gold price movements in USD are purely a function of global supply, demand, interest rates, and dollar strength. Sales tax on bullion varies by state; many states exempt investment-grade gold and silver from sales tax entirely, which is worth checking locally since it isn't reflected in the price shown here.
Why is the price shown here the same as the 'international' gold price?
Because gold is priced in USD globally — the US price is the base reference every other currency converts from.
What's the difference between the spot price and what I'd pay at a coin shop?
Spot is the wholesale benchmark; retail adds a dealer premium, typically 2-5% for bullion and much more for jewelry.
Is sales tax included in the price shown?
No — sales tax on gold varies by US state, and many states exempt investment-grade bullion entirely.
What's the purest form of gold I can buy?
24K (99.9% pure) bars and coins like American Gold Buffalos; American Gold Eagles are 22K, alloyed with copper and silver for durability.
How often does the price update?
