Investment Intelligence

Gold is priced by weight and purity, so two pieces of the same size can be worth very different amounts. This calculator takes the weight, the karat and the current market price, and returns the melt value of the gold in the item.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter the weight of the item in grams (or ounces).
  • Select the purity: 24K is pure; 22K, 18K and 14K are common in jewellery.
  • Enter the current gold price per gram or per troy ounce.
  • Press calculate to see the gold value.

Melt value vs what a buyer pays

The result is the value of the gold content itself. Dealers pay below it (their margin and refining costs), and jewellery with stones, branding or craftsmanship can sell above melt as a finished piece. Use melt value as your floor in any negotiation, and get the item tested if the karat is unmarked.
