Gold weight and currency converter
Price any quantity of gold, in any unit and any purity, against the live spot market. Add a dealer premium to see what the same metal would realistically cost at a counter rather than on a screen.

Weights, purity and what the numbers mean
The troy ounce is not the ounce on your kitchen scale
Precious metals are quoted in troy ounces of 31.1034768 grams, roughly 10% heavier than the avoirdupois ounce of 28.35 grams used for groceries. Confusing the two overstates or understates a holding by about a tenth, which is the single most common arithmetic error in retail bullion.
A kilobar is 32.1507 troy ounces. A London Good Delivery bar is nominally 400 troy ounces but is accepted in a range between 350 and 430, which is why professional settlement is by actual weight rather than by count.
Regional units still matter
The tola, at 11.6638 grams, remains the working unit across India, Pakistan and much of the Gulf, and Indian jewellery retail is still quoted per ten grams. The tael, around 37.4290 grams in the Hong Kong convention, prices the Chinese bar trade. The Thai baht bar is 15.244 grams at 96.5% purity for ornaments and 15.16 grams at 99.99% for investment bars.
The British Sovereign is a 7.98805-gram coin struck in 22 carat gold, containing 7.32238 grams of fine metal. Because it is UK legal tender it is exempt from capital gains tax for UK residents, which is why it usually trades at a premium to its pure gold content.
Karat, fineness and melt value
Karat expresses the proportion of gold in an alloy in twenty-fourths: 24k is nominally pure, 22k is 91.67%, 18k is 75%, 14k is 58.33% and 9k is 37.5%. Investment bullion is 99.5% or 99.9% fine; jewellery almost never is.
Melt value is the gold content multiplied by the spot price, and it is the ceiling of what a refiner will pay — not the price. Scrap buyers pay a discount to melt to cover assay, refining loss and margin, typically well below the spot reference shown here.
Currency conversion in this tool
Gold is quoted in US dollars, so any non-dollar figure on this page is the dollar price multiplied by a live exchange rate sourced from European Central Bank reference data. Reference rates are published once per working day and are not dealing rates.
Your bank or platform will apply its own spread on top, commonly between 0.2% and 2%. For a cross-border purchase that conversion cost can exceed a full year of vault storage, so it belongs in your comparison rather than being treated as a rounding detail.
Frequently asked
- Which price does the converter use?
- The live gold spot quote for immediate settlement, converted to your chosen unit and then to your chosen currency using European Central Bank daily reference rates.
- Why does my dealer quote differ from this figure?
- This is the raw metal value. A dealer adds a fabrication and margin premium, and may use its own intraday FX rate. Use the premium field to see the realistic all-in cost.
- What is a tola?
- A South Asian and Gulf weight unit equal to 11.6638 grams. Ten-tola bars are the standard trade unit in Dubai and much of India.
- Can I value old jewellery with this?
- Yes, if you know the carat. Choose the karat purity option and enter the gross weight; the calculator applies the fineness before pricing. Scrap buyers will still bid below the melt value.
