Gold units at a glance (USD)
What moves the gold price?
Gold is priced by continuous global trading, so it moves whenever markets are open. The main drivers are real interest rates (gold pays no yield, so it competes with bonds), the US dollar’s strength (gold is dollar-denominated), central-bank buying, and demand for safe-haven assets during geopolitical or financial stress.
Because the metal is quoted per troy ounce, per-gram and per-karat prices are pure arithmetic from spot: ounce ÷ 31.1034768 × fineness. That is exactly what our published methodology computes every minute — no rounding tricks, no stale tables. An 18k gram currently sits at $110.53.
Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 gram of gold right now?
One gram of 24k (.999) gold is worth $147.23 as of 09:46 UTC. The same gram in 18k jewellery purity is $110.53. Prices update every minute from live spot data.
How is the gold price per gram calculated?
The global spot price is quoted per troy ounce (31.1034768 grams). We divide the spot price by 31.1034768 to get the pure-gold gram price, then multiply by each karat’s fineness: 24k = 0.999, 22k = 0.9167, 18k = 0.750 and 14k = 0.5833. See our methodology page for the full formulas.
Why does the gold price change throughout the day?
Gold trades nearly 24 hours a day across New York, London and Asian markets. Supply and demand, currency movements, real interest rates and geopolitical news move the price continuously — which is why this page refreshes every minute instead of showing a daily fix.
Is this the price I would pay at a jeweller?
No. The prices here are the live metal value. Jewellers add making charges, premiums and local taxes on top, and scrap buyers typically pay below melt value. Our figures give you the fair baseline to negotiate from.
What is the difference between 24k, 22k, 18k and 14k gold?
The karat number measures purity by weight: 24k is 99.9% pure gold, 22k is 91.67%, 18k is 75.0% and 14k is 58.33%. Higher karat gold is softer and more yellow; lower karat alloys are harder and better for everyday jewellery.
