$1,391.93How to use the 18K gold price in Canada
The 18K gold price Canada page is built for a practical selling question: what is a piece marked 750 worth in Canadian dollars today? The calculator starts with the live 24K gold price per gram in CAD, applies the 18K purity factor of 75.0%, and then shows the result by gram, troy ounce and kilogram.
18K gold is common in Canadian fine jewellery, so buyer quotes should be compared against the 750 melt value rather than the 24K spot price. That local context matters because a US dollar gold page or a generic global spot chart does not answer the same question as a Canadian seller typing 18K gold price per gram Canada, 750 gold value, or scrap gold price Canada. Canadian users normally need a CAD figure they can compare against a local jeweller, pawn shop, mail-in buyer, refinery or cash-for-gold counter.
A reliable Canadian comparison also needs a matching timestamp. This site shows the update in Eastern Time, while a quote from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto or Halifax may use local time. Compare the exact CAD price per gram and the quote time together so exchange-rate or intraday market movement is not mistaken for a buyer deduction.
Price per gram versus buyer offer
The number on this page is a melt-value benchmark, not a guaranteed payout. A buyer has to test the item, check the hallmark, remove stones or non-gold parts, cover refining costs and allow for business margin. That is why the best way to compare offers is to ask what percentage of melt value is being paid, not just whether the cash number sounds high.
For example, if you have 8 grams of 18K gold, the current melt value is roughly $1,113.54. If a buyer offers less, the gap may be reasonable if the item has stones, uncertain purity or a small lot size. If the buyer will not show weight, purity, spot price and payout percentage, compare the offer with another buyer before accepting it.
Canadian hallmark and purity checks
Canadian jewellery is often checked by karat mark or fineness stamp. A 750 mark points to 18K gold, but marks can be worn, incomplete or misread. If the item is valuable and the stamp is unclear, use a proper test from a reputable jeweller or buyer before relying on the calculator. Do not value plated, rolled gold or gold-filled items as solid 18K gold.
The safest workflow is simple: identify the mark, weigh only the gold portion, use the matching 18K row, and then compare the payout percentage. If the piece is signed designer jewellery, antique, a collectible coin or set with valuable stones, melt value may be only a floor rather than the best selling price.
Canadian selling check
Before accepting a 18K gold offer
Match the mark
Confirm the buyer is valuing the piece as 750 / 18K, not averaging it with another purity.
Check net gold weight
Remove or account for stones, steel, springs, watch parts and non-gold clasps before comparing quotes.
Compare payout rate
Ask what percentage of melt value is being paid so local, mail-in and refiner offers can be compared fairly.

18K gold price Canada FAQ
What is the 18K gold price per gram in Canada?
The live 18K gold price shown on this page is $139.19 per gram in CAD. It is calculated from the CAD 24K reference price and the 750 purity factor, then rounded for display.
What does 750 mean on Canadian gold?
750 means the item contains about 75.0% pure gold. In practical Canadian selling terms, it should be valued with the 18K row, not with the 24K bullion price.
How much is 8 grams of 18K gold worth?
At the current live rate, 8 grams of 18K gold has an estimated melt value of about $1,113.54, before testing deductions, stones, non-gold parts and buyer margin.
Is this the same as a Canadian jeweller's selling price?
No. This is a melt-value reference. A retail jewellery price can include design, labour, brand value, stones, GST/HST handling and shop margin, while a cash-for-gold quote can be below melt value.
What is a fair cash-for-gold offer for 18K gold?
A strong quote often needs to be compared as a percentage of melt value. As a rough benchmark, 18K buyer offers might fall around $94.65 to $125.27 per gram depending on lot size, assay confidence and buyer type.
Should I use grams or troy ounces for 18K gold in Canada?
For Canadian jewellery and scrap gold, grams are usually the easiest practical unit. Troy ounces are still important for bullion and market quotes, so the page shows both.
