Spot 24K gold price versus the premium on a bar or coin
The 24K gold price per gram on this page is the live New York spot converted to 99.9% gold. A minted 1-gram bar or a 1-ounce bullion coin usually sells above that spot. The extra is fabrication and dealer premium, not extra purity.
When you sell the same bar, many dealers pay close to melt minus a small spread, especially on larger kilo bars. Small 1g and 5g bars can carry a fat buy premium and a thinner sell-back. Use this 24K gold price as the metal floor, then ask what percentage of spot the desk is paying.
Do not price 22K jewelry or American Eagle coins (22K) on the 24K row. Maple Leaf and many 999 bars belong here. A 916 bangle does not.
Grams, tola, and kilo bars on the same 24K gold price
Enter grams in the calculator. A tola is about 11.66 grams of 24K gold, so one tola is 11.66 × the 24K gold price per gram. South Asian “tola price today” quotes are that unit, often in local currency, not a different purity.
A 10-gram 999 bar is 10 × this gram price. A kilo bar is 1,000 × this gram price, or about 32.15 troy ounces. Troy ounces (31.1035 g) are the bullion unit; kitchen ounces are not. If a shop quotes 24K gold per 10 grams, divide their number by 10 to compare with this per-gram row.
This USD 24K gold price per gram is the metal. India, Dubai, and Australia add duty, GST, or VAT on top of conversion. The calculator does not bake those taxes in.
When to use the 24K gold price, and when not to
24K jewellery or “pure gold” gifts
Soft 24K bangles and gift coins still use this purity if they are actually 999. Many “pure gold” gifts are 22K. Check the stamp before using the 24K gold price per gram.
Dental or industrial scrap
Color is not 24K. Dental gold is often a lower karat. Assay or XRF first. Guessing 24K on yellow scrap overstates value.
Mistakes that inflate a 24K quote
- Using kitchen ounces instead of troy ounces on a 1-oz coin.
- Treating a 22K coin as 24K because the package said “gold coin.”
- Comparing a Dubai or India shop tag to this USD 24K gold price without converting currency and taxes.
- Expecting a pawn desk to pay full spot on a 1-gram packaged bar. Premium paid at retail is rarely recovered.
Weigh the 999 metal, then use the 24K calculator at the top as the live 24K gold price per gram floor before you buy or sell a bar.
