How the Gold Price Per Gram Is Calculated
Gold trades in US dollars per troy ounce, and one troy ounce is 31.1035 grams. To get the price per gram, divide the spot price by 31.1035, then multiply by the karat’s purity:
- 24K per gram = spot ÷ 31.1035 = $3,883.45 ÷ 31.1035 = $124.86
- 14K per gram = 24K per gram × 0.5833 = $72.83
- 10K per gram = 24K per gram × 0.4167 = $52.02
