Gold Price Per Gram — All Karats Explained

The gold price per gram depends on the karat, which indicates how much pure gold is in the alloy. 24K gold is 99.9% pure, while lower karats like 14K and 10K contain other metals for durability. This page shows the current gold price per gram for every common karat, updated live from COMEX Gold Futures.

Understanding Gold Karats

A karat represents 1/24th of the total weight being pure gold. 18K gold is 75% pure gold (18 ÷ 24), making it a popular choice for fine jewelry. 14K gold at 58.3% purity is the most common in the United States, offering a balance of durability and gold content. 10K gold is the minimum karat that can legally be sold as gold in the US.

Gold Price Per Ounce and Troy Ounce

Gold is traditionally quoted in troy ounces (31.1g), which is slightly heavier than a standard avoirdupois ounce (28.35g). Our reference table shows prices in both units so you can quickly compare the gold price per ounce and gold price per troy ounce for any karat.
