The Saudi Arabia gold market
Saudi Arabia's gold market is concentrated in Jeddah and Riyadh, with 21-karat being the regional jewellery standard rather than 22K. Retail prices are quoted per gram. The Kingdom applies a 15% VAT on jewellery making charges (not on the gold metal value itself for investment-grade bars). Saudi gold demand is strongly seasonal, peaking around weddings, Ramadan and Hajj.

How this June 18, 2018 Saudi Arabia price is calculated
International benchmark. The XAU/USD spot price for June 18, 2018 comes from gold-api.com's historical archive — the London PM-fix benchmark, which is the reference used by central banks and bullion dealers globally. On this date, that price was $1,281.60/oz.
Currency conversion. The SAR/USD exchange rate for the same date comes from exchangerate-api.com. We apply that day's exact rate (3.7501) to the USD price — not a year-average or month-end approximation. This makes the ﷼ figure on this page accurate to the trading session.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417). We never compound rounding errors by going through intermediate units.
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Saudi Arabia, add the country-specific levies described in the “Saudi Arabia gold market” section above. The retail rate at a jeweller in Saudi Arabia on June 18, 2018 would have been a few percent above this number once those costs are included.
