How Hungary gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The HUF/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2021 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every HUF figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × HUF/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all March 2021 prices on this page.
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).
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 Hungary, add the country-specific levies described in the “Hungarygold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
HUF prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for March 2021 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2021-end HUF/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.
Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?
The Ft figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to HUF at the 2021-end exchange rate. Hungary's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
