How this February 18, 2026 Turkey price is calculated
International benchmark. The XAU/USD spot price for February 18, 2026 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 $5,009.90/oz.
Currency conversion. The TRY/USD exchange rate for the same date comes from exchangerate-api.com. We apply that day's exact rate (43.7207) 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 Turkey, add the country-specific levies described in the “Turkey gold market” section above. The retail rate at a jeweller in Turkey on February 18, 2026 would have been a few percent above this number once those costs are included.
