Gold Price Per Gram Today
The gram is gold's universal retail unit — from a single gram gifted at a wedding to the 10 g biscuit and the 100 g bar. Live pure-metal prices for every karat, every quantity, in 100+ currencies.
Gold Price Per Gram by Karat — 24K to 10K (USD)
A "gram of gold" is only half a question — the other half is purity. The same gram is worth very different amounts at each karat, because karat ÷ 24 is the fraction of pure gold inside:
| Karat | Fineness | Price / Gram |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 | $132.26 |
| 22K | 916 | $121.23 |
| 21K | 875 | $115.72 |
| 18K | 750 | $99.19 |
| 14K | 585 | $77.15 |
| 10K | 417 | $55.11 |
1 Gram to 100 Grams — What Each Quantity Is Worth

| Quantity | 24K Value | 22K Value |
|---|---|---|

How the Per-Gram Price Is Calculated
price_per_gram = XAU/USD spot ÷ 31.1035 × (karat ÷ 24) × exchange_rateWorked example right now: gold is $4,114 per troy ounce → $4,114 ÷ 31.1035 = $132.26 per gram of 24K. For 18K multiply by 0.75 → $99.19. For rupees, dirhams or any currency, multiply by the live exchange rate — that is the entire secret behind every gram price on earth.
There is no separate "gram market": the gram price is pure arithmetic on the world spot price, which is why it updates every minute and is identical (before taxes and premiums) in every country.
Why the Gram Is Gold's Most Useful Number
Wholesale gold trades per troy ounce and institutional gold per kilogram — but nearly every retail decision on earth happens per gram. Jewellers price making charges per gram. Scrap buyers quote per gram. South Asian biscuits are 5, 10 and 50 grams. Even the tola (11.664 g) and the ounce (31.1035 g) are, in the end, gram multiples. Learn the per-gram price and you can audit any gold quote in any shop in under ten seconds: weight × purity × per-gram rate = the metal value, and everything above that number is premium, tax or making charge.
Physically, a gram of pure gold is tiny — a 3.7 mm cube, or the familiar fingernail-sized minted wafer — because gold packs 19.3 g into every cubic centimetre. That density is why a value this large hides in something this small, and why weighing on a proper digital scale matters more with gold than with any other purchase. For the full story of the smallest unit, see what a gram of gold looks like; for bigger denominations, jump to the price per kilogram or gold bar prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 1 gram of gold today?
One gram of pure 24K gold costs $132.26 USD right now. In 22K that gram is worth $121.23, and in 18K about $99.19. The tables above convert it into 100+ currencies live.
How is the gold price per gram calculated?
Gold trades globally in US dollars per troy ounce (XAU/USD). Divide that price by 31.1035 — the grams in one troy ounce — to get the pure 24K per-gram price, then multiply by karat ÷ 24 for lower purities and by your exchange rate for local currency.
How much is 10 grams of gold worth?
Ten grams of 24K gold is worth $1,323 at today's rate — the standard "gold biscuit" size across South Asia. In 22K, 10 grams is worth about $1,212.
Why is the price on jewellery higher than the per-gram gold price?
Jewellery adds making charges (3–12%), taxes (GST/VAT), and is usually 22K or 18K rather than pure 24K. The per-gram prices here are pure metal values — the correct baseline for judging any quote, not the final shop price.
Is buying gold by the gram a good idea?
Grams are the most flexible entry point, but small minted bars carry the highest premiums (10–20% for 1 g, falling to 2–4% at 10 g and ~1% at 1 kg). For savings, larger denominations deliver more gold per dollar; for gifts and starting out, 1–5 g pieces are ideal.
