Frequently asked questions
- What does the ounce price on this page show?
- The spot price of one troy ounce of pure gold in US dollars. The calculator below converts it into other currencies, karats and weights.
- What is a troy ounce?
- 31.1035 grams, the unit used to price precious metals worldwide. It is heavier than the ordinary (avoirdupois) ounce of 28.35 grams.
- How do I convert the ounce price to grams or kilograms?
- Divide by 31.1035 for one gram and multiply by 32.1507 for one kilogram. At $4,000 an ounce, for example, a gram of pure gold is about $128.60 and a kilogram about $128,603.
- Is the ounce price what a one-ounce coin costs?
- No. Coins and small bars sell at a premium over spot to cover minting and distribution, a few percent for widely traded coins and more for small or collectible pieces.
- Why is gold priced in US dollars?
- The largest markets, in London and New York, trade in dollars, so every other currency's price is converted from XAU/USD. That is why the price in riyals or pounds can move even when the dollar price does not.
