How 18K Gold Prices Work

Understand how the live 18K per-gram rate is derived and how to use it when comparing offers from refiners, gold buyers, and pawn shops.

What is the current 18K gold price per gram?

The current 18K gold price per gram is derived from the live global spot market, then adjusted to reflect 18K purity. Because 18K gold contains 75% pure gold, its market value per gram is higher than 10K or 14K gold when compared against the same live spot price.

This page updates the 18K gold price automatically so you can check today’s rate before comparing buyer offers, valuing jewelry, or estimating your scrap gold melt value.

How is the 18K gold price per gram calculated?

We start with the live 24K spot price, convert it from a troy ounce to a gram price, and then multiply it by 75%, which is the purity of 18K gold. That gives you a transparent, market-derived 18K gold price per gram.

This formula makes it easier to compare the live 18K gram price with buyer payouts, scrap offers, or your own item’s estimated melt value.

Is the 18K gold price per gram the same as scrap value or pawn shop value?

Not exactly. The live 18K gold price per gram on this page reflects the intrinsic gold-content value based on the market. Scrap buyers and pawn shops usually pay less because they account for refining losses, resale margin, and operating costs.

Use the market-based 18K estimate here as your benchmark before accepting an offer. That way, you can tell whether a buyer is paying fairly relative to the current metal value.

18K vs 14K vs 10K gold value

18K gold is 75% pure, so it is worth more per gram than 14K gold at 58.3% purity or 10K gold at 41.7% purity. If you want a direct comparison, use the matching 10K and 14K calculator pages after reviewing this live 18K rate.
