Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an ounce of gold worth today?

As of today, the live gold price per ounce is $4088.87.

The spot price you see when searching for the price of gold reflects the value of one ounce of 24K gold, which is 99.99% pure. However, not all gold is 24K gold, so we have to adjust the price based on the purity.

How much is gold worth per gram?

As of today, the live gold price per gram is $131.46.

Gold price charts display the market value of 24K gold, the purest form of gold. Jewelry and most everyday gold items contain a mix of gold and other metals, so their value must be calculated based on their purity. That’s why the prices for 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K are all different per gram.

How much is my gold worth?

How much your gold is worth depends on three things: purity, weight, and the spot price of gold. First, determine the purity of your gold piece. Then, weigh it. Enter all of that information into the calculator above to get the most up-to-date estimate of your gold’s value.

Additional FAQ

The value of gold changes daily. Markets track the cost of gold by its “spot price.” The spot price is the current market value of 24K gold per ounce, excluding any additional fees. Real-time global trading determines this price.

Many factors affect the spot price of gold, including supply and demand, interest rates, and the strength of the U.S. dollar. Other factors come into play when pricing your gold piece. The purity and weight of your gold determine the value.

The payment a seller can expect to receive varies. One should never expect the full spot price for their gold. The location and method of sale determine the final value. At Alloy Market, we guarantee the highest payouts. We will meet or beat any competitors’ offers.

To know how much to sell gold for, you must know three things about your gold: purity (karats), weight, and spot price. From there, it is a simple calculation.

Purity – look for a karat marking on your piece. In this example, we will use 14K, which is 58.5% pure gold.
Weight – for ease of use, weigh your gold in grams.
Spot Price – look up the current spot price for the most accurate estimate.

Finally, you will multiply all these together.

Example (14K gold, 10g, spot price $80/g):
10g × 0.585 × $80 = $468

Of course, the simplest way to determine your gold’s value is to use the calculator at the top of the page. Select the karat option for your piece and enter the weight to find the value. The Alloy Market also provides you with the minimum offer you can expect when you sell to us, making the process even more convenient for you.

The first step in selling your gold is to understand its value. That is why we recommend using the calculator above. When you are ready to sell, request a kit. Once received, our expert advisors will carefully appraise your item(s) and send you an offer.

For more information about our process, read about how it works.

We determine your payout using the following steps:

1. Purity: We will determine the purity of your gold upon receipt. We utilize several methods for testing. These include electronic testing, acid testing, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.

2. Weight: We measure your gold in grams or troy ounces on scales licensed by the State of Pennsylvania. These scales determine the most precise weight of your valuables. The weight excludes any other present metals or stones.

3. Market Price (Spot Price): The spot price is essential to evaluating the value of your gold. Gold prices fluctuate in response to supply and demand, economic factors, and global events. Our team regularly stays up-to-date with the latest market trends. Marketing data refreshes every 60 seconds to provide industry-leading offers.

4. Evaluation: Our evaluators will then calculate the value of your gold item. The purity, weight, and the current market price of gold determine its value. For example, if a gold item is stamped 14K and weighs 10 grams, it means the item contains 58.5% pure gold. Multiply the weight (10g) by the purity (0.585) to get 5.85 grams of pure gold. If the current market price is $80 per gram, the value is 5.85g × $80 = $468.

Please keep in mind that no gold buyer purchases gold at the spot price. However, The Alloy Market guarantees the highest payout on the market.
