To get the accurate value of your gold, you need to ensure that the gold measurements are accurate. This includes the gold weight and purity. Even a small variation affects the value.
Gold purity is usually measured in karats (K) or fineness — 24K or 999.9 fineness indicates pure gold, and zero karats or zero fineness means no gold.
It measures how many parts out of 24 are pure gold. For example, 24 karat gold means all 24 parts are pure gold — that's 100% gold. 18 karat gold means 18 parts gold and 6 parts other metals, making it 75% pure. Similarly, 8 karat gold means 8 parts gold and 16 parts of another metal, which equals about 33.3% gold.
Fineness is another system used to show purity. It measures the amount of pure gold per thousand parts of metal, usually expressed in 3-4 digits. For example, 999 or 999.9 fineness means 999 parts out of 1,000 are gold — the same as 24 karats or 100% purity. 750 fineness equals 18 karats (75% pure), and 333 fineness equals 8 karats (33.3% pure).
Your gold jewelry or holdings usually have a small stamp indicating its karat (K) or fineness:
| Karat (K) | Fineness | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 | 99.9% (Pure Gold) |
| 22K | 916 | 91.6% |
| 21K | 875 | 87.5% |
| 20K | 833 | 83.3% |
| 18K | 750 | 75.0% |
| 16K | 666 | 66.6% |
| 14K | 583 | 58.3% |
| 12K | 500 | 50.0% |
| 10K | 417 | 41.7% |
| 9K | 375 | 37.5% |
| 8K | 333 | 33.3% |
Gold purity (in both karats and fineness) is often expressed in percentages. For instance, 24 karat gold or 999 fineness means 100% gold. 8 karat or 333 fineness means 33.3% gold, and the remaining 66.7% is made up of other metals.
These systems help you understand the exact gold content in your jewelry and other gold items, whether it's labeled in karats, fineness, or percentage.
Your gold jewelry or holdings usually have a small stamp indicating its karat (K) or fineness, which tells you how pure the gold is.
If your gold doesn't have a stamp, then you can use an electronic gold tester XFR (X-ray fluorescence) analyzer to calculate the gold content.
One of the easiest and best ways to measure the purity of gold is to get it tested by a local jewelry shop or pawn store. Most jewelers have quick testing tools to measure gold purity within minutes.
Gold is most commonly measured in grams, but other units such as milligrams, troy ounces, grains, pennyweights, tolas, and kilograms are also widely used around the world.
Knowing how these units compare helps you interpret gold prices more accurately.
Knowing the exact weight of the gold is important as it determines the total value of your gold, so even small differences can affect the final price.
You can measure weight using a digital jewelry scale or any small scale. If you don't have one, most jewelry shops or pawn stores can weigh your gold for you.

Find the Current Value of Your Gold NowThe calculator uses live gold rates sourced from an authentic database, updated every 10 minutes, to give you reliable estimates. Final prices may vary slightly depending on a jeweler's assessment, refining fees, and market fluctuations.
The gold melt value is the raw market worth of the pure gold in an item if melted and refined — excluding design, craftsmanship, gemstones, or brand premium. This is the baseline number buyers use to price scrap gold, broken jewelry, and investment coins.
You might not get the exact same price estimated by the calculator when you sell your gold, as the calculator gives an estimated melt value based on the current market rate. Most gold buyers deduct small fees to cover costs like testing, melting, and refining. It's best to compare quotes from a few reputable buyers before selling.
Yes. Our calculator works perfectly for the price of scrap gold, helping you estimate how much your broken or unused gold items are worth based on their purity and weight.
The difference between 22K and 24K gold prices mainly comes down to purity. 24K gold is 99.9% pure, while 22K is 91.6% pure with small amounts of other metals. As a result, 24K gold costs more per gram, while 22K is usually about 8–10% cheaper depending on market rates and making charges.
22K gold is expensive because it contains a high percentage of pure gold (about 91.6%), with only a small amount of other metals. The high gold content means its intrinsic value closely follows the global gold market price, so when gold prices rise, 22K jewelry becomes more costly.
To value gold jewelry, check its karat stamp for purity, weigh it in grams, and multiply by the current gold price per gram (adjusted for purity). The simplest option is to use an online gold price calculator like ours.
There are several ways to tell if your gold chain is real or fake. A genuine gold chain will have a hallmark stamp on the clasp showing its karat purity (10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K). It won't attract a magnet, tarnish, or leave green marks on your skin. You can also perform a float test, ceramic scratch test, or get a professional jeweler's inspection to confirm authenticity.
