How we calculate our numbers
Where the price comes from and what each number means
Source
We take the world price per ounce in US dollars from Metals.dev, and record the time of each update.
Calculation
Price per gram = (USD per ounce ÷ 31.1035) × (karat ÷ 24).
Not a dealer price
This is a calculated value of the gold content. Coins, bars and jewelry sell for more, and dealers buy for less.
When the market is closed
The global market closes from Friday evening to Sunday evening. We then show the last price with its real time.
