How the gold value is calculated
Three things show what your gold is worth:
- the weight of your gold item,
- purity of your gold item, and
- the live market rate of gold at that time
In Australia and most global markets, gold prices are quoted in troy ounces, while in countries like India, gold is more commonly measured and sold by the gram. Gold purity indicates the percentage of gold content in any item. Most jewellery is not purely made of gold. Gold is mixed with different materials to make it tougher, since gold is a soft metal by nature. *Refer to the table below for gold purity expressed in karats and % of gold content.
The market price is the live global price for gold, which changes throughout the day and can be looked up online at any time.
Hence,
Gold Value = Weight (grams) × Purity (%) × Current Gold Price (per gram)
Let’s assume:
- Weight of your. gold = 10 grams
- Purity = 75% (18K gold)
- Gold Price (live market rate) = AUD 100 per gram
Your Gold’s Value = 10 × 0.75 × 100 = AUD 750
*Please note that most gold buyers pay a percentage of the calculated metal value, known as the payout rate, rather than the full 100%. This is because buyers factor in refining, processing, and business costs, which can vary depending on the type and purity of the gold. Bullion products generally receive higher payout rates because they usually require little to no refining, while jewellery payouts may vary due to additional processing involved.
| Gold Purity | Gold Content | Example Value per 100g (AUD) |
| 24K (99.9%) | Almost pure gold | $10,000 |
| 22K (91.6%) | Very high gold content | $9,160 |
| 18K (75%) | Common jewellery gold | $7,500 |
| 14K (58.5%) | Lower gold content | $5,850 |
| 10K (41.7%) | Much lower gold content | $4,170 |
