Data Methodology

Where does this price data come from?
Gold spot prices are sourced from Metals.Dev, a professional metals data provider, with automatic fallback to gold-api.com for redundancy. Prices are updated in real-time during market hours, ensuring you always see the latest data. All prices reflect the latest available mid-market spot rate.
How is the gold spot price determined?
The gold spot price is derived from the most actively traded futures contracts on COMEX (CME Group) and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). The spot price represents the current market price for immediate delivery, calculated from near-month futures contracts adjusted for carry costs. During off-hours, prices reflect OTC (over-the-counter) trading across global markets, providing continuous 24-hour price discovery.
How is the unit conversion calculated?
The standard trading unit for precious metals is the troy ounce (31.1035 grams). To calculate the price per gram, the troy ounce price is divided by 31.1035. Formula: Price per gram = Price per troy ounce / 31.1035.
When are precious metals markets open?
COMEX futures trade Sunday through Friday, 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET (23 hours per day with a 1-hour break). The London Bullion Market (LBMA) operates Monday to Friday with two daily fixings: AM fix at 10:30 AM London time and PM fix at 3:00 PM London time. Outside of formal exchange hours, precious metals continue to trade on OTC markets globally, meaning prices can move 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Our data reflects these continuous market movements.

Understanding Gold Price Per Gram

Gold trades in troy ounces on COMEX, but most of the world uses grams for everyday transactions. Per-gram pricing is the standard at jewelry counters, gold souks, and retail bullion shops across India, Turkey, and the Middle East. The price per gram equals the current troy ounce spot price divided by 31.1035, the exact number of grams in one troy ounce.

Gram-based pricing dominates retail gold markets across Asia, the Middle East, and much of Europe because it aligns with the metric system and makes smaller purchases accessible. In India, the world's second-largest gold consumer, virtually all jewelry and bullion is quoted in grams.

Turkish gold bazaars, Dubai's Gold Souk, and Southeast Asian markets likewise price gold per gram, often broken down by purity: 24K, 22K, or 18K. For billions of consumers, the per-gram price is far more practical than the troy ounce quote used on commodity exchanges.

Gold bars denominated in grams come in a wide range of sizes. 1-gram bars are popular as gifts and entry-level investments. 10-gram and 20-gram bars serve as affordable savings vehicles in markets like India and Thailand. 50-gram and 100-gram bars from LBMA-accredited refiners such as PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and Argor-Heraeus offer lower premiums per gram. These bars carry assay certificates verifying weight and purity, making them highly liquid on the secondary market.

When comparing gram prices across dealers, account for premiums above spot. Smaller bars carry higher premiums because fixed manufacturing and assay costs are spread over less metal. A 1-gram bar carries a 5-15% premium, whereas a 100-gram bar trades within 1-3% of spot, making larger gram bars more cost-efficient for serious investors.

1 gram: The smallest common unit for gold jewelry purchases
10 grams: A popular bar size in India and Middle Eastern markets
100 grams: The standard investment bar size from major refiners
Regional dominance: Gram pricing is the default in India, Turkey, Dubai, and Southeast Asia

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the gold price per gram calculated?
Divide the current troy ounce spot price by 31.1035. If gold is $2,000 per troy ounce, the price per gram is approximately $64.30. Our calculator updates this conversion in real time.
Why is gold measured in troy ounces instead of grams?
Troy ounces have been the standard for precious metals since the Middle Ages, originating from the French trading city of Troyes. International commodity exchanges still quote gold in troy ounces, even though most of the world uses grams for daily transactions.
How much is 1 gram of 24K gold today?
The price of 1 gram of 24K (pure) gold fluctuates throughout trading hours. Check our live gold chart for the real-time price per gram from COMEX spot data.
What is the difference between a gram and a troy ounce?
A troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams. A regular (avoirdupois) ounce equals 28.3495 grams. The troy ounce is about 10% heavier than a standard ounce. All gold trading uses troy ounces, not regular ounces.
How much is 10 grams of gold worth?
Multiply the current per-gram gold price by 10. As of 2026, 10 grams of 24K gold is worth approximately $900-$1,000 depending on the spot price. A 10-gram gold bar from a reputable refiner like PAMP Suisse or Valcambi costs the gold value plus a dealer premium of approximately 3-5%.
What is the gold price per gram in India?
India prices gold per gram in Indian rupees (INR). The Indian gold price includes the international spot price converted to INR, plus import duties (currently around 6%), GST (3%), and local dealer premiums. This makes Indian gold prices significantly higher than the international spot price. Check our India gold price page for live MCX rates.
Gold price per gram vs per ounce — which should I track?
Track whichever unit matches your market. If you buy from COMEX-linked dealers in the US/UK, the troy ounce price is most relevant. If you buy jewelry or small bars in India, Turkey, or Southeast Asia, the per-gram price is more practical. Both prices reflect the same underlying spot market — one troy ounce always equals exactly 31.1035 grams.
Is buying gold by the gram worth it?
Buying gold in small gram quantities (1g, 5g, 10g bars) is a great way to start accumulating gold on a budget, but premiums are higher on smaller bars — a 1g bar may carry a 10-15% premium vs 1-3% for a 1 oz bar. For cost efficiency, buy the largest bar or coin you can comfortably afford. Gram bars are best as gifts or for dollar-cost averaging in small increments.
