How It Works
This page shows the live gold price per gram in the USA in US dollars (USD), converted from the international LBMA benchmark and adjusted for approximate local duties and taxes. US gold is usually quoted per troy ounce on international markets, so this page converts it to grams for easy comparison with other countries.
Grams versus troy ounces
International gold is quoted in troy ounces, where one troy ounce is about 31.1 grams. This page shows prices per gram, so you can compare directly with the other country pages without converting units yourself.
Why sales tax and making charges vary
US sales tax varies by state, and jewelry sellers add making charges that depend on design and retailer. Bullion dealers usually charge much smaller premiums over spot than jewelry shops do.
Examples
Pricing a 10g 22K chain
If the 22K base rate shown above is $75/gram, 10 grams is 10 × 75 = $750 in gold value, before making charges and sales tax.
Converting an ounce
At $75/gram, one troy ounce (about 31.1 grams) is roughly $2,330 in 24K-equivalent gold value.
Common Use Cases
- Checking today's per-gram gold price in USD before buying jewelry or bullion
- Comparing a New York Diamond District quote with an online bullion dealer
- Converting between grams and troy ounces for investment tracking
- Estimating the value of gold jewelry before selling or trading in
Tips
- Compare the premium over spot on bullion bars and coins, since that's the cost difference that matters most for investment gold.
- Ask a jeweller to separate the gold value, stone value, and making charge on any receipt.
