Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How accurate is this gold calculator?
Our calculator uses standard conversion rates and mathematical formulas to provide accurate results. However, actual gold prices fluctuate constantly, so always verify current market rates before making purchases.
What's the difference between 22K and 24K gold?
24K gold is 100% pure but soft and malleable. 22K gold (91.67% pure) is mixed with other metals for durability, making it ideal for jewelry. The price difference reflects the purity percentage.
How do I get current gold prices?
Check reputable financial websites, local jewelers, or precious metals dealers for current gold prices. Prices vary by location, purity, and whether you're buying coins, bars, or jewelry.
What is a tola and where is it used?
A tola is a traditional unit of mass used in South Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Nepal. 1 tola equals 11.6638 grams. It's commonly used for gold trading in these regions.
Should I buy gold by weight or by piece?
For investment purposes, buying by weight (grams/ounces) is more transparent and fair. For jewelry, consider both weight and craftsmanship. Always ask for weight certificates and purity hallmarks.
What additional costs should I consider?
Besides the gold price, consider making charges (for jewelry), taxes, certification fees, and dealer premiums. These can add 10-25% to the base gold price depending on the type of purchase.
How do I verify gold purity?
Look for hallmark stamps indicating karat rating and certification. Reputable dealers provide purity certificates. For expensive purchases, consider third-party testing or buy from certified dealers only.
Can I use this calculator for selling gold?
Yes, but remember that selling prices are typically lower than buying prices. Dealers offer 85-95% of current market rates. Use the calculator to estimate value, but get quotes from multiple dealers.
