How the Gold Karat Calculator Works

Gold’s purity is measured in karats, with 24K representing pure gold. Lower karats indicate gold mixed with other metals. The calculator uses a simple formula:

Purity (%) = (Karat ÷ 24) × 100
Value = Weight × (Price per Gram for 24K × Purity Fraction)

By automating these calculations, the tool eliminates the risk of human error and saves you valuable time.

Example: Calculating the Value of 18K Gold

Let’s say you have a gold bracelet that weighs 25 grams, is 18K gold, and the current price of 24K gold is $65 per gram.

  • Step 1: Weight = 25g
  • Step 2: Karat = 18
  • Step 3: Price per Gram (24K) = $65

Purity Calculation:
(18 ÷ 24) × 100 = 75% purity

Value Calculation:
25 × (65 × 0.75) = $1,218.75

Result:

  • Purity: 75%
  • Total Value: $1,218.75
