How is the gold spot price calculated?

The spot price comes from international markets tracked by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Our tool fetches live prices and converts them to USD, SAR (pegged at 3.75), and EGP (live rate). Per-gram prices use the formula: spot ÷ 31.1035 × 3.75 × (karat ÷ 24).

What is a craftsmanship (making) charge?

The making charge is the dealer's fee above the raw gold value. It covers labor, design, marketing, and profit. Our calculator compares the dealer's total price to the raw gold value to determine how much you're paying per gram in making charges — then tells you if it's competitive ( $110/g).

Why do imported pieces cost more?

Imported gold jewelry incurs additional import duties/taxes. Our calculator applies a 1.46× multiplier on the expected making charge for imported pieces. Small items under 3g get a 1.3× multiplier (higher labor per gram), and items under 10g get a 1.15× multiplier.

What's the difference between 24K, 22K, 21K, and 18K?

24K is 99.9% pure gold — soft, not ideal for jewelry. 22K (91.7%) is common for coins and bars. 21K (87.5%) is popular in Gulf jewelry. 18K (75%) is standard worldwide for fine jewelry — harder and more durable. Lower karats mean less gold and more alloy metals.

How to calculate gold Zakat?

Gold Zakat is 2.5% of the market value of gold you own (if it exceeds the Nisab threshold — ~85g of 24K gold). Our Zakat calculator helps: enter your gold weight and karat, and it shows the Zakat due. Zakat is payable on gold jewelry, coins, and bars you own for investment or savings.

What affects gold prices daily?

Gold prices move with: US dollar strength (inverse correlation), interest rates (lower rates = higher gold), inflation expectations, geopolitical tensions, central bank buying/selling, and jewelry demand during wedding seasons. Our chart shows 30-day trends to help spot patterns.
