GoldPrice.com tracks the live gold price in US dollars per troy ounce, refreshed every 60 seconds from institutional market feeds. The headline figure is the spot price — the wholesale price for immediate delivery of a 400 oz London Good Delivery bar — which every dealer, refiner and jeweler works from.
Retail prices differ from spot in both directions: dealers sell coins and bars at a premium above it and buy back slightly below it, and scrap buyers pay a percentage of the melt value derived from it. The per-gram and karat tables below translate spot into the numbers you actually meet in a shop or a refinery.
Every figure on this page is timestamped and attributed. Spot and per-unit prices come from Metals.dev, dealer bid and ask from Texas Precious Metals, and history from daily LBMA fixes back to 1968.
Our gold price history and interactive charts draw on daily LBMA closing prices back to 1968 for gold and silver, and to 1990 for platinum and palladium. Compare today’s price with the all-time high, zoom from one month to the full series, or see what a past purchase is worth with the investment growth calculator.
The scrap gold calculator gives melt value by karat and weight; the coin and bar calculator values Eagles, Maple Leafs and bars by fine content; the portfolio calculator tracks everything you hold at live spot. All eleven tools use the same prices shown on this page.
The live spot price is shown at the top of this page in US dollars per troy ounce, with its change since the last LBMA PM fix and the time it was last updated. It refreshes about once a minute during market hours.
Divide the spot price per troy ounce by 31.1035. The per-gram table on this page does that live, and the karat table adjusts it for 22K, 18K, 14K and 10K purity.
Spot is a wholesale reference. Dealers add a premium when they sell (covering minting, shipping and margin) and deduct a discount when they buy back. Scrap buyers typically pay 85–95% of melt value.
Real interest rates and the US dollar most of all, then central-bank buying, inflation expectations, geopolitical risk and investment flows into ETFs. Jewelry and industrial demand set a floor over the long run.
The record close is shown beneath the live price with its date, and the history pages and charts let you see how far the current price sits from it.
