The gold calculator gives a close estimate based on the weight, purity, and live gold rate you enter. It is meant for planning, not as a final quote — the exact value depends on a verified purity test and net weight measured on certified equipment. For a precise figure, book a professional assessment.

Gold Calculator – Estimate the Value of Your Gold
Wondering how much your gold is worth? Enter the weight and purity of your gold against the live gold rate and this gold value calculator gives you an instant estimate — for jewellery, coins, and old gold alike.
A gold calculator estimates value from four things: the weight of your gold in grams, its purity (22K, 24K, or 18K), the current gold rate, and the resulting estimated value. Adjust the inputs below to see how each one changes your estimate.

How the Gold Calculator Works
The gold calculator follows one simple formula: Net Weight × Purity % × Current Gold Rate = Estimated Value. Each input plays a role:
- ✓ Weight: The gross weight of your item in grams. Subtract stones and non-gold parts to get the net gold weight.
- ✓ Purity: The karat — 24K (99.9%), 22K (91.6%), or 18K (75%). Higher purity means more pure gold per gram.
- ✓ Current gold rate: The live market rate, pulled automatically so your estimate reflects today’s price.
- ✓ Estimated value: The result: what the gold content of your item is approximately worth right now.
Estimate the Value of Old Gold Jewellery
This old gold value calculator works for every kind of ornament. Age, design, or a missing bill make no difference — only purity and net weight determine the gold value. Common items people estimate:
- ✓ Rings: Plain bands, signet rings, and stone-set rings — deduct the stone weight for a gold-only estimate.
- ✓ Chains: Simple, rope, and figaro chains; old mangalsutra and bridal chains.
- ✓ Bangles: Kada, bala, pola, and traditional Bengali bangles — even bent or broken pieces.
- ✓ Earrings: Jhumkas, chandbali, studs, and hoops; remove stones for net gold weight.
- ✓ Necklaces: Layered sets, temple necklaces, and antique pieces valued on gold content.
How Gold Purity Affects Value
Purity is the single biggest factor in your estimate. The same weight of gold is worth more at higher purity:
What Impacts Gold Selling Value
Beyond the calculator estimate, a few real-world factors decide your final selling value:
- ✓ Current gold rate: The live market rate at the moment of sale — it moves through the day.
- ✓ Purity: Verified karat from a non-destructive test, which may differ from a faded hallmark.
- ✓ Weight: Exact net weight on certified scales, after stone deduction.
- ✓ Stones: Gemstones and diamonds are not gold — their weight is removed before valuation.
- ✓ Non-gold components: Enamel, beads, thread, and clasps are deducted so only gold is paid for.
Gold Calculator vs Professional Assessment
Think of the two as different stages. The calculator gives an estimate — fast, free, and useful for planning before you sell. A professional assessment gives the final valuation — your item’s purity is verified on certified equipment, net weight is measured precisely, and the live rate is applied to produce the exact payout.
Use the calculator first to set expectations, then book an assessment to confirm the real figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The gold calculator works for any old gold jewellery — rings, chains, bangles, earrings, and necklaces. Enter the gross weight and select the purity (22K, 24K, or 18K). Subtract the weight of any stones or non-gold parts to estimate the value of the actual gold content.
No. The calculator values gold content only. Stones, beads, enamel, and other non-gold components are deducted from the gross weight — enter the non-gold weight separately so only the net gold weight is valued. Diamonds and gemstones are assessed separately during a professional valuation.
The calculator pulls the live gold rate automatically so your estimate reflects the current market price. You can also check the full live breakdown on our gold rate page, which shows the 24K and 22K rate per gram and per 10 gram with a last-updated timestamp.
The calculator uses the figures you type in. The final valuation uses your item’s lab-verified purity, its exact net weight on certified scales, the live rate at the moment of sale, and a transparent service margin. Small differences in purity or weight change the result — the calculator is an estimate, the assessment is the final figure.
It multiplies your net gold weight by the purity percentage and the live gold rate to estimate value: Net Weight × Purity % × Live Gold Rate. For example, 10g of 22K gold is valued on 9.16g of pure gold content against the current 24K rate.
916 is another name for 22K gold — it means 91.6% pure gold. If your jewellery is hallmarked "916", select 22K in the calculator. Similarly, 999 corresponds to 24K (99.9%) and 750 corresponds to 18K (75%).
Enter 10 grams and select 22K in the calculator above to see the current estimate against the live rate. Because 22K is 91.6% pure, 10 grams contains about 9.16 grams of pure gold, which is valued at today’s gold rate.
Yes, the Auriksha gold calculator is completely free and requires no sign-up. Use it as many times as you like to estimate the value of different items before deciding to sell.
No bill is needed to use the calculator. To sell, Auriksha verifies purity on the spot — no purchase receipt or hallmark certificate is required. The calculator helps you estimate value beforehand so you walk in informed.
