What does karat measure?
Karat expresses gold content in 24 parts; this calculator uses that ratio for a metal-value estimate.
Karat expresses gold content in 24 parts. For example, 18K is 18/24, or 75%, while 14K is 14/24, or about 58.33%, by arithmetic. See the World Gold Council's guide to gold jewellery and karat for a general explanation of gold purity.
Choose one of the listed karats, enter a 24K rate, and select a weight and unit. The calculator converts that weight to its per-tola basis and applies the selected karat fraction to the entered rate. If your seller gives the weight in ana or lal, use the weight converter to check it against grams or tola before comparing metal values.
This is an estimate from the values entered. It does not test or certify an item's purity or weight, and it is not a finished jewellery quote. Ask the seller for the item's specifications and an itemized price.
