Calculator

Gold Karat Price Calculator

Calculate the value of 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, or any karat from 1K to 24K using today's Nepal gold rate or a rate you enter yourself.

How the karat formula works

Karat measures how many parts of a 24-part alloy are gold. A 22K ornament is 22 parts gold and 2 parts alloy, so its metal value is calculated as the 24K rate multiplied by 22/24 before weight is applied.

The price field is treated as the 24K rate per tola in the selected currency.

Gold purity

What does karat measure?

Karat is the purity scale used for gold. The scale runs from 1K to 24K, where 24K is fine gold and lower karats contain more alloy metals such as copper, silver, zinc, or nickel. Alloy is not automatically bad. It makes jewellery harder, changes the color, and helps ornaments survive daily wear.

Use this calculator when a shop quotes the 24K benchmark but your jewellery is 22K, 18K, 14K, or another purity. It converts the rate by purity, converts the selected weight unit into tola, and gives a quick metal-value estimate before making charge, jarti, stones, taxes, or shop margin are added.

FAQ

Gold karat questions

Short answers for buyers comparing 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, and lower-karat gold before checking a jewellery bill.

Karat measures gold purity on a 24-part scale. 24K is fine gold, 22K is 22 parts gold and 2 parts alloy, 18K is 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloy, and 14K is 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy.

24K gold is treated as fine gold and is usually listed as 99.9% pure in bullion markets. It is valuable but soft, which is why everyday jewellery often uses 22K, 18K, or 14K instead.

Multiply the 24K rate by 22/24. For example, if fine gold is NPR 100,000 per tola, the estimated 22K metal value is NPR 91,667 per tola before making charge, tax, and shop margin.

18K gold contains 75% gold and 25% alloy. It is popular for rings, diamond settings, and everyday jewellery because it balances gold content with better hardness than 22K or 24K.

Yes. 14K gold is real gold alloy with 58.33% gold content. It has less gold than 18K or 22K, but it is harder and common in markets where durability and lower upfront cost matter.

22K is common for traditional Nepal jewellery because it keeps a rich yellow color and high gold content. 18K can be better for stone settings and daily wear. 24K is usually better for coins and bars than ornaments.

A proper hallmark or purity stamp should identify the gold fineness, such as 916 for 22K, 750 for 18K, and 585 for 14K. Ask the seller to explain every mark on the item and keep the bill.

Karat uses a 24-part scale, while fineness uses parts per thousand. 22K is about 916 fineness, 18K is 750, and 14K is about 585. Both describe the same purity idea in different formats.

Lower karat usually has lower metal value because it contains less gold. Resale also depends on hallmark proof, current market rate, deductions, making charge policy, and whether stones or non-gold parts are included in the gross weight.

Karat does not change the physical weight shown on a scale. It changes how much of that weight is gold. A 10 gram 22K chain still weighs 10 grams, but only 91.67% of that weight is gold content.

Start with the fine gold rate per tola, multiply by karat divided by 24, then multiply by the weight in tola. This calculator converts gram, lal, ana, ounce, and other units into tola before estimating the value.

The calculator estimates metal value only. A shop bill may add making charge, jarti or wastage, stones, polishing, VAT or local tax treatment, and seller margin. Compare the metal line first, then review each extra line separately.

Yes. Choose your currency and enter the 24K price per tola in that currency. The calculator does not convert foreign exchange automatically; it applies the same purity and weight formula to the rate you enter.
