What is my gold worth today?
Short answer: multiply the payable weight in grams by FairGold’s current per-gram rate for its karat. Gold is paid by tier on the total gold weight you bring in: 50 g or more earns the highest rate, then 25 to 50 g, then under 25 g. Today, 14K gold pays $93.92 per gram at 50 g or more and $90.17 per gram under 25 g.

Estimate your items
Enter karat and grams
Pick each item’s metal and karat and enter its weight in grams. Not sure of the karat? Check the stamp: 417 = 10K, 585 = 14K, 750 = 18K, 916 = 22K. Add every gold item you plan to bring, because the tier is set by the total.
Enter a weight to see your estimate.
This is an estimate from today’s posted rates, not an offer. The amount you are paid is set at the counter after free XRF testing and weighing of the payable metal, in front of you. Stones, steel parts and other non-precious components are not paid as gold or silver.
Worked examples
What common items pay today
Each figure below is calculated from the current rates in the table further down, and updates with them.
A broken 18K ring and earrings, 8 g
Under 25 g: 8 × the 18K rate.
$945.52A mixed bag: 20 g of 10K and 18 g of 14K
38 g of gold in total, so both karats move up to the 25–50 g rate.
$2,928.5660 g of 14K jewellery
50 g or more, so the whole lot is paid at the highest 14K rate.
$5,635.20A sterling silver flatware set, 450 g
450 g of 925 sterling silverware at the per-gram silverware rate. Knife blades and fillers are weighed out.

What counts
What the estimate includes, and what it doesn’t
Only the precious metal is paid
Stones, enamel, steel or magnetic clasps and watch movements are removed or deducted. Gold clasps, solder and jump rings count as gold.
You are paid at the measured purity
XRF testing reads the actual alloy. A piece that tests at 17.1K is paid at 17.1K, not rounded down to 14K.
The tier uses your total gold weight
All gold you bring in one visit is added together, so a few extra grams can move everything to a better rate.
Some items are worth more elsewhere
Signed designer jewellery, rare or graded coins and collector watches can be worth more through a specialist. We will tell you.
Calculator questions
How accurate is this gold calculator?
It uses the same per-gram rates FairGold pays at the counter, so if your weight and karat are right the estimate is close. The final amount depends on the payable weight after stones and non-gold parts are excluded, and on the purity measured by XRF testing in front of you.
Why does the rate depend on how much gold I bring?
Gold is paid by volume tier on the total gold weight of your visit: 50 g or more earns the highest rate, 25 to 50 g the middle rate, and under 25 g the standard rate. Combining items into one visit can raise the rate on all of them.
How often are the calculator rates updated?
The rates are updated every 30 minutes from 9 AM to 5 PM (Montreal time) on market days. The time of the latest update is shown above the rate tables. Outside those hours the most recent rates stay posted.
Do I need to know the karat of my gold?
No. Use the stamp if there is one (417 = 10K, 585 = 14K, 750 = 18K, 916 = 22K). If there is no stamp, pick your best guess for an estimate; XRF testing in store measures the real purity for free.
Is the calculator result a guaranteed offer?
No. It is an estimate from today’s posted rates. Your offer is confirmed in store after free testing and weighing, with no obligation to sell. FairGold also matches or beats a written offer from a registered Montreal gold buyer on gold jewellery.
