Gold in the United States is quoted in US dollars and tracks the international spot price directly, since the global benchmark itself is priced in USD.
Below you’ll find the live US gold price broken down by karat and by weight — per gram, per ounce, and per kilo — so you can value anything from a coin to a bar.
Gold is priced nationally, so the United States rate shown above applies across all major cities — including:
The US has no mandatory hallmarking law, but reputable gold is stamped with its karat — 14K, 18K, or 24K. Sales tax on gold varies by state: many states exempt investment-grade bullion while still taxing jewelry, so the final price depends on where you buy. Bullion investors favour American Eagle and Buffalo coins and minted bars.
US jewelry skews toward 14K and 18K for durability, while investors hold 24K coins and bars. Jewelry is usually quoted per gram, whereas bullion is quoted per troy ounce — the same international benchmark this page converts into dollars.
It follows the international spot price, which is already quoted in US dollars per troy ounce, plus any dealer premium.
14K and 18K are the most common for jewelry in the United States, while bullion is typically 24K.
Retail prices add a premium for fabrication, shipping, and margin, so they sit above the spot price listed here.
The live gold rate in United States is shown above in USD, with 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K prices per gram and local units, refreshed through the trading day.
It is the international spot price (US dollars per troy ounce) converted into USD at the live exchange rate, then divided by weight and adjusted for karat purity.
Two forces move it: the global gold price and the USD exchange rate. On top of that benchmark, jewelers add making charges and any local taxes or duties.
