Gold Selling Rate Today by Purity: How Karats Affect Your Price

Suppose you’re comparing the payout for 10 grams of gold across different karats, and today’s 24K live rate is ₹7,000 per gram (illustrative – see widget for actual). Here’s the rough payout difference:

10g of 24K gold – 10 × 0.999 × ₹7,000 = approximately ₹69,930. The selling price of 24 carat gold is the highest per gram because it’s purest.
10g of 22K gold (916) – 10 × 0.916 × ₹7,000 = approximately ₹64,120. The selling price of 22 carat gold is lower per gram simply because there’s less actual gold in the alloy.
10g of 18K gold – 10 × 0.750 × ₹7,000 = approximately ₹52,500. The 18 carat gold selling price is lowest among common Indian jewellery purities.
10g of 14K gold – 10 × 0.583 × ₹7,000 = approximately ₹40,810. Common in international or fashion jewellery.

The actual payout depends on today’s live rate and any applicable wastage/soldering deductions for jewellery (typically 1–3%). Bullion (coins and bars) usually has no deductions.

Sell 22K Gold and 916 Hallmarked Gold

The most common Indian jewellery purity. To sell 22 carat gold, sell 22k gold pieces, or sell 22k gold jewelry, the formula is weight × 0.916 × live rate, minus 1–3% wastage for jewellery.

To sell 22 carat gold jewellery specifically, stones are removed and returned to you before weighing. Hallmark gold selling rate is unaffected by the stamp itself; the rate depends purely on actual gold content.
