How we calculate gold prices in SAR and AED
Gold is priced globally in US dollars per troy ounce (1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams). We convert to riyals and dirhams using the fixed dollar pegs, 1 USD = 3.75 SAR and 1 USD = 3.6725 AED, then multiply the fine-gold price per gram by each karat's purity.
| Karat | Fine gold content | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% | Bars, coins and investment |
| 22K | 91.6% | Jewellery, popular with South Asian buyers |
| 21K | 87.5% | Jewellery in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf |
| 18K | 75% | Gem-set and modern designs |
The formula, with an example
22K price per gram in AED = (USD ounce price ÷ 31.1035) × 3.6725 × 0.916. If gold were USD 2,500 an ounce, 22K would be (2,500 ÷ 31.1035) × 3.6725 × 0.916 ≈ AED 270.4 per gram. The example is illustrative; the table above shows the current price.
Why the jewellery shop price is different
These prices are the value of the gold itself. Jewellers add making charges, their margin and any applicable taxes, so the price you pay in a shop is higher than the spot-based price, and the price you get when selling is usually lower.
Tips before you buy
- Ask for the gold price per gram and the making charge separately.
- Get an invoice showing karat and weight.
- Compare shops on the same day: the global price moves during trading hours.
