How the gold price in Saudi Arabia is calculated
Saudi gold prices follow the global price of a troy ounce of gold in US dollars. We divide it by 31.1035 (grams per troy ounce) to get the 24K price per gram in dollars, multiply by 3.75 (the riyal's fixed rate to the dollar) and scale by purity for other karats.
SAR per gram (k karat) = ounce price in USD ÷ 31.1035 × 3.75 × (k ÷ 24)The global price comes from Gold API and refreshes about once a minute while the page is open. These are indicative prices, not an offer from any jeweller.
Why is the shop price higher than the listed price?
The listed price is the value of the metal. At a jeweller you also pay a making charge (higher per gram on small pieces), the shop's margin and 15% VAT on jewellery. When you sell, a dealer usually pays for the gold content by weight and karat and does not refund the making charge.
