Gold Price FAQ
How is the gold price per gram calculated in Saudi Arabia?
Gram price = (global ounce price in USD ÷ 31.1035) × the riyal exchange rate × (karat ÷ 24). For example, the 21K gram price equals the pure gram price multiplied by 21/24.
Do the displayed prices include making charges and VAT?
No. These are raw gold prices from the global market. Shops add a making charge (typically 8–100 SAR per gram depending on the piece) plus 15% VAT on the total.
Which karat is best to buy in Saudi Arabia?
21K is the most traded karat for jewelry in the Saudi market, while 24K bars are the usual choice for investment because investment bullion of 99%+ purity is VAT-exempt.
How often are prices updated on this site?
Prices are fetched automatically from global gold markets every 5 minutes; the last-update time is shown above the price table.
Is the gold price the same in all Saudi cities?
Yes. Raw gold prices are identical across cities because they track the global price and the riyal's dollar peg; only making charges differ between shops.
