How do you calculate the karat of gold?
Karat is the unit to measure the purity of gold. You can calculate the percentage of purity of gold dividing the Karat value by 24. See below:
| Karat | Percentage |
| 6 | 25% |
| 8 | 33% |
| 9 | 38% |
| 10 | 42% |
| 12 | 50% |
| 14 | 58% |
| 16 | 67% |
| 18 | 75% |
| 20 | 83% |
| 21 | 88% |
| 22 | 92% |
| 24 | 100% |
After knowing the purity, apply that percentage to the weight and multiply it by the market price of gold.
Example:
| Market Price Gold: $1,800 | Market Price Gold: $1,800 |
| Weight: 1 Ounce | Weight: 1 Ounce |
| Karat: 24 | Karat: 16 |
| Gold Purity Percentage: 100% | Gold Purity Percentage: 67% |
| Value: $1,800 | Value: $1,206 |
