Gold rate in the UK for Thursday, 12 November 2026 — the international gold price converted into British pounds at today's dollar rate, loaded live on every visit. The converted price is the world spot price in pounds; UK dealers sell above spot, and jewellery carries VAT and making charges on top.
Gold rates by weight — 24K and 22K
Every row is worked out from the same converted ounce price, so the table and the card above always agree. 24K is pure gold (99.9%); 22K is 22/24 of the 24K price.
| Weight | 24K (GBP) | 22K (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Per gram | £95.41 | £87.46 |
| Per 10 grams | £954.14 | £874.63 |
| Per troy ounce (31.1035 gram) | £2,967.70 | £2,720.39 |
How this rate is calculated
Gold's world price is set in US dollars per troy ounce. This page takes that live price and converts it at today's live dollar-to-pound rate. The weight conversion is fixed: 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — so the per-gram price is the ounce price ÷ 31.1035.
Why UK shop prices are higher
The figures on this page are the international spot price converted into pounds — the raw metal value. UK dealers sell coins and bars above spot: the premium covers their costs and margin, and it is wider on small pieces. Investment-grade gold is generally free of VAT in the UK, but jewellery carries 20% VAT plus making charges, so a finished piece costs far more per gram than the metal alone. Use this page to track the metal value in pounds, and to see how much of a shop's price is premium and charges.
Gold rate in the UK — common questions
What is the gold rate in the UK today?
For 24K gold, the converted international price is £95.41 per gram (£2,967.70 per troy ounce) — converted live from the world dollar price at today's dollar rate. UK dealer prices are higher because a premium is added over spot.
What is the difference between 24K and 22K gold?
24K is 99.9% pure gold — used for bars and coins. Jewellery is made in lower purities because pure gold is soft: 22K (91.6% pure) is 22/24 of the 24K price — today £87.46 per gram on the converted basis. Much UK jewellery is 9K or 18K, priced at 9/24 or 18/24 of the 24K price before VAT and making charges.
How many grams are in a troy ounce?
1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — the unit the international market trades in, and the unit UK bullion dealers quote alongside the per-gram rate.
Why does the rate change every day?
It moves with two live numbers: the world gold price in dollars and the dollar-to-pound exchange rate. When either moves, the pound price moves with it — this page fetches both on every visit.
