How this value is calculated

The spot price is quoted per troy ounce. Dividing by 31.1035 gives US$125.33 per gram of pure gold; multiplying by 50 g gives the value of 50 grams of fine gold. For jewellery, the value is then scaled by purity — 75% for 18k, 58.5% for 14k, 37.5% for 9k.

At 50 grams, you are in bullion territory. Bars and coins from accredited refiners usually sell for spot plus 2–5%, and dealers buy them back at close to spot, so the round-trip cost is small. Investment gold is VAT-free in the EU and UK. Use the scrap gold calculator for your exact weight.
