Pure-gold value in 1 gram of alloy
Live calculation: market price of a pure gram × 58.50%. This is metal value — neither a retail price nor a buy-back quote.
About this fineness
The alloy is hard and wear-resistant, but just over half of it is gold — which is what matters when scrapping. Pawnshops pay the pure-content value minus a discount, while retailers charge for craft and brand on top — hence the wide gap between buying and selling '14K gold price'.

Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 gram of 14K gold today?
The pure-gold content of 1 gram of 14K alloy is worth about $75.67 (58.50% of the per-gram market price). Retail sells above this value; buy-back pays below it.
Why do pawnshops pay less?
Buy-back values only the pure gold (58.5% of the item's weight) minus a refining/risk discount. Craftsmanship, brand and stones do not count in scrap pricing.
How does 585 fineness map to karats?
585 fine equals 14K: one karat is a 1/24 share of gold, so karats = fineness × 24 ÷ 1000.
