Gold Calculator UAE
Calculate the AED value of your gold by weight and karat.
How is gold value calculated?
Metal value = weight (grams) × current AED/gram price for the selected karat. Making charges (manufacturing fee) are added on top of metal value and vary by jeweller — typically 5–15% for machine-made and 15–25% for handmade pieces. Resale value is estimated at ~92% of metal value, reflecting the typical buyback rate at UAE gold shops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate the value of gold in UAE?+
Multiply the weight in grams by the current AED/gram price for your karat. For example, 10g of 22K gold × the 22K price per gram = metal value. Add making charges (typically 5–25%) for jewellery total cost.
What making charges should I expect for gold jewellery in Dubai?+
Making charges in Dubai typically range from 5–15% of metal value for machine-made pieces and 15–25% for handmade jewellery. Some jewellers quote a flat AED per gram instead of a percentage.
What is the resale value of gold in UAE?+
When selling gold back to UAE dealers, expect approximately 90–95% of the current metal value. This calculator uses 92% as an estimate. Selling to the Dubai Gold Souk often yields better rates than retail jewellers.
Which karat is best for investment in UAE?+
24K gold is best for investment as it is pure (99.9%) and commands the full spot price. 22K is popular for jewellery with a good balance of purity and durability. 18K and 21K are better for fashion jewellery but have lower resale value relative to the retail price.
