Buy & Sell Prices
Raw price vs shop price?
The raw price is the market gold gram price converted to SAR. It does not include workmanship, Saudi VAT, or shop margin.
The price you pay at a shop is higher because it includes workmanship, VAT, and operating margin. The price a shop pays for used gold is usually below the raw market price.
The figures below are calculated market averages: buying adds 18% above raw price, while selling to a shop deducts 1% below spot. Final prices vary by city, shop, and item type.
| Karat | Buy Price You pay when buying | Sell Price You receive when selling |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 591.42 | 496.19 |
| 22K | 542.13 | 454.84 |

How We Calculate These Prices
We read the 24K gold gram price in Saudi Riyal from a global data provider, then store it in the site database so every page uses one fast, consistent source.
We apply purity ratios for each karat: 24K = 100%, 22K = 91.67%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75%.
Buy prices add 18% above the raw price to cover VAT and average workmanship, while used sell prices deduct 1% as a shop handling margin. Final prices vary by workmanship, shop, and city.
