How to read these prices
The selling price is what you pay when you buy from a goldsmith; the buying price is what a goldsmith pays you when you sell, and the gap between them is lost by anyone who buys and sells on the same day. These are raw gram prices: every piece sells above them with a making charge that depends on its kind, and bars and gold pounds carry far lower making charges than jewelry. 21K is the usual karat for jewelry in Egypt, 24K for bars, and 18K is cheaper per gram because only 75% of it is gold.
How to price a piece of gold at today's rate
- Know the weight and the karat: The weight in grams from the scale or the invoice, the karat from the hallmark (24, 21 or 18).
- Multiply the weight by the selling price per gram: From the table above: 10 grams of 21K × 6,256 EGP = 62,559 EGP of raw gold.
- Add the making charge and its VAT: The making charge per gram depends on the piece (bars are far cheaper than jewelry) and carries 14% VAT. The total is roughly the fair price.
Questions asked every day
How much is a gram of 21K gold in Egypt today?
6,256 EGP per gram is the selling price at goldsmiths, and 6,236 EGP the buying price (what a goldsmith pays when you sell), as of 19:30 Cairo time. This is raw gold, before the making charge.
How much is the Egyptian gold pound today?
The gold pound is 8 grams of 21K gold, so about 50,047 EGP at today's gram price; the half pound (4 g) 25,024 EGP and the quarter (2 g) 12,512 EGP, before the small making charge, which differs by shop.
Why is the price at the goldsmith higher than this?
These are raw gram prices. A goldsmith adds a making charge (with 14% VAT on it) and keeps the gap between buying and selling, so the price of a piece depends on its type and the shop.
