14K Gold Calculator
Find out what your 14K gold is worth using live market prices. 14K is the most common jewelry gold in the US — enter your item's weight for an instant value in USD.
How the 14K Gold Calculator Works
14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold (marked 14K or 585), mixed with alloys like copper and silver for durability. Because it's harder and more affordable than higher karats, 14K is the most popular choice for everyday rings, chains, and bracelets in the United States.
This calculator multiplies your item's weight by 0.583 (the 14K purity factor) and the live gold spot price to estimate its melt value. It updates every minute with real market data.
The result is the value of the pure gold your piece contains. Actual buyer offers are typically 60–85% of this, since dealers deduct a margin for refining and profit.
