Frequently asked questions
How often does the price update?
The spot prices on this page refresh every 60 seconds while the page is open, sourced from live public market feeds. The gold and silver markets trade nearly 24 hours a day, Sunday evening through Friday afternoon (New York time).
Is this the price I'll get when I sell?
No. Spot is the wholesale benchmark for pure gold. When you sell jewelry or scrap, a dealer pays a percentage of the melt value — commonly 70–90% depending on the item and buyer. Use the calculator above to estimate melt value first.
