About this tool

Gold price today in Canada, and what it means for the gold you own

Fair Gold Price shows the live gold price in Canadian dollars and turns it into a dollar value for the ring, chain, coin or bar in your hand.

What is the gold price today in Canada?

The gold price today is — per troy ounce in Canadian dollars. That is— per gram. The 1 kg gold price is—.

This is the gold spot price: the price of pure 24K gold, right now. It is the same in every province.

How we get the price in Canadian dollars

Gold trades in US dollars. We take the live US-dollar spot price and multiply it by the Bank of Canada’s latest daily US-dollar exchange rate. The rate and its date are shown next to the price.

The Bank of Canada sets that rate once each business day. So the gold price here moves every minute, and the exchange rate moves once a day. A dealer’s own Canadian price can differ a little. If either number is missing, you see a dash, never a guess.

Gold price per gram for 10K, 14K and 18K

Most jewellery is not pure gold. Karat tells you how much gold is in it, out of 24 parts.

  • 10K is 41.7% gold: — per gram
  • 14K is 58.3% gold: — per gram
  • 18K is 75% gold: — per gram
  • 22K is 91.7% gold: — per gram
  • 24K is pure gold: — per gram

Some pieces have a number stamp instead. 417 means 10K, 585 means 14K and 750 means 18K. Seepurity and hallmarks for the full list.

How the scrap gold calculator works

  1. Choose gold or silver.
  2. Choose what is stamped on it.
  3. Type the weight, in grams if you can.

It multiplies the weight by the purity by the live price. The answer is the melt value: what the metal inside your item is worth today. You can see each step of the math. The calculator is free and needs no account. We do not buy gold.

What a buyer really pays

A shop pays less than the melt value. It has to test the gold, melt or resell it, and make a profit. Buyers usually pay 60% to 85% of melt value. Do you have an offer already? Type it into the calculator to see how it compares.

Sales tax when you buy gold in Canada

Jewellery is taxed like most other goods: GST or HST, plus provincial sales tax in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec. Switch the calculator to “I’m buying”, choose your province or type your postal code, and it adds the tax.

Investment bullion is different. Bars, ingots, wafers and coins of gold or platinum at least 99.5% pure, or silver at least 99.9% pure, carry no GST/HST. A 14K or 22K item does not qualify.How tax works when you buy or sell.

Before you sell

  • Weigh your gold yourself first.
  • Get the offer in writing.
  • Compare at least two buyers.

Melt value is an estimate. It is not an offer or an appraisal. Old coins and antique jewellery can be worth more than the gold in them, so ask a specialist before you sell those for scrap.

What are the gold and silver prices today?

Both are live on our home page. You can see them side by side, per ounce and per gram, in Canadian dollars. Both update every minute.

Spot price, karats and history

What is the spot gold price today?

It is the price of pure gold right now. It is the same as the gold price today, and it changes all day. A shop’s screen may show a slightly different number.

What is the 24K gold price today?

24K is pure gold, so it is the same as the spot price. Gold bars and Gold Maple Leaf coins are 24K. Most jewellery is not, so it is worth less per gram.

What is the 10K or 14K gold price today?

10K is 41.7% gold. 14K is 58.3% gold. These are the most common karats in Canadian jewellery. Our gold price table shows the live price per gram for each.

Where can I see gold price history in Canadian dollars?

On our gold price history page. It lists the gold price in Canadian dollars for every month and year since 1960, with a chart. Find it under Prices in the menu.

What is a troy ounce?

It is the special ounce used for gold and silver. It weighs 31.1 grams. A kitchen ounce weighs 28.35 grams. Our calculator does the math for you.

How do I find out what my gold is worth?

Use our calculator. Enter the weight in grams and the karat stamped on your item, like 10K or 14K. It shows what the gold inside is worth today.

Selling your gold

Why does a shop offer less than the gold price?

Shops have costs, so they pay a little less. A small gap is normal. A big gap is a warning sign, so ask a second shop.

Do you list or check gold buyers in Canada?

We list them and check city licences where we can. Each province page lists pawn shops, coin shops and gold buyers with a name, a street address and a phone number. In Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and four smaller British Columbia cities we match shops to the city’s licence register. Being listed is not a recommendation, so run the six checks on our “How to check a buyer” page before you sell.

Are there any hidden fees?

Some shops charge a fee to test your item. Ask “Is there any fee?” before you hand anything over. Ask them to write the offer down.

ID, taxes and staying safe

Do I need to show ID to sell gold?

Usually, yes. Many cities require pawn shops and gold buyers to record your photo ID and keep a record of the sale. Bring a driver’s licence or passport.

Do I pay GST or HST when I sell my gold?

No. You do not charge sales tax on your own items. Sales tax is paid when you buy. Jewellery is taxed. Investment bars and coins that are pure enough are not.

Will I owe income tax when I sell?

Usually not for old jewellery sold for less than you paid. If you sell for more than you paid, half of the profit can be taxed. A sale of jewellery or coins for $1,000 or less usually leaves nothing to report. This is not tax advice.

How can I stay safe when I sell?

Go to a real shop and never feel rushed. Bring a friend if you can. You can always say “no, thank you” and walk out.
