What is the gold price per troy ounce today?
Gold is about $4,054 per troy ounce (26 July 2026), which converts to roughly €3,562 at an exchange rate of €1 = $1.1379. That's the spot price — the raw metal value before any dealer premium. Gold trades nearly 24 hours a day, so treat any published figure as a snapshot and check a live price before buying.

What is a troy ounce, and how is it different from a normal ounce?
A troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams; the everyday avoirdupois ounce is 28.349523 grams. The troy ounce is therefore about 9.7% heavier. Precious metals have been weighed in troy ounces for centuries, and every gold quote you see uses them — so comparing a gold price to a kitchen-scale ounce will always be wrong by roughly a tenth.
| Troy ounce | Avoirdupois (normal) ounce | |

| Used for | Gold, silver, platinum | Food, general goods |
| Per pound | 12 troy oz per troy pound | 16 oz per pound |

How do you convert the gold price between units?
Two constants do everything. 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams and 1 kilo = 32.1507 troy ounces. From the spot price per ounce:
- Per gram = spot ÷ 31.1035
- Per kilo = spot × 32.1507
- Per any weight in grams = (grams ÷ 31.1035) × spot
- In euros = the USD figure ÷ the EUR/USD rate (÷ 1.1379 today)
Why is the euro gold price not just a fixed conversion?
Because it has two moving parts. Gold is priced internationally in US dollars, so the euro price depends on both the dollar gold price and the EUR/USD exchange rate. A stronger euro lowers the euro price of gold even if the dollar price hasn't moved; a stronger dollar raises it. That's why a euro figure is only valid for the rate and moment it was calculated — always note the rate used.
What drives the gold price in 2026?
Gold broke above $4,000 in late 2025 and has traded in the $4,000–4,200 range through mid-2026, held up by three structural forces:
- Central-bank buying. Central banks have bought over 1,000 tonnes for three consecutive years, creating a demand floor — see our central banks and gold analysis.
- Real interest rates. When inflation runs above bond yields, non-yielding gold becomes relatively more attractive.
- Currency and geopolitical hedging. Gold remains the classic hedge against debasement and systemic risk.
- For where this may go, see our gold price forecast.
Why is the price you pay higher than spot?
Spot is the raw metal value; a physical coin or bar also carries a premium over spot covering refining, minting, insurance and the dealer's margin. It scales inversely with size: roughly 3–5% on a one-ounce coin, 2–4% on a 100 g bar, and 1–2% on a kilo bar. Our gold bars guide breaks this down by size, and you can always see live pricing on the live prices page.
