How this is calculated
1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g. This is the unit the spot market itself quotes, so no conversion is applied. Gold trades per troy ounce, so every figure here starts from that quote and is converted with the factor shown next to the result.
This is the spot-derived value, not the shop counter price in Kenya. Local retail rates are set by the jewellers' association and usually sit above this figure once making charges and duty are added.

Common questions
How much is 1 troy ounce of gold worth today?
1 troy ounce is worth about KES 526,527, from a spot price of KES 526,527 per troy ounce.
How many grams are in 1 troy ounce?
1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g. This is the unit the spot market itself quotes, so no conversion is applied.
How do I price gold at a lower purity?
Pick the purity in the calculator above, or open that grade's own page. Pure gold is KES 16,928 per gram right now, and every other grade is that figure times its fineness — the table on this page prices each one.
Is this the same as the gold rate quoted in Kenya?

How often does this price update?
Every 15 minutes. The figure on this page is a cached quote and can be up to 15 minutes behind the market, and the timestamp above it always states when the price was actually taken. For real-time rates, request the same data from the CommodityPriceAPI directly.
