Gold Karat Converter
Gold is quoted in karats, but buyers and sellers also talk percent and fineness. Convert between all three instantly — 24K, 22K, 18K and everything between — so a jeweller's quote always translates to a number you understand.
How to use
- Enter the purity value you want to convert — for example 22.
- Choose the From unit (karat, percent or fineness) and the To unit — the result updates live.
- Use the Swap button to reverse the direction instantly.
- Scroll down to see the same value converted into every unit at once.
Note: 24K = 100 percent = 999 fineness approximately, 22K = 91.67 percent, 18K = 75 percent.
Tips
- 24K means pure gold (100%), 22K is 91.67% — the most common jewellery purity in Pakistan.
- Jewellers sometimes quote fineness like 916; that is just another way of saying 22K.
- Purity conversion is exact math, but actual jewellery weight includes alloys — ask for the net gold weight.
- For resale value, convert to 24K-equivalent first, then multiply by the market rate.
