Estimate your 916 gold value
Gold Value Calculator
This estimate reflects the underlying gold content. Actual dealer offers can differ based on product type, testing, condition, resale demand and dealer margin.
The formula is current pure-gold reference value per gram × 0.916, so a 20g item is 20 × 0.916 × current pure-gold reference. Gold.com.sg uses the exact stamped fineness (0.916), not the approximate 22/24 karat fraction. See how gold value is calculated and the gold pricing methodology in full.
916 vs 22K: are they the same?
Not exactly. 916 means 91.6% gold content. 22K means 22/24, which is approximately 91.67%. They are commonly associated but not mathematically identical. The difference is small but it survives precision: a 916 stamp and a strict 22K calculation can produce a marginally different gold-content figure for the same gross weight.
What does the 916 reference value actually represent?
| Price type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gold.com.sg 916 reference | Estimated underlying gold content |
| Jewellery retailer rate | Retailer-defined selling rate |
| Finished jewellery price | Retail gold / product price including workmanship, design and other applicable components |
| Outright purchase offer | Amount a buyer offers to purchase the item |
| Pawn valuation | Collateral assessment for a loan |
These are distinct price concepts. The 916 reference value is not a jewellery retail price, not a pawn quote and not a guaranteed buy-back offer. Do not treat any of them as interchangeable.
Is 916 gold GST-free?
Not automatically. Singapore exempts qualifying Investment Precious Metals from GST under the IRAS IPM rules. 916 jewellery should not be inferred to qualify as IPM, the IPM criteria apply to qualifying gold bars, ingots and wafers of sufficient purity, not to jewellery. Being 916 does not, by itself, make a product GST-free. See GST and investment-gold treatment.
