Why shops in Kenya charge more

Jewellers quote per gram by karat, with a margin over the converted world price.

This page shows what the gold itself is worth at the world price. A shop, bank or mint adds its spread, the cost of making the bar or jewellery, and any import duty or tax, so the price you pay is higher and the price you get when you sell is lower.

FAQ

How much is 1 gram of gold in KES today?

At the world price, 1 gram of 24K gold is worth 16,906 KES right now. The figure updates with the live gold price; shop prices in Kenya are higher because they include a premium and taxes.

How is this price calculated?

We take the live spot price of one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold in US dollars, divide by 31.1035 to get the price per gram, multiply by the weight and purity, then convert to KES at today’s exchange rate.

How many grams are in 1 gram?

1 gram is 1 grams.

Is this the price I will get when I sell gold?

No. Buyers pay less than the world price to cover their spread and refining costs, and jewellery is usually bought back by weight of pure gold only, not the making charge.
