Normalize a gold bullion purchase into a meaningful unit cost. This calculator shows gross cost per gram, effective cost per gram after additional expenses and fine-gold cost per gram after purity.
A 100-gram product that is 90% pure contains less fine gold than a 100-gram product that is 99.99% pure. Comparing only gross $/gram can therefore produce a misleading result. Fine-gold cost normalizes the comparison.
The displayed product price is not always the actual acquisition cost. Adding unavoidable expenses reveals what each gram really costs to own.
Divide effective acquisition cost by weight.
