Gold Karat Conversion Table Generator

Generate a custom reference table linking karat to fineness and purity. Add the ranges you need instead of relying on a fixed table.

Karat to Fineness Formula

Purity % = Karat ÷ 24 × 100

Fineness ‰ = Karat ÷ 24 × 1000

Fine-Gold Fraction = Karat ÷ 24

The table uses the mathematical 24-part karat convention. Actual legal marking standards can vary by jurisdiction, so the generated values are a conversion reference rather than a hallmarking determination.

Why Karat and Fineness Are Both Useful

Karat is intuitive in jewellery markets, while fineness expresses the same gold fraction on a 1,000-parts scale. Using both avoids ambiguity when comparing specifications.

24K is the mathematical upper endpoint of the karat scale; physical products can use stated fineness specifications such as 999, 999.9 or other standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 18K equal 750 fineness?

18 divided by 24 equals 0.75, which is 750 parts per thousand.

Can I generate half-karat values?

Yes. Use an increment such as 0.5.

Is this a hallmark lookup?

No. It is a mathematical conversion generator.
