Gold in KES — FAQs
How is the gold price in KES calculated?
We take the live international spot price of gold (XAU/USD), convert it into KES using the current exchange rate, then apply the purity factor and target weight unit.
How often does the KES gold price update?
Spot gold updates continuously during market hours; our snapshot refreshes every minute. FX rates against USD refresh at the same cadence, so KES prices are effectively live.
Does the KES price include tax or making charges?
No. We publish the pure spot value in KES. Local retail prices add VAT/GST, import duty, dealer premium and — for jewellery — making charges on top of this figure.
