View full history →About the Saudi Arabia gold market
KmalServico presents Saudi gold prices in Saudi riyals (SAR), with gram as the configured primary unit. The page separates the international gold benchmark from the local-currency value, which is important when comparing a live reference price with a physical jewellery quotation.

Start with purity and weight before comparing two Saudi quotations. KmalServico’s gram-based table lets you compare supported purities on the same weight basis. A jewellery quotation should not be treated as identical to the spot-derived metal value because the finished item may include additional commercial charges.

The World Gold Council’s Q2 2026 jewellery report says Saudi jewellery demand was supported by Hajj-related tourism, wedding demand and Eid-related buying. That gives the Saudi page a different seasonal context from markets where festivals or harvest cycles are the main reported drivers.
Read the full section on the live price page →Tax & duty notes
Jewellery and its making charges are taxed at Saudi Arabia's standard 15% VAT rate, though investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher can qualify for a 0% VAT rate under specific conditions rather than the standard rate. Zakat is a separate, religious obligation rather than a government tax: 2.5% annually on gold holdings at or above the 85-gram Nisab threshold.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com + xaus.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
