Gold Price in Bangladesh Today (BDT)

Live BDT gold values per gram and bhori

The calculation uses gold at $4165.89 per troy ounce and a source conversion of 1 USD = 123.144858 BDT. The table keeps the same quote time and currency basis across all three grades. Values are rounded for display, while the underlying multiplication retains its precision.

Bangladeshi gold rate: spot value is not retail price

A search for the bd gold rate can mean either an international metal-value estimate or the domestic rate used by jewelers. These are related but not interchangeable. The Bangladesh Jeweller's Association, BAJUS, publishes local reference rates through its own price-setting process. This page instead converts the international fine-gold benchmark into taka and adjusts it for gold content. It does not reproduce a current BAJUS rate or claim that a shop will transact at the number shown.

Retail jewelry is a finished product. Its invoice can include making charges, applicable taxes, stones, and other items in addition to the gold component. The exact treatment should be checked against the current publication and the seller's invoice. Do not add an assumed fee or tax rate from an old article and present it as today's official total. An itemized quotation is more useful than a single verbal bhori price when evaluating an actual purchase.

The spot-based reference is still valuable because it makes the metal calculation transparent. It shows what the same quantity and purity of gold is worth before domestic retail terms are applied. A difference between this reference and a shop quote can reflect local market pricing and product costs; it does not, by itself, demonstrate a mistake or an unfair transaction.

Vori, bhori, grams, and matching the unit

In Bangladesh, a bhori is commonly treated as 11.664 grams; vori is another spelling used in price searches and everyday discussion. The page uses that exact conversion consistently. One-half bhori therefore represents 5.832 grams, while two bhori represent 23.328 grams. These are unit conversions, not current market rates. The value of each quantity still depends on the live metal quote, exchange rate, and tested fineness.

Do not substitute a regional tola conversion without checking the convention on the seller's quotation. Similar traditional units can be represented with slightly different rounding in different markets. For a small item, use the actual net gram weight measured on an appropriate scale and then apply the gram rate. If a bill uses bhori, verify its stated gram equivalent so that both parties are using the same basis.

A gross weight can include stones, solder, or non-gold fittings. Ask for gross weight, stone weight, and net alloy weight to be separated where applicable. Multiplying the complete jewelry weight by a 22k gold price assumes every included gram has that fineness, which may not be true. The table is most useful once those physical inputs have been established.

How the BDT calculation is built

The first step is the source gold quote in USD per troy ounce. One troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams, so division gives USD per gram of fine gold. The second step is the live number of BDT per US dollar. Multiplication converts that fine-gold gram value into taka. The final step is the purity factor: 0.916 for the 916 hallmark, 0.875 for 875, or 0.750 for 750.

This site follows hallmark fineness for the labeled jewelry grades. Exact 22-out-of-24 karat arithmetic is slightly different from a 916 hallmark, so the convention is stated rather than hidden. A tested piece with another fineness should be valued using that test result. An identifying stamp is useful information but not a substitute for an authenticity check, particularly with damaged, plated, or unfamiliar items.

After the gram calculation, multiply by 11.664 for one bhori. The order of currency conversion and weight conversion does not change the mathematical result when the same inputs are used. Round the final BDT display rather than repeatedly rounding the ounce quote, exchange rate, gram value, and purity-adjusted amount. That keeps the weight table consistent.

A worked 22k example using today's inputs

At the displayed quote, one gram of fine gold has a converted reference value of ৳16,493.59. Applying 0.916 gives ৳15,108.13 for one gram of 916 gold. Multiplying that result by 11.664 gives ৳176,221.22 for one bhori. A two-bhori lot with the same tested fineness has a calculated melt value of ৳352,442.44, before any buyer deduction.

For an illustrative cash-offer comparison only, a payment equal to 80% of that two-bhori melt value would be ৳281,953.95. A payment equal to 90% would be ৳317,198.20. These percentages are not claimed to be typical Bangladesh offers or BAJUS purchase terms. They demonstrate how to convert a percentage into money and how different terms affect a settlement.

For an actual offer, divide the final net BDT payment by the current melt estimate and multiply by 100. Confirm whether testing or handling deductions are already included. If a piece is valued for resale as jewelry, its non-metal attributes may influence the offer differently. The metal formula does not estimate designer, antique, or gemstone value.

Why local values change and how to compare them

The BDT value can change when international gold changes, when USD/BDT changes, or when both change. A stable dollar gold quote does not guarantee a stable taka value. Conversely, currency movement can partly offset a metal-price move. The Last updated time is important because a rate comparison using different snapshots can attribute a difference to a dealer that actually comes from market timing.

The gold market in Bangladesh also has a domestic retail pricing layer. BAJUS reference rates and shop terms need to be reviewed from their current official publication, not inferred from the international spot conversion. For a purchase, compare identical karat, net weight, making-charge treatment, and total invoice amount. For a sale, compare tested fineness, accepted weight, and final net cash proceeds.

Source notes: the BAJUS rate page provides the domestic reference, while UNB's reporting on BAJUS describes the 11.664-gram bhori convention and local retail pricing. No retail rate from those publications is copied into this live spot table. For general weight and purity comparisons, use the linked karat pages and the scrap gold calculator.
