Gold price in Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) — Ukraine

This page tracks the live gold price in Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) for Ukraine, covering 24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, 14K, 12K and 9K per gram. Prices are derived from the global XAU/USD spot rate and converted into UAH using Ukraine's parallel-market exchange rate, so they reflect what gold really costs on the street rather than at the official rate.

How the gold price in UAH is calculated

Gold trades globally in US dollars per troy ounce. To express it in Ukrainian Hryvnia, we take the live XAU/USD spot price, divide by 31.1035 to get the price per gram, apply the purity factor for each karat, and then convert to UAH using Ukraine's parallel exchange rate. Using the parallel rate matters: at the lower official National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) rate, the local gold price would look artificially cheap compared with what jewellers actually charge.

Gold karats explained (24K, 22K, 18K and more)

Karat measures purity as parts per 24. Pure 24K gold is 999 fineness; 22K is about 916 (popular for jewellery and coins), 21K is 875, 18K is 750, 14K is 585, 12K is 500 and 9K is 375. The price per gram scales directly with these factors — so 18K gold is roughly three-quarters the price of 24K. We publish all seven tiers so you can value any piece.

To value a piece by the ounce, multiply the per-gram price by 31.1035; for a kilogram bar, multiply by 1,000.

Why gold prices track the parallel market in Ukraine

Since 2022 Ukraine has managed the hryvnia under wartime controls, leaving a cash-market rate that trades apart from the official one. When a currency is under pressure, people often move savings into gold, so the local gold price and the parallel dollar rate tend to rise together. Watching gold in UAH is therefore a useful real-terms gauge of how much the Ukrainian Hryvnia is losing — or holding — its value.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of 24K gold per gram in UAH today?

This page shows the live 24K gold price per gram in Ukrainian Hryvnia for Ukraine, updated regularly. It is derived from the international gold spot price converted into UAH at the parallel-market exchange rate.

How is the gold price in Ukrainian Hryvnia calculated?

We start from the global XAU/USD spot price, convert to a per-gram figure (dividing by 31.1035 grams per troy ounce), apply each karat's purity factor, and convert into UAH using Ukraine's parallel (black market) exchange rate.

Why is gold more expensive when priced at the parallel rate?

Because the parallel exchange rate values the US dollar higher than the official rate. Since gold is priced in dollars internationally, converting it at the stronger street rate gives a higher — and more realistic — Ukrainian Hryvnia price than the official rate would.

What is the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold?

The karat number is the share of pure gold out of 24. 24K is essentially pure (999), 22K is about 91.6% (916), and 18K is 75% (750) gold mixed with other metals for durability. Price scales with purity, so 18K is roughly three-quarters the per-gram price of 24K.

How often does the UAH gold price update?

Gold prices in Ukrainian Hryvnia on this page refresh regularly through the day as both the global spot price and Ukraine's parallel exchange rate move.
