Palladium rate in South Africa โ€” questions

What is the palladium rate in South Africa today?

The palladium rate in South Africa today is R21,940 per troy ounce for 24K, and R21,940 per troy ounce for 24K. These are live figures converted from international spot at the current ZAR exchange rate.

What is the price of 1 gram of gold in South Africa?

One gram of 24K palladium costs R705.39 in South Africa, and 22K costs R646.60 per gram. 18K works out at R529.04.

Why is 22K cheaper than 24K in South Africa?

22K gold is 91.67% pure โ€” 22 parts gold to 24 โ€” so it contains less gold by weight than 24K, which is 99.9% pure. That is why 22K is R58.78 less per gram here. The alloy makes it harder, which is why jewellery is usually 22K or below.

How often does this rate update?

The spot price refreshes continuously through the trading day and this page reflects the latest reading, last confirmed 55 seconds ago. Exchange rates refresh alongside it.

How this price is worked out. Gold trades in one global market, quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. The South Africa price above is that spot price converted into ZAR at the current exchange rate, then scaled to the weight and purity shown โ€” no estimate is involved at any step. What it does not include is the jeweller's making charge, wastage, or local taxes, which vary shop to shop. Use it as the metal value, not as a shop quote. Historical rows are converted at today's exchange rate, so they show how the metal moved rather than how the ZAR moved.
