What gold costs in Kraków today
Converted at today's rates, pure 24k gold costs about 508.71 PLN per gram in Kraków, and 22k about 466.33 PLN. Per 10 grams, a common size for small bars and rate boards, that is about 5,087.05 PLN for 24k. These are spot-based figures, before any tax, premium or making charge.
Kraków's assay offices
Kraków is the second seat of a regional assay office in Poland. The Regional Assay Office in Kraków and the Assay Office of Cracow share an address at ul. Rakowicka 3.
Only Warsaw and Kraków have a regional office, so Kraków is the base for gold testing in southern Poland.
What moves the gold price in Kraków
The Polish zloty gold price is simply the dollar price of gold multiplied by the exchange rate. Today that means about $4,042.7 per ounce times 3.9138 PLN per dollar. The zloty floats and tends to weaken when investors avoid emerging markets, which is also when gold is in demand, so the zloty gold price can rise faster than the dollar price.
The dollar price itself responds to US interest-rate expectations, the strength of the dollar, inflation data, central-bank buying and geopolitical risk. Our guide to what moves gold prices covers each in turn.
Premiums, making charges and tax in Kraków
The shelf price in Kraków is higher than the converted figure above. A shop adds 23% VAT on jewellery (investment gold is VAT-exempt), the dealer's premium and the jeweller's margin. On jewellery, making charges are built into the retail price of jewellery, so two pieces of the same weight and purity can carry very different prices. Hallmarking is compulsory for gold items of 1 gram or more, and the official list of gold standards is 999, 960, 750, 585, 500 and 375.
Gold market hours in Kraków
The international gold market trades almost around the clock on weekdays. In Kraków the London–New York overlap, usually the busiest and most volatile part of the day, runs today from about 14:00–18:00 local time. The two LBMA Gold Price auctions in London, at 10:30 and 15:00 London time, fall at 11:30 and 16:00 in Kraków, and major US data released at 08:30 New York time, such as payrolls and inflation, lands at 14:30 local time. The week's trading closes at 23:00 on Friday and reopens at 00:00 on Monday, Kraków time; over the weekend the price on this page is the last close. Investment gold is VAT-exempt and, if held for more than six months, free of income tax when sold. Our gold market hours tool shows the sessions in any time zone.
Kraków compared with Warsaw
Kraków and Warsaw both price gold in PLN off the same international price and the same exchange rate, so the converted figure is identical: about 508.71 PLN per gram of 24k in both. Any difference at the counter comes from making charges, dealer premiums and how hard the shops compete.
How this PLN gold price is calculated
Three numbers decide everything on this page. First, the international gold price in US dollars per troy ounce: $4,042.7 at the last update. Second, the exchange rate: 1 USD = 3.9138 PLN. Third, the weight: one troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, and one tola is 11.6638 grams.
- Price per gram in USD = $4,042.7 ÷ 31.1035 = $129.98.
- Price per gram in PLN = $129.98 × 3.9138 = 508.71 PLN (24k, pure gold).
- Price per 10 grams = 508.71 × 10 = 5,087.05 PLN.
- For a lower purity, multiply by the fineness: 22k = 0.9167, 21k = 0.875, 18k = 0.75.
The gold price is the spot price of gold (XAUUSD) from a public real-time feed, refreshed every few seconds while the page is open; the 7-day table and the 30-session chart use COMEX gold futures closes, which usually sit a few dollars above spot. The exchange rate is a mid-market rate; the rate your bank or money changer gives you will be slightly different. If you want to do the maths yourself, our guide to converting the gold price per gram, tola and kilo walks through every step with worked examples.
What this price does not include
The figures above are the international spot price converted into local currency. They are the starting point for every retail price in Kraków, but they are not the price you will pay or receive at a shop. The shop price adds some or all of these on top:
- Import duty or customs charges, where gold or jewellery is imported.
- Sales tax or VAT, where the country charges one. Many countries tax jewellery but not investment bars; the sections above say what applies here.
- Dealer premium: the margin a bullion dealer or bank adds to the spot price for bars and coins, usually larger on small pieces.
- Making charges (labour) on jewellery, often a percentage of the gold value or a fixed amount per gram.
- Local supply and demand, which can push the physical price to a premium or a discount against the international price for weeks at a time.
When you sell, the buyer usually quotes below the spot-based number and deducts for purity testing, wear and sometimes stones. The gap between the buying and the selling price is the real cost of owning physical gold, and it varies a lot between shops, so it is worth asking several.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gold rate today in Kraków?
At the last update, 24k gold in Kraków was about 508.71 PLN per gram and 5,087.05 PLN per 10 grams, with 22k at about 466.33 PLN per gram. That is the international price converted at the latest exchange rate; the figures at the top of the page refresh automatically. Shop prices in Kraków are higher because they add 23% VAT on jewellery (investment gold is VAT-exempt), the dealer’s premium and the jeweller’s margin.
What is the difference between 22k and 24k gold in Kraków?
24k is pure gold (99.9%); 22k is 91.67% gold, so it costs about 8.3% less per gram: roughly 466.33 PLN against 508.71 PLN today. Hallmarking is compulsory for gold items of 1 gram or more, and the official list of gold standards is 999, 960, 750, 585, 500 and 375. You pay for the gold content, so always check the stated purity and hallmark.
Why is the jeweller's price in Kraków different from this page?
This page shows the spot price converted into PLN with nothing added. A shop in Kraków adds 23% VAT on jewellery (investment gold is VAT-exempt), the dealer’s premium and the jeweller’s margin. Making charges are built into the retail price of jewellery. Shops may also update their rate only a few times a day, so on fast-moving days their board can lag the live price in either direction.
Is gold cheaper in Warsaw than in Kraków?
Not on the gold itself. Kraków and Warsaw use the same PLN price, about 508.71 PLN per gram for 24k at the last update. Differences between shops come from making charges, premiums and margins, so comparing several quotes in either city matters more than the city.
When is the best time to buy gold in Kraków?
We cannot tell you when to buy, and nobody can forecast prices reliably. What is known is the calendar: in Kraków, demand peaks around First Communion, christenings, weddings and Christmas, which tends to affect shop premiums and promotions rather than the international price. The price itself moves most during the London–New York overlap, about 14:00–18:00 local time. Compare today’s figure with the 7-day table and 30-session chart, and decide based on your own reasons and time frame. This is education, not advice.
