1 Pavan Gold Price – Complete Guide
When it comes to buying or selling gold in Malaysia and India, one of the most searched terms is 1 Pavan gold price. The word Pavan (or Pawan) is traditionally used in South India to refer to gold weight measurement.
1 Pavan = 8 grams of gold
This makes it easier to calculate gold jewellery value, especially in pawn shops, where terms like 1 pawn gold or pawn shop gold calculator are often used to estimate how much money you can get for your gold today.
1 Pavan Gold Price Today
The 1 Pavan gold price today is based on the live 22kt gold rate today in Malaysia. Since 22kt gold (91.6% purity) is commonly used for gold jewellery, this is the most accurate standard for pricing.
If the 22kt gold price today is (for example) RM 305 per gram, then:
1 Pavan gold price = 8g × RM 305 = RM 2,440
Prices may vary slightly depending on:
- Daily international gold rate
- Local demand & supply
- Pawn shop or jeweller’s margin
- Gold purity (22kt, 24kt, 21kt, etc.)
- Gold Purity Chart (Karat vs Carat)
When searching for gold prices, many people confuse karat vs carat.
Karat (kt) → Gold purity (e.g., 22kt, 24kt)
Carat (ct) → Gemstone weight (e.g., diamond carats)
Here’s a gold purity chart to make it simple:
- Gold Karat Purity (%) Parts of Gold (per 24) Common Usage
- 24kt 99.9% 24/24 Investment bars, coins
- 22kt 91.6% 22/24 Jewellery (most popular in Asia & Middle East)

How Pawn Shops Use Gold Price Calculations
Pawn shops often use a pawn shop gold calculator to determine the loan or resale value of your jewellery.
Formula:
Gold Value = (Gold Weight in grams × Purity %) × Live Gold Price per gram
Example for 1 Pavan (8g) of 22kt gold at RM 305/g:
Pure gold content = 8g × 91.6% = 7.33g
Value = 7.33g × RM 305 = RM 2,236
Pawn shops may deduct 5–15% as margin before offering a loan or cash.
1 Pavan = 8 grams of gold
