100 Gram Gold Price in Dubai Today (INR & AED)

Today’s live price of 100 grams of gold in Dubai for 24K, 22K, 21K, 18K and 14K, in Indian Rupees and UAE Dirham. Prices update automatically through the day from the international gold price.

100 grams of 24K gold costs 100 times the per-gram rate, which today is ₹12,320.35 (AED 480.76) in Dubai. Put another way, it's ten times the 10 g price of ₹1,23,203 (AED 4,807.60). A 100 g bar adds a modest dealer premium on top; 100 g of jewellery adds making charges and VAT, and ends up costing noticeably more.

The 100 g bar is one of the most popular investment sizes in the Gulf. It is big enough to keep premiums low and small enough to sell without fuss.

100 g at a glance

The live table below shows today's price for 100 g and nearby weights in 24K, in both currencies.

100 g bar or 10-tola bar?

In Dubai shops, the 100 g bar often sits right next to the 10-tola bar, and buyers regularly ask which is better. They're close in size but not the same.

Neither is "better" in itself. Compare the premium per gram on the day. If the 100 g bar is quoted at AED 40,250 and the 10-tola bar at AED 46,950, the premiums work out to AED 2.50 and AED 2.52 a gram respectively, effectively the same. The 10-tola bar guide covers that size in more depth, and our comparison of biscuits and bars explains the minted versus cast distinction.

Bar vs jewellery: same weight, very different bills

Here's the same 100 g, bought three ways, with illustrative rates of AED 400 (24K) and AED 366 (22K).

As a 24K cast bar

• Gold: AED 40,000
• Premium: say AED 250
• VAT: check the invoice; investment-grade gold can be zero-rated in B2B trade
• Approximate total: AED 40,250

As plain 22K bangles

• Gold: AED 36,600
• Making at AED 15 a gram: AED 1,500
• VAT at 5%: AED 1,905
• Total: AED 40,005

As an ornate 22K necklace set

• Gold: AED 36,600
• Making at AED 45 a gram: AED 4,500
• VAT at 5%: AED 2,055
• Total: AED 43,155

The bangles and the bar cost about the same, yet the bar holds 99.9 g of pure gold and the bangles 91.6 g. The necklace costs the most and holds the same 91.6 g as the bangles. If resale value is your priority, a bar wins. If you'll wear it, the bangles are a sensible middle path.

What would each version fetch if you sold it?

Resale is where the three options really separate. A buyer pays for pure gold content at their buying rate, which is below the selling rate on the board, and ignores whatever you paid for making and VAT.

Suppose, a year later, the rate is unchanged and a dealer pays AED 395 a gram for pure gold. The bar's 99.9 g fetches about AED 39,460, close to what you paid. The bangles' 91.6 g fetches about AED 36,180, a loss of nearly AED 3,800 against the purchase price. The necklace fetches the same AED 36,180, but it cost you AED 43,155, so the gap is almost AED 7,000.

None of this means jewellery is a bad buy. It means you should treat the making charge as the price of wearing it, not as part of your savings.

Has 100 g of gold become more expensive?

For anyone putting several lakh rupees into a single purchase, it helps to see how the price has behaved. The table below shows recent Dubai rate history.

Past movement says nothing certain about next month, but it does show how far the price can swing. A 5% move on a 100 g bar is about AED 2,000 either way. For more on reading those numbers, the Dubai gold price history page has longer ranges.

Paying for 100 g in Dubai

At today's prices, 100 g of 24K comes to tens of thousands of dirhams. Depending on the rate, a cash payment of this size may cross the AED 55,000 threshold at which UAE dealers must identify the customer and report the transaction. Either way, expect to show a passport or Emirates ID for a purchase this large.

If you pay with an Indian card, the rupee amount depends on your card's exchange rate and any foreign transaction fee. Decline any offer at the terminal to charge you in rupees; that dynamic conversion usually uses a worse rate.

Carrying a 100 g bar to India

A bar is bullion, and bullion is never duty-free in baggage, whatever the weight. Indian passport holders or people of Indian origin returning after at least six months abroad can bring up to 1 kg under the eligible passenger scheme, paying 15% duty in convertible foreign currency on Customs' assessed value. Everyone else should not assume they can bring a bar at all without checking first.

The 40 g and 20 g jewellery allowances do not apply to bars. Our guide to carrying gold bars from Dubai to India walks through the declaration. Rules can change, so check the latest CBIC position before your flight.

Buying tips for a 100 g purchase

• Compare premiums, not prices. Subtract the gold value from the quote and divide by 100.
• Check the assay details. Purity, serial number and refiner should be on the bar and the certificate. Our gold bar buying guide lists what to look for.
• Consider splitting. Ten 10 g bars are easier to sell in parts but cost more per gram.
• Keep the invoice and certificate together. They're what a buyer, and Indian Customs, will ask for.
• Know your per-gram basics. Our per-gram explainer shows how 100 g, tola and ounce prices relate.
