How to Calculate Return on Gold?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Gold.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the current value of gold ($/ounce). • The current value of gold ($/ounce) is given as: 1,200.
2. Next, determine the purchase price of gold ($/ounce). • The purchase price of gold ($/ounce) is provided as: 1000.
3. Finally, calculate the Return on Gold using the equation above:

ROG = (CVG – PPG) / PPG * 100
