Gold Investment Return Calculator

What this calculates

Enter an amount and a purchase date: the calculator finds gold's reference price on that date, computes how many ounces the amount bought, and values them at today's price. It reports total return, compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and the inflation-adjusted result using the consumer price index of the chosen currency.

The 'real return' uses the Fisher relation: (1 + nominal) ÷ (1 + inflation) − 1, so it is slightly different from simply subtracting inflation.

Limits

Reference prices exclude dealer premiums (typically 2–8% for coins and small bars), storage, insurance and taxes. Where only monthly averages exist for the chosen date, the monthly average is used and labelled.
