Of course there is a difference. 18k means that it isn't pure gold but an alloy. 24k equals about 100% so 18k gold is actually an alloy that contains 100/24*18 % (75%) gold. So you will of course get (25%) less money for 1 ounce of 18k than for 1 ounce of 24k gold.

How much is 18kt gold per gram?

As far as I know, 18-kt gold is 18/24 or 75% pure gold. 18kt gold is 75% pure gold. Gold closed today at $1223.10 per ounce. There are 31.10 grams per TROY ounce. So a little math here will tell all: 31.10 (grams per ounce) divided by $1223.10 (price per ounce of gold) equals 39.328 or $39.33 dollars per gram of pure gold. Now since you have 75% pure gold, take 39.33 (the price per gram of PURE gold)and multiply by .75 (again, 18kt gold is 75% pure) equals 29.497 or $29.50 per gram of 75%(18kt) gold. Yes a long answer but now you can figure it for yourself when the price of gold changes, and it does... daily.
