Gold filled is a layered metal that must contain 5% karat gold by weight. The karatage of the gold content may range between 10kt - 18kt so the amount of pure gold will depend on the karatage. The most common gold filled in the US is 14kt gold-filled denoted as 14/20 GF on most hallmarks to indicate 14kt gold that is 1/20 by weight, or 5%. To calculate pure gold content take 5% of 14/24 (for 14 out of 24 karats in pure gold) = 2.92% pure gold.
Gold filled is not an alloy. It is a layered product with all the gold on the surface. It helps to understand gold-filled construction in order to accurately describe the product and care for it.

How can you tell if something is filled gold?
To determine if something is filled gold, you can look for a hallmark such as "GF" for gold-filled, or "14k GF" for 14 karat gold-filled. You can also have it tested by a jeweler who can determine the gold content using acid testing or electronic testing. Gold-filled items are made by bonding a layer of gold onto a base metal, so they will have a different weight and characteristics compared to solid gold items.
