Converted from the global spot gold price at the live exchange rate. Prices are before UAE VAT and making charges.
How the Dubai Price in PHP Is Calculated
Dubai gold is priced from the international spot rate in US dollars. We take the live per-gram price, convert it at the current dollar rate into PHP, and show 24k first, then 22k (22/24 of the 24k price) and 21k (21/24). The UAE adds 5% VAT on jewellery at the counter (tourists can claim much of it back at the airport), and jewellers add making charges per design. The metal rate itself is identical in Dubai and at home before taxes: what differs is the tax and making-charge stack on top of it.
Dubai vs the Philippines: Where Is Gold Cheaper?
At the metal level, nowhere: the spot price is global. Dubai usually wins the total bill because making charges in the Deira souk are among the most competitive in the world and the tax on gold is lower than the duty-plus-GST stack waiting in the Philippines. The catch is customs: gold carried home above your duty-free allowance is taxed on arrival, and allowances for returning residents change over time. Read our customs duty guide before you fly, and keep every invoice: you will need them at the airport and again if you ever resell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dubai gold price in PHP today?
The live converted rate is shown at the top of this page: 24k, 22k and 21k per gram in PHP, plus the 24k price per tola. It refreshes from the spot market and the live exchange rate on every visit.
Why is Dubai gold often cheaper than in the Philippines?
The metal costs the same worldwide. Dubai’s advantage is lower making charges in a hyper-competitive souk and a lighter tax load than the import duty and GST applied in the Philippines. Your real saving depends on the design’s making charge and on customs duty when you carry the gold home.
How much gold can I carry from Dubai to the Philippines?
Returning residents get a duty-free jewellery allowance, with duty charged above it; the exact values and weight caps are set by the Philippines customs and change periodically.
