About this tool

This calculator estimates the melt value of gold by multiplying the pure gold content (based on karat) by the current spot price per gram. The dealer buy price range reflects the typical 70–80% of melt value that scrap dealers and refiners offer.

Actual prices you receive will vary based on the dealer, quantity of gold, your relationship with the buyer, and current market volatility. Always get multiple quotes before selling scrap gold.
