How to use the gold calculator
- Weigh your item on a kitchen or jeweller's scale (grams are the most accurate).
- Check the stamp: 999 = 24K, 916 = 22K, 750 = 18K, 585 = 14K, 417 = 10K, 375 = 9K.
- Pick your currency — USD, CAD, GBP, INR, AED and more use live exchange rates.
- Add a premium (buying) or a negative percentage (selling to a dealer) to estimate what you'll actually pay or receive.
Melt value vs selling price
Melt value is the worth of the pure gold inside your item. Gold buyers and pawn shops typically pay 70–90% of melt value, while jewellers charge making fees on top. Check the live gold price today or the price for 14K and 22K gold.
