gold chain weighing 10 grams, the spot price is $2,650 per troy ounce, and a dealer offers 80% of melt value.<\/p>\n<p>\\[ \\text{pure gold} = 10 \\text{ g} \\times 0.75 = 7.5 \\text{ g} \\approx 0.2411 \\text{ troy oz} \\]<\/p>\n<p>\\[ V = 0.2411 \\times 2650 \\approx 639.00 \\text{ dollars} \\]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> the chain contains about 7.5 g of pure gold with a melt value of roughly <strong>$639.00<\/strong>; at an 80% buy rate, the dealer would pay approximately <strong>$511.20<\/strong>. The calculator also shows the spot price per gram: $2,650 \u00f7 31.1035 \u2248 <strong>$85.19\/g<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\r\n<\/section>\n<h2>How to use the calculator<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Enter the <strong>Gold spot price<\/strong> in dollars per troy ounce. The calculator does not fetch live prices, so check a current quote first \u2014 the price per gram is shown in the results.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a <strong>Gold type<\/strong> for row 1: a karat grade (10K\u201324K), <em>Custom purity<\/em>, or a coin preset such as the American Gold Eagle or British Sovereign.<\/li>\n<li>For karat and custom items, enter the <strong>Quantity<\/strong> and the <strong>Weight<\/strong> of one item, then choose the unit (Grams, Troy ounces, Pennyweights, or Ounces). This is the total weight of the piece, alloy included.<\/li>\n<li>If you selected <em>Custom purity<\/em>, a <strong>Gold purity<\/strong> field appears \u2014 enter the actual gold percentage (e.g. 87.5 for 21K).<\/li>\n<li>Coin presets need no weight: the pure gold content (actual gold weight) is filled in automatically, so just set the quantity.<\/li>\n<li>Add more items as needed \u2014 a new row appears as soon as the last visible row has a type selected, up to 10 rows.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the <strong>Dealer buy percentage<\/strong> to estimate what a buyer would actually pay (most scrap buyers pay 70\u201395%).<\/li>\n<li>Read the results: price per gram, total pure gold weight and melt value, dealer rate per troy ounce, estimated payout, and an item-by-item breakdown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What is gold melt value?<\/h2>\n<p>The melt value (or intrinsic value) of a gold item is what its pure gold content alone is worth at the current market price \u2014 as if the piece were melted down and sold as raw metal. It is the floor value of any gold object: no matter what happens to design, brand, or collectible appeal, the metal itself retains this worth.<\/p>\n<p>Melt value depends on two things: how much gold the item actually contains, and today's spot price. Karat measures purity \u2014 24K is 99.9% gold, 18K is 75%, 14K is 58.33%, and so on. A 14K ring and an 18K ring of identical weight contain very different amounts of gold, so purity matters as much as scale weight. This is why the calculator asks for total weight <em>and<\/em> karat, while coin presets use the published actual gold weight directly.<\/p>\n<p>The melt value tells you what a dealer could recover by refining the item, and it is the basis for scrap gold pricing. The <em>Estimated dealer payout<\/em> applies your buy percentage to the melt value: 100% means full melt value, while 80% means the dealer keeps 20% to cover refining costs, testing, and profit. Before selling, it is a strong negotiating baseline \u2014 offers far below melt value (under 60%) are usually poor.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that melt value is not the same as market value. Rare coins, designer jewelry, and pieces with large gemstones can be worth well above melt value \u2014 but that premium requires a collector or specialty buyer, not a scrap dealer. If you are weighing gold against other assets, remember that gold is often held as a long-term store of value; see how purchasing power changes over time with our <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/finance\/inflation-calculator-value-of-money-over-time\/\">inflation calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Common gold purities<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Karat<\/th>\n<th>Purity<\/th>\n<th>Miliarium fineness<\/th>\n<th>Gold in 10 g<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>24K<\/td>\n<td>99.9%<\/td>\n<td>999<\/td>\n<td>9.99 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>22K<\/td>\n<td>91.67%<\/td>\n<td>916<\/td>\n<td>9.17 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>18K<\/td>\n<td>75%<\/td>\n<td>750<\/td>\n<td>7.50 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>14K<\/td>\n<td>58.33%<\/td>\n<td>583<\/td>\n<td>5.83 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10K<\/td>\n<td>41.67%<\/td>\n<td>417<\/td>\n<td>4.17 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9K<\/td>\n<td>37.5%<\/td>\n<td>375<\/td>\n<td>3.75 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Assumptions, limitations and practical tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gemstones are not gold.<\/strong> If a ring holds stones, estimate and subtract their weight, or use the weight of the shank\/mount only. The melt value covers the metal, not settings or stones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hallmarks can lie.<\/strong> Stamped karat marks are occasionally inaccurate or forged. If large sums are involved, have the item tested (acid, XRF, or by a professional assayer) before relying on the printed mark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plated and filled items are worth almost nothing.<\/strong> Gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry contains only a microscopic layer of gold; its melt value is negligible regardless of what the calculator says for solid pieces of the same apparent karat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Different ounces.<\/strong> Precious metals use troy ounces (31.1035 g), not the everyday avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g). The calculator handles the conversion for whichever unit you select \u2014 just pick the right one. Pennyweights (1.5552 g) are still used by some US dealers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Numismatic premium is ignored.<\/strong> Rare-date coins can sell for many times melt value. Never scrap a collectible coin before checking its numismatic worth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coins use actual gold weight.<\/strong> A Krugerrand is minted in 22K alloy but contains exactly 1 troy oz of pure gold; the presets already account for this, so do not enter the coin's total weight as 22K gold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch the spot price.<\/strong> Gold prices move daily. A quote from last week can materially change the result \u2014 the price per gram shown in the results makes it easy to re-check by hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare buyers.<\/strong> Mail-in services and pawn shops often pay 40\u201360% of melt value, while dedicated scrap buyers and local coin shops commonly pay 70\u201395%.
