Understanding the
Gold You Have

Not all silver is valued in the same way. The type of item, the purity of the silver, and any visible markings can all affect how it is assessed.

Pure Gold & Bullion

24ct

Gold content: 24/24  ·  Purity: 99%

Nearly pure gold, favoured for investment bars, coins, and Krugerrands. Too soft for everyday jewellery, but unmatched for storing and growing wealth.

purity 99%

High Quality Jewellery

22ct

Gold content: 22/24  ·  Purity: 91.7%

A rich, deep gold tone with minimal alloy content. Popular for premium jewellery and traditional pieces where colour and gold value matter most.

Premium Jewellery

18ct

Why Your Calculator Estimate May Differ From the Final Offer

The calculator uses the information entered by the user, so it cannot confirm purity, weight, authenticity, item type, condition, or collectability. It is designed to provide a starting estimate, not a final offer.

Purity Weight entered by the user may differ from the verified weight.
Weight The selected carat may be incorrect or unknown.
Current Gold Price Items may include stones, springs, non-gold parts, or plating.
Condition & Authenticity Coins and bars need authentication.
Item Type Gold prices may move between the estimate and final assessment.

Turn Your Estimate Into a Quote

Once you have a calculator estimate, the next step is to send your item details for review. Photos, hallmarks, weight, coin details, or bar packaging can help us give you a more useful starting quote.

Gold Calculator FAQs

Understanding how gold is valued can be confusing, especially with different karats, weights, and daily price fluctuations to consider. Below we've answered the most common questions about how our gold calculator works, how prices are determined, and how to get an accurate estimate of your gold's value before buying or selling.

How does the gold calculator work?

The calculator estimates value by combining item type, weight, purity, and the current gold price.

Is the calculator estimate a final offer?

No. It is an indicative estimate. Final value depends on assessment, verified weight, purity, authenticity, and current pricing.

Can I calculate the broken gold value?

Yes. Broken gold can be estimated if you know the weight and approximate purity.

Can I calculate a Krugerrand price?

Yes. The calculator can support Krugerrands if the size is selected, but authenticity and condition still need final assessment.

Does the calculator use live gold prices?

It is connected to a current gold price feed and shows the last updated price.
