The calculators of both the metals are very different because the scales of
measuring their purities are different. The gold is measured in karats that are if
gold is showing 24 karats hallmarked then it is the purest. While in the case of
silver it is known as fine as 925 is pure without any impurity.
Gold calculator
This calculator consists of three main boxes one is for mass the other is for karats
and the third is the result one extra selection is there that is about in which type of
currency you want the result.
Calculation step by step
First, you have to select the mass and the standard of mass like it may be in gram,
kilogram ounce, tola, tael, Ratti Masha, bhari, etc. Then you have to choose karat
like 24k, 23k, 22k, 18k, etc. the third you have to choose the currency in the drop-
down list that can be the dollar, rupee, dirham, dinar, etc now you will get the
results.
The gold is calculated by multiplication of mass and karats. 24 karat means 99%
purity and karat is calculated as karat divided by 24. For example 22karat/24 it will
be 916 therefore 91 percent pure gold. So you can see at many times the items of
yellow metals are marked 91.6.
Silver calculator
The calculator has three boxes one for weight the other for purity the third for the result the next is for currency it is for giving the results in different currencies.
Calculation step by step
First you have to choose the mass of in gram, kilogram, tola, bhari, etc after this
selection you have to define the purity of silver like sterling silver .9250.920, etc,
fine .999, .998, etc, Britannia .9584, .950 etc after this you have to check the result
which will be in the currency you want.
The calculation is done by multiplication of fineness by weight and gives the result.
.999 fine silver is known as the purest and you can earn high cost if you own this
type of white metal.
Now you can use both the calculators for gaining the knowledge about the price of
your jewelry and can buy or sell it.
The silver value per gram calculator will help you to find the price of silver per
gram. Simply enter the total number of silver grams and/or kilograms into the
silver gram calculator located below. You can also click on the silver gram and
kilogram weight icons to increment each value by one. The silver price per gram
calculator will automatically display the Total Silver Value(in red), whenever any
of its values are updated.
Use the silver gram calculator to learn what your items are worth per gram of
silver, or to decide what you would be willing to pay based on the cost of silver per
gram.
The silver per gram calculator shows the price per gram of 100% pure silver,
unless a lower ratio is specified. You can select the millesimal fineness of silver
from the drop-down list, or just enter a numerical value in the silver purity text box
of the silver gram value calculator.
The total silver gram value is figured based on the spot price provided in
the Silver Price text box. The current silver spot price is updated frequently during
regular trading hours. However, the silver price, and its currency, can also be
changed to other values of your choice.
Using the Scrap Silver Value Calculator for Silver Coins
The scrap silver value calculator is particularly useful if you have bulk scrap silver coins you want to value.
Here's what to do, simply sort into fineness, for example US 90% silver, weigh your coins and enter the mass in
grams, ounces, or troy ounces and select 'Coin Silver (900)' from the silver purity drop down. This eliminates the
need to value coins by denomination and allows you to calculate the silver scrap value by weight. Here's some
other sorts of bulk scrap silver coins you could value by mass:
- Pre 1946 Australian Silver (925 fine silver)
- Post 1946 Australian Silver (500 fine silver)
- Pre 1921 Great Britain Silver (925 fine silver)
- 1921 to 1945 Great Britain Silver (500 fine silver)
Using the Scrap Silver Calculator for Silver Jewelery
Scrap silver jewelery can often be found cheaply and the silver calculator can easily be used to determine the
bullion value of these items. Typical silver purities for silver jewelery are 925 (Sterling), 900 (Coin Silver), 850,
830, 825, and 800. Look for the fineness of your silver jewelery stamped on it numerically, or perhaps via a
hallmark. Common hallmarks are a lion with raised paw (sterling silver), and a boars head or crab representing
800 fine silver.
Before you Use the Silver Calculator
- Is it real silver? Silver plate and EPNS is not real silver.
- Is it 100% silver? Some items may contain fillers of a different material which will influence it's weight
and therefore it's silver content.
- Does the collectable value outweigh the silver bullion value?
