How to use the gold calculator — three simple inputs
Enter the weight
Weigh your gold piece in grams, pennyweight, or troy ounces. A basic jewelry scale works fine.
Select the karat
Look for the stamp on the piece — 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, or 24K. This tells you the gold purity.
Enter the spot price
Get the live gold spot price from Kitco.com and enter it into the calculator.
Get your value
The calculator instantly shows melt value at 100%, 85%, 75%, and 65% — so you know what to expect from any buyer.
What gold buyers pay — understanding your gold calculator results
Most gold buyers don't pay full melt value — they pay a percentage based on their refining costs, margins, and volume. Knowing these ranges helps you negotiate and avoid lowball offers.
