See what scrap gold buyers, refineries, and pawn shops actually pay — after deductions
The melt value shown by a scrap gold calculator is the theoretical maximum. In practice, gold refineries deduct refining charges, assay fees, and melt loss (typically 0.5–2%) before issuing payment. Pawn shops and cash-for-gold dealers apply a buyback spread ranging from 5% to 30%. Use the slider below to model your expected payout ratio.
Live scrap gold price per gram, per pennyweight (DWT), and per troy ounce
Gold spot prices are set by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and trade continuously across major exchanges in London, New York, Zurich, Hong Kong, and Dubai. Select a karat to view current USD rates.
Three steps — weigh, select karat, get your melt value estimate
Divide the gold spot price per troy ounce by 31.1035 to get the 24K price per gram. Multiply by the karat fraction for lower purities.
Multiply the gold spot price by the karat purity fraction directly. For 14K gold: $3,235 × (14 ÷ 24) = $1,887.08 per troy ounce.
Enter any weight — grams, milligrams, grains, DWT, or troy ounces — and the calculator converts automatically.

Understanding karat purity, melt value, and what drives scrap gold prices
This online scrap gold calculator pulls the current gold spot price from live market feeds and applies the standard gold melt calculator formula used by refineries and dealers worldwide.
24K gold (fineness 999) is pure gold. 22K (916) is common in coins and bullion. 18K (750) is the standard for fine jewelry in Europe. 14K (585) is the most popular in the US. 10K (417) is the minimum legal karat in the US.
Melt value is the worth of the pure gold content, independent of craftsmanship. Gold-filled items (marked GF) contain roughly 5% gold by weight. Gold-plated items have negligible gold content.
Common scrap gold: broken rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, watches, gold coins, dental gold, and bullion bars. Always remove gemstones before weighing.
Compare live spot prices across gold, silver, platinum, and palladium
A gold scrap calculator multiplies the weight of your gold (converted to troy ounces) by the karat purity fraction (karat ÷ 24), then by the current live gold spot price per troy ounce. The result is the estimated melt value.
Scrap gold includes any gold item sold for its metal content: broken rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, dental gold, old coins, gold-filled flatware, and damaged bullion.
Scrap gold value = weight (troy oz) × purity fraction × gold spot price. Example: 10 grams of 14K gold at $3,235/oz ≈ $606. Dealers typically pay 70–90% of melt value.
1. Weigh in grams. 2. Find karat from hallmark. 3. Convert to troy ounces (÷ 31.1035). 4. Multiply: troy oz × (karat ÷ 24) × spot price.
Divide spot price by 31.1035 for 24K per-gram rate. At $3,235/oz: 24K = $104.01/g, 18K = $78.01/g, 14K = $60.67/g, 10K = $43.34/g.
Refineries pay 85–95% of melt value. Gold dealers pay 80–90%. Pawn shops pay 70–80%. Always compare quotes from multiple buyers.
A troy ounce = 31.1035 grams. A standard ounce = 28.3495 grams. All precious metal prices are quoted in troy ounces. One troy ounce = 20 DWT = 480 grains.
