Scrap Gold Value Calculator
Weigh your items in grams, select the carat from the hallmark (375 = 9ct, 585 = 14ct, 750 = 18ct, 916 = 22ct), and the calculator shows the live melt value — what the pure gold content is worth at today’s spot price.
The dealer range below the result shows what buyers typically pay: around 70–90% of melt value, covering their refining costs and margin. Knowing the melt figure before you sell is your strongest negotiating tool.
How it’s calculated: live spot price (GBP per troy ounce) ÷ 31.1035 × purity × weight. See our methodology for data sources and update frequency.
