Use this when you want to estimate what old gold is worth before visiting a buyer or comparing a payout quote.
When to use this calculator

- Comparing 22k, 18k, and 14k purity levels
- Understanding the gap between melt value and likely buyer payout
Frequently asked questions
- Why is scrap gold payout lower than theoretical melt value?
- Scrap buyers usually apply a payout discount to cover refining costs, risk, and margin, so the cash offer is often below the raw melt value.
- Can I use this for 22k jewelry in India or the Middle East?
- Yes. That is one of the main use cases. Just choose the right karat and adjust the dealer payout percentage to match the market you are comparing.
