Calculator questions
How accurate is the calculator?
It uses the live gold price and our published buy rate, so for clean, hallmarked gold the figure is what we pay. The final offer is confirmed when we weigh and test your items, because stones, clasps and plating change the gold weight.
How do I weigh my gold at home?
Kitchen scales that read to 1 g are good enough for an estimate. Take off anything that isn't gold, such as stones or steel springs, and weigh each carat separately. We weigh on approved scales when your items arrive.
Why is 9ct worth so much less per gram than 24ct?
Because only 37.5% of it is gold. The calculator multiplies the weight by the purity first, then by the live price, then by our buy rate.
Do coins and bars use the same rate?
No, they're bought at a higher percentage of the metal value because they need no refining. Pick the coins or bars page for a per-item price.
