How this palladium calculator works

This calculator multiplies your item’s weight by its fineness (like Pd950) and by today’s live palladium price per gram — the same method used to price palladium rings, wedding bands, and bullion.

Frequently asked questions

What does Pd950 mean?

A Pd950 stamp means the item is 95% pure palladium, alloyed with 5% other metals for durability. It's the most common purity standard for palladium jewelry.

Why is palladium sometimes worth more than gold?

Palladium's price is driven heavily by demand from catalytic converters in gasoline vehicles. When industrial demand outpaces mine supply, its price can rise sharply — at times even trading above gold, though this varies significantly over time.

How do you calculate palladium melt value?

Palladium melt value = weight in grams × fineness (as a decimal) × palladium price per gram — the same formula used for gold, silver, and platinum.
