Works as a sterling silver calculator, silver coin calculator, or scrap calculator — enter a weight and fineness (925 sterling is selected by default) to estimate melt value at the current live spot price.
Estimate only, not a binding offer.
Prices refresh automatically — the “live” badge means it’s pulled from a real-time feed.
This silver value calculator multiplies your item's weight by its fineness (like 925 sterling or 999 fine) and by today's live silver price per gram — the same method dealers use to price flatware, coins, and jewelry.
Silver melt value = weight in grams × fineness (as a decimal) × silver price per gram. For example, 100g of 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure) at $0.98/gram is worth about $90.65 in silver content.
A 925 stamp means the item is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for strength. It's the standard purity for silver jewelry and flatware.
Sterling silver has real melt value since it's over 90% silver, but antique, branded, or well-crafted pieces are often worth more intact than as scrap — check resale value before melting anything.
Yes — select the fineness stamped on the coin (999 for modern bullion coins like American Silver Eagles, 900 for historic US coinage) and enter its weight. For pre-1965 90% silver US coins valued by face amount, use the dedicated Junk Silver Calculator instead.
Yes. Type a weight next to each fineness (for example sterling flatware and a coin) to price the whole lot at once, then type any payout percentage to see what a buyer would pay. "Copy quote" copies every line and the total for pasting into a text or email.
