How to use this calculator
- Find the karat stamped on your piece (e.g. 14K, 18K, 585, 750). The stamp tells you gold purity.
- Weigh it in grams on a jewelry scale. Convert pennyweights (dwt) by ×1.555, or troy oz by ×31.1.
- Enter both above. The result is melt value, what the raw gold content is worth.
No scale? Estimate & convert
Most people don’t own a jewelry scale. Use typical item weights to estimate, then convert between grams, pennyweights, and troy ounces.
No scale? Typical gold-item weights
Rough ranges to estimate before you weigh. Weighing precisely always beats estimating.
