Formula Used

Gold Scrap Value Calculation

The value of your gold scrap is calculated using the following formula:

Value = (Weight × Purity) × Price per Gram

Where:

Weight is the amount of gold scrap in grams (0.766g in this case)
Purity is the percentage of pure gold in your scrap (e.g., 0.995 for 99.5% pure gold)
Price per Gram is the current market price of gold per gram

This formula accounts for the fact that gold scrap often contains impurities, so we multiply the weight by the purity percentage to get the effective amount of pure gold.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works:

Suppose you have 0.766g of gold scrap that is 99.5% pure.
The current price of gold is $55 per gram.
Using the formula: Value = (0.766 × 0.995) × 55
First calculate the effective pure gold: 0.766 × 0.995 = 0.762g
Then multiply by the price: 0.762 × 55 = $41.91

So, your 0.766g of 99.5% pure gold scrap would be worth approximately $41.91 based on these values.

Note

Actual values may vary slightly due to market fluctuations and local pricing differences. Always verify with a trusted jeweler or precious metals dealer for the most accurate valuation.
