Formula Used

The value of your junk silver is calculated using the following formula:

Value = (Weight × Purity Percentage × Current Silver Price per Ounce) / 100

Where:

Weight is the total weight of your silver in ounces or grams
Purity Percentage is the percentage of pure silver in your item
Current Silver Price per Ounce is the current market price of silver per ounce

The calculator uses the most recent silver price data available.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the value of 10 ounces of 92.5% pure silver:

Value = (10 oz × 92.5% × $25.00/oz) / 100

Value = (10 × 0.925 × 25) / 100

Value = 23.125 / 100

Value = $23.13

So, 10 ounces of 92.5% pure silver would be worth approximately $23.13 based on current market prices.
