Precious Metals Tools
Free calculators for gold and silver investors, collectors, and sellers — all updated with live spot prices.
About These Tools
Every calculator on BullionBudget uses live spot prices fetched automatically — no manual entry required. You get the same data professional dealers use, in a format built for individual collectors and investors.
Scrap gold and silver calculators let you find the melt value of jewelry, silverware, and flatware before you sell — so you know exactly what offer to accept. Most gold buyers pay 75–90% of melt; knowing your number before you walk in the door is the single most effective negotiation tool you have.
Coin calculators cover US junk silver (90% coins), US bullion (American Eagles, Buffalos), and world silver coins from Canada, the UK, Germany, and more. Whether you're sorting a jar of old coins or pricing a collection, the melt value calculation takes seconds.
Market tools like the spot price converter, premium over spot calculator, and gold-to-silver ratio tracker help you evaluate deals and time your buying. Paying 15% over spot for a coin that typically trades at 5% over? Now you know.

The calculators do the math — the guides explain the concepts. If you're not sure what junk silver is, how to tell a silver coin from a clad one, or how to get the best price when selling scrap gold, start there.
