Silver is valued by weight, fineness, and the live spot price. The most common grades are .999 fine silver (bullion), .925 sterling silver (jewelry and flatware), and .900 coin silver (older U.S. coins). This calculator handles all of them.
Choose your fineness below, enter the weight, and the calculator converts to troy ounces and applies the current silver spot price. Add multiple pieces to total a mixed lot.
Worked example at an illustrative silver spot of $58.00 per troy ounce (use the live price above for current figures):
How to calculate silver value
- Weigh the item. Use a digital gram or pennyweight scale. Heavier, solid pieces give the most reliable estimate.

- Confirm the live spot price. The calculator fills in the current spot price automatically. Edit it if you use a different quote.

Silver Calculator questions
How do I calculate the value of silver?
Melt value = weight in troy ounces ? fineness ? spot price. The calculator converts grams or pennyweight to troy ounces (? 31.1035) and applies your selected purity automatically.
What is the most common silver purity?
Sterling (.925) is the standard for jewelry and flatware; .999 fine is used for bullion; .900 coin silver appears in older U.S. coinage. Pick the matching grade for an accurate estimate.
How much is sterling silver worth per gram?
At a $58 silver spot, one gram of .925 sterling holds about $1.72 in melt value. Use the live spot above for an exact figure.
Can I weigh mixed silver together?
For accuracy, group by fineness. Sterling, fine, and coin silver have different purities, so calculate each group separately and add them to the list.
