What is a Silver Calculator?
A silver calculator estimates what your silver is worth based on its weight, purity and the current silver price. It is handy for valuing scrap silver, old sterling cutlery, jewellery, coins and bars before you sell.
How Silver Value is Calculated
Enter the weight and choose the purity — the calculator multiplies weight × purity × silver price per gram. A 20g 925 sterling item contains 18.5g of pure silver, and that is the amount buyers base their offer on. Use Refresh live price for today's AUD spot price.

Selling Scrap Silver in Australia
Silver buyers pay a discount to the spot price for the pure silver weight. As with gold, dealers typically offer 70–90% of spot, and offers vary by location and market conditions. The calculator gives a market estimate — always compare quotes from several licensed dealers.
