What Is Melt Value?

Melt value is the intrinsic worth of the precious metal content in an item — what a refiner would pay for the raw metal after melting it down. It is calculated by multiplying the pure metal weight by the current spot price. For example, a 14K gold ring weighing 5 grams contains 2.925 grams of pure gold (58.5% of 5g). At a gold spot price of $4,412.89/ozt, the melt value would be $414.99.

Dealers and gold buyers typically pay a percentage of melt value — often 70% to 95% — because they need to cover refining costs, testing, and profit margin. The calculator above lets you enter a payout percentage to see what you'd actually receive.
