This comparison is not a verdict on the buyer. Testing, refining, operating costs and item-specific factors can affect a real offer.
Estimate only. This is an educational metal-value comparison, not an appraisal, purchase offer or guarantee. Read the full disclaimer.
Three inputs.
A clearer decision.
A headline cash amount is hard to judge. Put it beside the same weight, purity and market reference to make every offer comparable.

Common questions
Is melt value what a gold buyer should pay me?
No. Melt value is a reference for the contained gold, while a buyer may account for testing, refining, market risk and operating costs. Use the percentage to compare quotes, not as a guaranteed payout.
Does GoldOfferCheck buy gold?
No. We are an independent calculator and information site. We do not take possession of your items or make purchase offers.
Are stones included in the calculation?
No. The calculator values gold content only. Estimate and subtract stones or other non-gold components when possible.
Where does the reference gold price come from?
The page requests a USD-per-troy-ounce market reference from Gold API. You can inspect or replace that number before calculating. The methodology page explains the limitations.
