Silver Melt Value Calculator (India)
If you are planning to sell silver jewelry, coins, bars, or even old silver utensils, it is important to understand the silver melt value. Most people sell silver without knowing how much pure silver is actually present in their items. This often results in accepting a lower price than the real value.
This Silver Melt Value Calculator India helps you estimate the true value of silver based only on weight, purity, and the current silver price per gram. It is designed especially for Indian users and common purity standards used in India.

What Is Silver Melt Value?
Silver melt value is the value of silver based purely on its metal content. It does not include making charges, design value, or emotional attachment. When silver is melted and refined, only the pure silver remains, and buyers pay according to that value.
How Silver Melt Value Is Calculated
The calculation depends on three simple factors:
- Weight of the silver item
- Purity level of silver
- Current silver price per gram
Formula: Weight × Silver Price × (Purity ÷ 1000)
Common Silver Purity Types in India
- 999 Silver: Used in coins and bars
- 925 Silver: Sterling silver jewelry
- 800–900 Silver: Traditional and household items
Why Buyers Offer Less Than Melt Value
Buyers deduct refining costs, impurity losses, and their profit margin. Knowing your silver melt value helps you negotiate confidently and avoid underpricing.
