The Platinum Buy Price calculator computes the Jeweler's Buy Price for platinum based on the current value of platinum, the percent purity, a scrap processing fee, and the jeweler's profit margin.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (W) Weight of Platinum Item
- (P%) Percent Purity
- (S%) Percent Refinement Fee (processing cost to jeweler)
- (F%) Percent Fee (jeweler's profit)
Jewelers Precious Metals Buy Price (BP): The buy price is returned in U.S. dollars. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The Jewelers Platinum Buy Price calculator computes the Jeweler's Buy Price for platinum items based on the current value of platinum (Platinum Spot:$963.99/t_oz), the metal's purity, a scrap processing fee, and the jeweler's profit margin.
- Platinum alloy purity percentage
- Platinum alloy weight
- a percentage fee for scrap metal processing/refining
- a percentage profit margin (fee).
The result is the price that can be given to the seller of the metal while paying the refiner and making the profit (fee) identified.
The weight can be in troy ounces, pennyweight or grams. vCalc converts the weight into Troy Ounces and then fetches the current spot price for an ounce of platinum. It then multiplies the weight of the pure platinum content against the spot price and scrap discount percentage to give the platinum's value.
Note: scrap is a percentage. It can vary based on the purity and the metal. Gold is often refined for as little as 2%. However, lately silver may command a 30% scrap refining fee.
