- How much Platinum can I buy?
- How much Palladium can I buy?
- Bitcoin to Bullion: Computes amount of precious metals that can be bought with an amount of Bitcoin taking into account the current values of the metals and Bitcoin (฿) and an exchange fee .
The Math / Science
Precious metals can be purchased as an investment. The price fluctuates constantly. This is called the spot price, the price of the bullion at a given moment. To compute the amount (weight) of a metal you can buy, the formula is:
WT = INV/(DPO + MKU)
where:
- WT = weight of precious metals
- INV = Dollars invested
- DPO = Dollars per Ounce (Troy Ounce)
- MKU = Retailers Percent Markup
