## Definition

A gold calculator is a financial evaluation tool used to determine the monetary value of gold items based on weight, purity, and the current market spot price. Users input the weight of their gold in grams, ounces, pennyweights, or other units, along with the purity rating expressed in karats or percentages. The calculator computes the pure gold content and multiplies it by the current gold price per unit of weight to find the raw scrap value. Jewelers, investors, and sellers use it to estimate the value of jewelry, coins, and bullion.

## How to Use

1. **Select gold purity** — Choose the karat rating of your gold from the dropdown list or enter a custom percentage.
2. **Enter the weight** — Type the weight of your gold and select the weight unit, such as grams or pennyweights.
3. **Set the spot price** — Input the current market price of gold per troy ounce or gram.
4. **Read the gold value** — View the calculated pure gold weight and the estimated scrap melt value.
