Two free calculators for estimating what precious metals are worth and what they cost to hold.
- Melt value calculator: estimates the value of the gold, silver, platinum or palladium in a coin, bar or piece of jewelry at a spot price you enter. It starts with recent prices, shown with their date, which you can change.
- Gold IRA fee calculator: estimates the costs of buying, holding and selling metal in a gold IRA with your own figures, and how much gold would have to rise to cover them. It leaves out taxes and some extra charges.
