Copper Price Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Copper Price Calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the weight of your copper in kilograms (kg)
  2. Specify the purity percentage of your copper (most common is 99.99% or 99.999%)
  3. Input the current market price of copper per kilogram
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to see the value of your copper

Working Principle

The calculator works by first calculating the raw material value based on the weight and market price of copper. Then, it adjusts this value based on the purity percentage of your specific copper sample. The final value represents what your copper would be worth based on its actual purity.

Example Scenario

Suppose you have 50 kg of copper with 99.99% purity, and the current market price is $8.50 per kg:

  • Raw Material Value: 50 kg × $8.50/kg = $425.00
  • Value Based on Purity: $425.00 × (99.99/100) = $424.95
  • Final Total Value: $424.95

Market Considerations

Keep in mind that this calculator provides an estimate based on current market prices. Actual selling prices may vary based on:

  • Current market conditions
  • The form of copper (copper wire, sheet, scrap, etc.)
  • Location and transportation costs
  • The specific buyer's purchasing criteria
