Precious metals reference prices

Reference prices Reference

All four prices below were read from the same source at the same time, so they're directly comparable to each other — but each is still just one dated snapshot, not a live quote.

Source: Kitco.com, "Precious Metals" price page, accessed Sep 26, 2026 — all four New York spot bids timestamped September 25, 2026, 5:00 PM EST. Kitco's own timestamp lags real-time by a few minutes and can differ slightly from other dealers' quoted spreads.

How to read these numbers

Every figure on fin·calc's invest pages is labelled with what kind of number it is — see the full explanation on the Invest overview.

A Reference badge means a dated snapshot pulled from a named public source at a specific time — useful for the calculators on this site, but not something you can necessarily transact at right now. A End of day badge (used on the bonds page for US Treasury par yields) means an official closing/daily figure published once per trading day by the source itself. Neither is the same as a Live quote, which fin·calc does not provide — that requires a paid real-time market-data licence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do gold and silver get their own pages instead of just this table?

Gold and silver each have a unit converter and a purity-adjusted value calculator, and silver additionally has the gold/silver ratio — those interactive tools need more room than a single comparison table.

Why aren't platinum and palladium prices shown as calculators too?

They're shown here as reference figures for comparison. If you need a purity-adjusted value or unit conversion for platinum or palladium, the same math applies — use the gold or silver calculator and substitute the platinum/palladium price per troy ounce from the table above.

Is this page telling me which metal to buy?

No. It's a side-by-side reference table only — fin·calc doesn't rate, rank or recommend any metal.
