How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the dimensions of your piece (length, width, thickness in mm).
  2. Select the metal alloy (e.g., fine silver, 18k yellow gold, platinum) to apply its density.
  3. Review the calculated piece weight in grams and troy ounces.
  4. Use the weight to estimate material cost by multiplying by the current spot price.
  5. Adjust dimensions to hit a target weight or cost before ordering sheet metal.
