1. What is the Silver Price Calculator?

The Silver Price Calculator estimates the value of silver items based on weight, purity percentage, and current market spot price. It's specifically designed for the Indian market using rupees as currency.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the silver value formula:

Where:

• \( Weight \) — Weight of silver in grams
• \( Purity \) — Purity percentage of silver (e.g., 92.5 for sterling silver)

Explanation: The formula calculates the pure silver content value by adjusting for purity and multiplying by the current market rate.
