Silver Weight Calculator

Pure silver (99.9%) has a density of 655 pounds per cubic foot, or 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter. This makes it slightly less dense than lead but denser than copper.

Multiply pounds by 13.17 to get troy ounces, the standard unit for precious metals. One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams, which is about 10% heavier than a regular ounce.

Sterling silver (92.5% silver, 7.5% copper) is slightly less dense than pure silver, weighing about 652 lb/ft³. The difference is minimal for most calculations, about 0.5% lighter.

Multiply troy ounces by the current spot price of silver (check commodities markets). As of 2024, silver typically trades between $20-30 per troy ounce, though prices fluctuate daily.

Both use the same density formula (volume × density), but bars are typically measured as length × width × height while sheets use length × width × thickness. The calculation method is identical regardless of shape.
