Free Scrap Calculator | Know Your Scrap Worth Today

Prices are updated daily, every morning, to reflect the latest scrap metal market rates across all supported countries. The date shown at the top of the calculator confirms when prices were last refreshed so you always know you are working with current data.

Our scrap price calculator supports multiple countries and automatically adjusts the currency and unit of measurement based on your selection. You can switch between currencies such as USD, AUD, GBP, EUR, INR, and more, as well as between kilograms, pounds, and tonnes depending on your region.

You can calculate prices for a wide range of scrap metals including copper, aluminium, iron, steel, brass, stainless steel, lead, zinc, and more. Once you select a scrap type, the Material / Grade dropdown will show the available grades so you can get the most accurate price for your specific material.

Scrap metal is graded based on its purity, condition, and mix of alloys. For example, copper is graded as bare bright, #1 copper, or #2 copper — each fetching a different price. Selecting the correct grade ensures the price you see matches what a scrap dealer would actually offer for your material.

No. While global commodity markets set a baseline, actual scrap prices vary by country and city based on local demand, transportation costs, import and export regulations, and the number of active recyclers in that region. Always select your correct country in the calculator for an accurate local estimate.

Yes. Our calculator gives you a reliable daily reference price so you know the market rate before approaching a scrap dealer. While final prices may vary slightly with individual dealers, having this estimate ensures you get a fair deal and are not undersold on your materials.

The unit of measurement varies by country. Kilograms (kg) and metric tonnes are standard in Australia, India, Europe, and most of Asia. Pounds (lb) are commonly used in the United States. Our calculator lets you switch units freely so you can work in whatever measurement is most familiar to you.

Copper consistently ranks as the highest-value common scrap metal globally, followed by brass and aluminium. Precious metals such as silver and gold carry even higher prices but are less commonly traded as scrap. Iron and steel have lower per-unit prices but are typically sold in large volumes by weight.

Our platform uses daily market data to provide the most accurate regional pricing available. However, scrap prices are influenced by hyperlocal factors such as nearby smelters, dealer competition, and seasonal demand. We recommend using our prices as a strong reference point and confirming the final rate with a licensed dealer in your area.
