Gold calculator

Buyback spread calculator

See how much the gap between a dealer's selling price and their buyback quote costs you in cash terms.

Estimated result

Educational estimate only. This is not financial, investment, tax, legal, or personal advice.

Worked example

A dealer sale price of GBP 1,100 and buyback quote of GBP 1,030 gives a GBP 70 spread, equal to 6.36% of the sale price.

How the calculation works

  1. Subtract the buyback quote from the dealer sale price.
  2. Divide the cash gap by the dealer sale price to estimate spread percentage.
  3. Spread is only one comparison input and is not a buy or sell recommendation.
