Estimate expected finished production weight from starting material and an expected production yield. Use the tool for planning jewellery batches, manufacturing runs and other gold-product output estimates.
Calculate expected output from input mass and yield.
The calculator treats the entered yield as the proportion of starting mass expected to remain in the specified finished output.
Yield describes a mass relationship between input and output. Purity describes the proportion of gold within the material. A high production yield does not necessarily mean the finished product has high gold purity.
Production weight estimates can help with batch planning, expected inventory, material requirements and finished-unit projections. Actual results should always be checked against measured production weights.
Casting, cutting, filing, polishing, finishing, sprues, residues and other process factors can change the final mass. Therefore an assumed yield is a planning input rather than a guarantee.
Multiply starting material weight by the expected yield percentage.
It is the proportion of input mass expected to remain in the specified output.
No. Yield and purity measure different properties.
Yes, when a realistic expected yield is available.
No. Weigh the actual finished production.
