Turn an assay and refinery terms into a transparent settlement estimate. This tool separates theoretical metal value from payable value and actual cash deductions.
A scrap lot does not turn into its theoretical metal value automatically. Payable percentages, assay charges, treatment fees and other deductions can materially change the amount actually received.
Compare the entire settlement structure rather than one headline percentage. Two refiners can offer the same gold price while producing different net payouts because their deductions and payable terms differ.
It is the modeled amount payable after applying the settlement terms to contained gold.
No. Fees can make the effective payout lower.
Yes, using the same gold price and valuation basis.
