Palladium price per gram in pounds
Palladium is the youngest of the four precious metals in British hallmarking: UK hallmarking law was amended to give it its own standards, and an assay office now marks it at 500, 950 or 999 thousandths. This calculator reads the spot price of a troy ounce of palladium in pounds from gold-api.com, shows when it was set, and gives the price per gram at each standard and the metal value of a piece of the weight you type. Palladium is used for wedding bands, as an alloy in white gold, and in some bullion coins and bars. It is lighter than platinum, so a palladium band weighs less than a platinum one of the same size. Pieces under 1 g are exempt from hallmarking. Gold by Carat is an independent site, not a palladium buyer or a dealer.

The legal standards
UK hallmarking law lists three standards for palladium: 500, 950, 999. The hallmarking law exempts palladium articles under 1 g. A piece marked 500 holds half the palladium of a 999 piece of the same weight, so the standard matters as much as the scales.
Selling palladium
Not every high street buyer quotes for palladium, so you may need to ask specifically or use a bullion dealer or refiner. Check that the buyer has identified the metal correctly from the hallmark: 950 could be palladium or platinum, and only the assay office mark next to it tells you which. Then compare the per-gram offer with the value per gram above.
The platinum page covers the other white precious metal, and the hallmark decoder values any piece from its mark and weight.
What the number stamped on a piece means
Example: a 375 mark means 37.5% pure gold
£373.58
This is 9ct gold. The value above is for 10 g at today’s price.
| Pure metal in the piece | 3.750 g |
| Value of 1 g of the piece | £37.36 |
| Must a piece this heavy carry a hallmark? | Yes, when a business sells it as gold: 1 g or more |
Old, foreign or handmade pieces often have no British hallmark: that does not make them fake, and you may still sell them. A buyer will test the metal.
