ScrapTrade's scrap price calculator gives Australian sellers a fast, free way to estimate scrap value before they list, and gives traders anywhere in the world the same tool in their own currency. Search a material or use the calculator to turn a weight and a grade into an instant, AI-powered price estimate.
Calculate scrap price by kg, by tonne, or by pound: switch units instantly, no re-entry needed.
20 currencies supported, from AUD and USD to INR, CNY, and AED: scrap prices by currency, converted live.
10 countries selectable: Australia, the US, UK, India, China, UAE, Singapore, Canada, South Africa, Malaysia.
Prices are generated by AI and refreshed at least once a day: a live scrap metal calculator, not a fixed list.
Most scrap metal calculators show one price list in one currency and stop there. ScrapTrade set out to build the first scrap trading platform to combine AI-powered price estimates with genuine multi-currency, multi-country conversion in a single calculator: not one figure translated into different symbols, but real country and currency selection across 10 countries and 20 currencies, refreshed daily.
It's the same principle behind the rest of ScrapTrade: one global platform, an Australian home base, and pricing that means the same thing whether you're checking AUD per tonne in Sydney or USD per kg in Singapore. Once you've priced your material, you can list it on the marketplace or check what similar lots are trading for in live auctions.
It's a free online scrap metal calculator that estimates what your ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, paper and cardboard, or e-waste scrap is worth. Pick a material, set your quantity, choose kilograms, tonnes, or pounds, and it returns an instant scrap value estimate in your local currency, no sign-up required.
Yes. ScrapTrade's scrap price calculator uses AI to generate indicative global scrap prices, refreshed at least once a day, with a fixed reference price used only as a fallback if the AI service is temporarily unavailable. As an AI-powered scrap calculator, it reflects current estimated market conditions rather than a single static list, which is why prices can shift from day to day.
Yes: ScrapTrade is an Australian-based global marketplace, and the calculator defaults to AUD and Australia. As a scrap price calculator for Australia, it covers every material category Australian scrap yards buy (ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, cardboard, and e-waste) and works exactly the same for sellers trading internationally.
Yes. Switch units at any time: the calculator recalculates your estimated scrap value by kg, by tonne, or by pound instantly, with no need to re-enter your material or quantity.
Yes: this is the part that makes it different from a typical scrap metal price calculator. Choose from 20 currencies and 10 countries (Australia, the US, UK, India, China, UAE, Singapore, Canada, South Africa, and Malaysia) and it instantly converts scrap prices by currency and by location, so you're comparing like-for-like value wherever you're trading from.
The ScrapTrade Price Index is our running set of indicative scrap metal prices, updated daily across every material category we track. We call it 'live' in the sense that it's continuously refreshed, not a static price sheet printed once a month, but it's still an estimate, not a locked-in trading price. Always confirm with a buyer or seller through the marketplace before you commit to a deal.
