Platinum trades nearly around the clock across global markets, opening Sunday evening and running to Friday evening UK time, with short daily breaks. The live price can therefore move at almost any hour.

How is the platinum price calculated?

The platinum price is set by global supply and demand, with heavy influence from industrial use in catalytic converters and limited mine supply. It is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce and referenced against a daily LBMA benchmark.

How much platinum is there in the world?

Platinum is extremely scarce, with annual global production only a small fraction of gold's and the vast majority mined in just a few countries, principally South Africa. This rarity is a key reason platinum is valued so highly.

Does platinum price increase like gold?

Not always. While platinum can follow gold during broad market shifts, it is driven far more by industrial demand, especially from the car industry, so the two metals can move quite differently depending on conditions.

What is platinum bullion?

Platinum bullion is investment grade platinum in bar or coin form, valued by weight and purity rather than design. It is typically fine platinum at 999 purity, such as platinum Britannias or minted bars.

We non-destructively test and value your platinum the day it arrives, with payment sent within 20 minutes of you accepting our valuation.

How do I send my platinum to GoldSell?

Order your free Platinum Selling Pack. It has everything you need to sell your platinum with us, including a pre-paid, fully insured Royal Mail Special Delivery envelope. We're partnered with Royal Mail so you can post your platinum via the UK's most secure postal service, tracked from the Post Office counter to our vault and insured up to £2,500.

How do you test my platinum?

Every item is tested on Trading Standards-approved XRF equipment, three separate times, to read its precious-metal content precisely, down to the microgram. It's completely non-destructive, so nothing is melted, scratched or altered, and a missing or worn hallmark makes no difference.

What is XRF testing?

XRF (X-ray fluorescence) reveals the exact purity of your platinum without damaging it in any way. Our triple-XRF process removes estimation and guesswork entirely, so your valuation is based on the true, measured precious-metal content of your item.

What if my platinum contains diamonds or gemstones?

Send your item exactly as it is, and stones stay set in place. Significant diamonds or gemstones are valued at live market rates and added to your offer. For smaller stones, our valuers (over 75 years' combined experience) deliberately over-estimate the stones' weight and value the metal around them, so you're never short-changed on your platinum. And if those stones weigh less than we allowed for, that difference is ours to absorb, never yours.

Understanding The Platinum Price

The Platinum Price, Explained.

Everything you need to understand the live platinum price, what sets it, why it rises and falls, and what your platinum is worth today.

How much is platinum worth?

Platinum is currently worth £1,223.21 per troy ounce, shown live on the chart above and updating in real time. Platinum is a rare precious metal, with global production far smaller than gold, which underpins its value.

What is the platinum price today?

The platinum price today is £1,223.21 per troy ounce, reflecting the current global market rate. You can switch the unit shown between per gram, per ounce and per kilo to suit your items.

What is the platinum price per gram?

The platinum price today is £39.33 per gram, calculated from the troy ounce price divided by 31.1035 grams. You can switch the chart above between per gram, per ounce and per kilo to suit the platinum you hold.

What is the platinum price per kilo?

One kilogram of platinum is currently worth £39,327.10, based on the live troy ounce price. A kilo contains 32.15 troy ounces, making this unit most relevant to larger platinum bars.

Why is platinum cheaper than gold?

Although platinum is rarer than gold, its price is driven heavily by industrial demand, particularly from the automotive sector for catalytic converters. When that demand softens, platinum can trade below gold despite its scarcity, which is not always the case historically.

Is platinum worth more than gold?

At times platinum has traded well above gold, and at other times below it, as the two metals respond to different demand drivers. Platinum is more reliant on industrial use, while gold is driven more by investment and safe haven demand.

Will the platinum price go up?

Platinum's outlook depends on industrial demand, supply from major producers like South Africa, and the broader move towards different vehicle technologies. As with all metals, future prices cannot be guaranteed, though tight supply can support values.

Platinum is genuinely rare, and current market conditions mean it can be a strong time to sell. GoldSell buys platinum jewellery, coins and bullion, paying a top price through a free, fully insured Platinum Selling Pack in three simple steps.
