Quick answers
What is the silver price in the UK today?
The live number is at the top of this page, in British pounds per gram. It is the international silver spot price (US dollars per troy ounce) multiplied by the dollar to GBP exchange rate and divided by 31.1035 grams per ounce.
Why is the price at my local shop different?
A shop adds its own margin, and jewellery adds making charges, so a shop price is higher than the metal value shown here.
Which exchange rate do you use?
The European Central Bank euro reference rates, crossed to the US dollar. The ECB publishes them each working day, and the page uses the latest ones.
Is this the price I will get if I sell?
No. This is the value of the metal. A buyer pays a share of it. Use it to check a quote, not as a quote.
