Platinum fineness grades explained
Like all precious metals, platinum is classified by its purity level, measured in parts per thousand. Here are the main grades you'll encounter in the market:
- 999 — Fine Platinum: 99.9% pure platinum, the highest commercially available grade. Used for investment bullion bars, official platinum coins (e.g. Canadian Maple Leaf, American Platinum Eagle), and as the global benchmark for platinum pricing.
- 950 — Jewelry Platinum: 95% platinum alloyed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for added durability. The world's most widely used standard for jewelry, platinumware, rings, necklaces, and hallmarked items.
- 900 — Medical Platinum: 90% purity, historically used to mint official circulating coins in the United States and Europe before the mid-20th century.
- 850 — Industrial Platinum: 85% purity, traditionally common in Central and Eastern Europe for cutlery, decorative platinumware, and antique objects.
- 750: 75% platinum content, found in some lower-grade platinum-plated products and accessories.
How does the Platinum Price tool work?
The tool fetches the current troy ounce spot price of fine platinum (999) in US dollars from international commodity data sources. It then divides by 31.1034768 (the number of grams in a troy ounce) to get the price per gram. Current foreign exchange rates are applied to convert the USD gram price into any of the 170+ supported currencies. Fineness prices (950, 900, etc.) are calculated by multiplying the fine gram price by the corresponding purity ratio.
What factors affect the price of platinum?
Platinum's price is influenced by a unique combination of monetary and industrial factors. On the monetary side, it acts as a store of value and safe-haven asset alongside gold — rising during periods of high inflation or economic uncertainty. On the industrial side, platinum has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, making it indispensable in solar photovoltaic panels, consumer electronics, electric vehicle batteries, and medical devices. This dual demand profile means platinum prices can be significantly more volatile than gold. Other key factors include the strength of the US dollar, global mining output, central bank policies, and speculative trading volumes on exchanges like COMEX and LBMA.
Platinum vs. Gold — Key differences
While both are precious metals used as stores of value, platinum trades at a much lower price per ounce than gold — typically between 60 and 80 times cheaper. This makes platinum more accessible for small investors. However, platinum is also far more industrially consumed (over 75% of annual demand comes from industry), which makes its price more sensitive to economic cycles. The Gold-to-Platinum ratio is a commonly used indicator to assess the relative value of both metals at any point in time.
