About Silver Investment Return Calculator

Silver is priced per kilogram and is considerably more volatile than gold because industrial demand drives a large share of consumption. The same annualised return arithmetic applies, but the ride is far rougher.

Formula

Silver return

Gain = (sell - buy) × kg; CAGR = (value/cost)^(1/years) - 1
