Paydirt ROI Calculator – Work Out If Your Gold Dirt Was Worth It

The Fun and the Facts Behind Gold Paydirt

Gold prospecting isn’t just about what you pull from the pan — it’s about the thrill, the challenge, and the satisfaction of finding colour in the dirt. But let’s be honest, sometimes you want to know if the gold you’ve recovered stacks up against what you paid for the bag. That’s where our Paydirt ROI Calculator comes in.

Our easy-to-use tool takes the guesswork out of the equation. In a few clicks, you can see the actual return on investment (ROI) from your gold paydirt purchase — using the current Aussie spot price per gram as your benchmark. Whether you’re a weekend fossicker or a serious paydirt buyer, this calculator helps you track value over time and make smarter buying choices.

Why You Need a Paydirt ROI Calculator

1. Instant, Accurate Calculations

No more mental maths or messy spreadsheets. Just enter the price you paid (including shipping), the weight of gold you recovered, and the current gold price per gram, and the calculator does the rest.

2. Tailored for Australian Prospectors

The tool is pre-set with the Australian spot price per gram, so you’re working with real, local market data. If prices shift, you can update the number instantly.

3. Track Your Prospecting Wins

Keep a record of your paydirt purchases and gold finds to see patterns over time. This helps you identify the suppliers and types of dirt that deliver the best results.

How the Paydirt ROI Calculator Works

The formula is simple:

• Gold Value = Gold Weight (grams) × Gold Price per Gram (AUD)

• Paydirt Price = Total cost, including shipping

Example:

• Price Paid: $195

• Gold Price per Gram: $168.50

• Gold Found: 1g

• ROI = ($168.50 ÷ $195) × 100 = 86.4%

This means you recovered about 86% of your purchase value in gold. The rest? That’s the price of the fun, the excitement, and the chance of hitting a monster nugget.

The $30 Fun Factor

We’ve added a unique twist to the calculator — after seeing your ROI, we’ll ask:
“Did you have $30 worth of fun?”
You can click Yes or No, but we already know the stats: 98.5% of people say yes!

Because at the end of the day, paydirt isn’t just about the gold in the bag — it’s about the stories, the adrenaline, and that first glint in the pan.
