What it calculates

Estimate ask premium versus spot, bid discount versus spot, and the percentage gap between buying and selling.

Where it helps

Round-trip spread matters for coins, bars, storage products, and any quote where the buy price and sell price differ.

Use with care

Taxes, shipping, payment method, storage, product type, and dealer terms can change the final economics.
