Online Scrap Calculator India: Estimate Scrap Value for AC, Metals, E‑Waste & Industrial Items (800+ Types)
If you've ever tried selling scrap, you already know the biggest problem: pricing feels unclear. One person tells you one rate, another gives a totally different number. That's exactly why an Online Scrap Calculator is useful. It gives you a realistic estimate before you book a pickup—so you can sell scrap with more confidence.
What an Online Scrap Calculator Actually Does
A scrap calculator is not magic—and it's not a final bill. Think of it as a smart estimator that uses three basic inputs:
1. Item Type
1.5 ton split AC, bare bright copper wire, PLC module, server rack
2. Quantity
kg, ton, or piece
3. Local Rate Logic
City demand + category pricing + pickup practicality
The output is an estimated scrap value that helps you understand roughly what your scrap is worth, avoid selling valuable scrap under a generic category, and decide if it's the right time to sell. Final price always depends on actual weight, condition, and verification at pickup.
What Affects Scrap Value (Simple, Real-World Factors)
Scrap pricing changes because scrap is basically a raw material market. Here are the biggest practical drivers:
1) Metal Content
Copper (high value), Brass/Bronze (high), Aluminium (mid-high), Stainless steel (varies by grade), Iron/steel (lower per kg, but common in large quantity)
2) Component Mix
Copper coils, compressors, motors, PCBs, aluminium fins, steel frames. Two ACs can look similar but have different copper coil design and compressor weight.
3) Condition & Completeness
Scrap is valued higher when it's complete (compressor and coil present), not heavily contaminated, and not mixed with unrelated waste.
4) City-wise Demand
Rates differ by city due to transport cost, recycler capacity, and local supply/demand.
Scrap Categories Covered (What You Can Calculate)
1) Air Conditioner (AC) Scrap Value
Window AC Types
- Window AC (manual / digital)
- Window AC (inverter / non-inverter)
- Smart window AC (WiFi models)
- Commercial / heavy duty window AC
- Compressor type variations
Split AC Categories
- Split AC (non-inverter / inverter)
