We go through where to find the code, how the converter library and the laboratory XRF analysis work together, why code-based valuation is more accurate than a visual estimate, plus examples from the Opel Astra and Honda Civic. The guide is for motorists, garages and businesses who want to sell a converter at the right price.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"tldr\"><h2>Key points<\/h2><ul><li>A converter&#8217;s value in Finland is typically 50\u2013900 \u20ac, and the exact price is based on the precious metals inside: platinum, palladium and rhodium.<\/li><li>The converter&#8217;s code \u2014 the manufacturer or serial number \u2014 is stamped into the metal casing and is the key to accurate identification.<\/li><li>The code is matched against a converter library \u2014 at Metalaxis, a database of over 30,000 analysed units \u2014 which reveals the model&#8217;s PGM content.<\/li><li>The final value is confirmed by XRF analysis, which measures the actual precious-metal content.<\/li><li>Two identical-looking converters can be worth very different amounts, so the code and analysis are more accurate than a visual estimate.<\/li><li>An original converter is typically worth clearly more than an aftermarket part.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><p><b>Intro:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are looking for what a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">catalytic converter price by code<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is, the short answer is this: the code identifies the exact model of the converter, whose precious-metal content is already known, and the final price is calculated from that content and the day&#8217;s metal prices. In other words, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">catalytic converter price by code<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not a guess but a figure based on measurement. In this guide we go through how identification and valuation proceed in practice at Metalaxis.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the converter code and where do you find it?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The converter code is the manufacturer&#8217;s unique marking, stamped or cast directly into the converter&#8217;s metal casing. This <\/span><b>converter code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells which manufacturer and model the unit is \u2014 and that is exactly what determines how much precious metal the part contains. The code is usually found on the side of the casing or near the flange, sometimes on a separate metal plate. If the surface is rusty, the code can often be revealed by cleaning it carefully with a wire brush.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is worth noting the code before selling, because it speeds up valuation significantly. When you send the code and a few photos in advance, the buyer can give a preliminary estimate even before the part arrives. Without the code, identification relies on model images and dimensions, which is slower and less accurate.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7912\" src=\"https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code.png\" alt=\"converter-code\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code.png 2000w, https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code-1024x758.png 1024w, https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code-768x568.png 768w, https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/converter-code-1536x1137.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is the catalytic converter price determined by code?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The catalytic converter price by code is determined in four steps: the code is read from the casing, it is matched to a database, the database gives the model&#8217;s known PGM content, and the final value is confirmed by laboratory analysis and calculated according to the day&#8217;s metal prices. This way the final figure reflects the part&#8217;s real content rather than a general average.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice the price is formed from a formula that combines the recoverable amount of platinum, palladium and rhodium and these metals&#8217; current market price. Because metal rates fluctuate daily, the converter&#8217;s price also moves with the market. Metalaxis monitors the world-market prices of precious metals continuously and updates its purchase prices accordingly, so <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how the converter&#8217;s price is formed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stays transparent throughout the process.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a converter library and how does it work?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A converter library is a database that gathers code-specific information on a large number of different converter models. Metalaxis&#8217;s <\/span><b>converter library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains over 30,000 chemically analysed units, and for each one the manufacturer code, PGM content, model-specific images and exact lab results have been stored. When the code is entered into the library, the system finds the matching model and its known precious-metal content in an instant.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the decisive difference between a reliable and a vague buyer. A valuation that leans on the library is based on thousands of real analyses, whereas without a database the price easily remains a rough guess. The library does not, however, replace the final measurement \u2014 it gives the starting point that the XRF analysis confirms.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How XRF analysis confirms an accurate value<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRF analysis \u2014 X-ray fluorescence measurement \u2014 determines the converter&#8217;s real platinum, palladium and rhodium content at laboratory level. Although the code and library tell the model&#8217;s expected content, an individual part&#8217;s content can vary with age, condition and use. XRF removes the guesswork: it measures what the part actually contains.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is exactly why the code and the analysis complement each other. The code identifies the model quickly, and the analysis confirms the final amount. Thanks to this the estimate becomes both fast and accurate, and the seller can request an analysis report that documents what the price is based on.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Estimated price ranges for converters in Finland (2026)<\/b><\/p><table><thead><tr><th><b>Vehicle class<\/b><\/th><th><b>Price range (\u20ac)<\/b><\/th><th><b>PGM content (est.)<\/b><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small cars (e.g. Honda, Toyota)<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac50\u2013200<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3\u20135 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-size sedans (e.g. VW, BMW)<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac150\u2013400<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\u20138 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large SUVs and vans<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac300\u2013600<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8\u201312 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrids (e.g. Prius)<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac400\u2013900<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10\u201315 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diesel vehicles<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac100\u2013350<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4\u20138 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aftermarket converters<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac20\u201350<\/span><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\u20132 g<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: Metalaxis \u2014 estimates based on the January 2026 market situation.

The final figure, however, depends on the engine, the model year, and whether the part is original or aftermarket. Two Astras with different engine options can produce a different price even if the part looks externally the same \u2014 that is why the code, not just the model, decides the exact value. When you send the code and photos in advance, you get an estimate that fits the model quickly.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honda Civic catalytic converter<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Honda Civic catalytic converter belongs to the small-car class, whose typical range is about \u20ac50\u2013200. The petrol, hybrid and aftermarket versions, however, differ clearly in precious-metal content, so brand and model alone are not enough for an accurate price. The code tells which variant it is, and the analysis confirms the content. You&#8217;ll find more about model-specific pricing in the article <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/en\/how-much-is-a-catalytic-converter-worth-in-finland-in-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how much does a catalytic converter cost in Finland in 2026<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is code-based valuation more accurate than a visual one?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valuation based on the code and analysis is more accurate because it measures the real precious-metal content instead of classifying the part by appearance. Many buyers apply standard price lists or general estimates, which can undervalue units with above-average content. Two same-sized converters can contain very different amounts of recoverable metal, so a visual estimate often leaves money on the table.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference stands out between original and aftermarket parts. Aftermarket converters typically contain only 10\u201330 percent of the precious-metal content of an original part. That is why it is important to know, via the code, which one it is before you accept an offer. This is also part of responsible <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metalaxis.fi\/en\/catalytic-converter-recycling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">catalytic converter valuation in Finland<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where the price is based on the material&#8217;s content rather than a promise.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how you sell a converter using the code<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sales process is straightforward. First find the code on the casing and take clear photos of it and of the whole part. Send the code and photos to the buyer for a preliminary estimate, or bring the part directly to the facility for accurate XRF testing. After the analysis you get an offer, and once accepted, payment is made quickly by bank transfer. Collection can be arranged for larger batches.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always sell to a licensed recycling facility that is in the ELY Centre register. Converter thefts have become more common in Finland, so a reliable buyer follows anti-theft practices and may ask for an ID document as well as proof of ownership, such as a registration certificate or a scrapping certificate. Proper documentation protects the honest seller and keeps the transaction lawful.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What factors affect the price besides the code?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The code and analysis identify the precious-metal content, but other factors also affect the final price. Metalaxis assesses each batch as a whole, taking into account the following:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Precious-metal market price:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the day&#8217;s rate for platinum, palladium and rhodium is the single biggest factor affecting the price.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Original or aftermarket part:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an aftermarket converter typically contains only 10\u201330 percent of an original part&#8217;s precious-metal content.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Physical condition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an intact honeycomb keeps its value, whereas an emptied or damaged unit loses a large part of its recoverable content.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Batch size:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> larger batches can be processed more efficiently, and collection can be arranged for them.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding these factors helps you assess a converter&#8217;s value and avoid selling too cheaply. When the code, the analysis and the market price are combined, the price is based on the part&#8217;s real content.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do precious-metal prices affect a converter&#8217;s value?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A converter&#8217;s value is directly tied to the world-market prices of platinum, palladium and rhodium. When the rate of one metal rises, the value of a converter with the same content rises in the same proportion. In late 2025 and early 2026 precious-metal prices reached multi-year highs, which has raised converter prices compared with previous years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The auto industry is the largest consumer of precious metals, and converters account for a significant part of platinum and palladium demand. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgs.gov\/centers\/national-minerals-information-center\/platinum-group-metals-statistics-and-information\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Geological Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, recycling covers a considerable part of the supply of these metals, which keeps demand for used converters strong even as electric vehicles become more common. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2666790821000720\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, used auto catalysts contain even more precious metal than many natural ores, which makes them an exceptionally valuable recycling source.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summary<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The catalytic converter price by code rests on a clear chain: the code identifies the model, the converter library tells its expected precious-metal content, and the XRF analysis confirms the real content, which is priced according to the day&#8217;s metal prices. This way the estimate is both fast and accurate, and based on the material&#8217;s real value. When you want to know your own converter&#8217;s value, note the code and request an estimate from Metalaxis \u2014 you get transparent pricing and fast payment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-484c7bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"484c7bc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a3fd49\" data-id=\"1a3fd49\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35a8a0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35a8a0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FAQ<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1dc422c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1dc422c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bb7622\" data-id=\"4bb7622\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-634a986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"634a986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1041\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1041\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Where do I find the converter code?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1041\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1041\"><p>The converter code is stamped or cast into the metal casing, usually on the side of the casing or near the flange, sometimes on a separate metal plate.
