Current Tin Price and Tin Rate with Chart
Tin is the most expensive of the industrial metals on this site — per kilogram roughly ten to twenty times aluminium — and at the same time the one with the smallest market: a few hundred thousand tonnes a year, against double-digit millions for aluminium. A small market with concentrated supply reacts violently, and that is exactly what the chart shows. Today tin sits above all in the solder of circuit boards and in the tinplate of food cans; historically it made the Bronze Age possible. Here you will find the current tin price per tonne in euros and US dollars, with the chart, the performance table and a lookup for any past date. The series on this page begins in 2023; several stretches of the earlier data from our provider did not survive a comparison against published prices and have deliberately been left out. The guide below covers the trade routes of antiquity, lead-free solder, tin pest — and why figures for tin production are less certain than for other metals.
Here you see the current Tin price per tonne in your selected currency, including daily change in percent and absolute.
Below you find the current exchange rate and the price in the second currency. At the bottom are the prices per gram, troy ounce and kilogram.

The Metal That Made the Bronze Age Possible
Tin is one of the oldest metals in use at all, and it owes its importance not to itself but to what it does with copper: an addition of about a tenth of tin turns soft copper into distinctly harder bronze. A whole epoch is named after it.
The catch was availability. Copper ores lie in many regions, tin ores in few — in Cornwall, in the Ore Mountains, in South-East Asia, later in Bolivia and Nigeria. Trade routes thousands of kilometres long arose in antiquity for no other purpose than to fetch tin.
Little has changed about that distribution. Tin is still mined in comparatively few countries, and that makes the market sensitive to disruption in single regions.
Today It Sits Above All in Solder
The largest customer is electronics. Practically every circuit board contains soldered joints, and those consist predominantly of tin — since the European restriction of hazardous substances in electrical equipment, as a rule without the lead that used to be mixed in.
That switch raised tin demand: lead-free solder contains more tin than the old tin-lead solder did. An environmental rule has thus shifted a commodity market without that having been its purpose.
Beside it stands the second classic application: tinplate. Thinly tinned steel is the food can — the tin protects the steel, and unlike lead it is safe for food. The name tin can conceals the fact that everything depends on a wafer-thin layer of tin.
Tin Pest and Tin Cry
Tin has two peculiarities that no other metal in common use shows in this form. The first: bend a tin bar and it creaks audibly. The so-called tin cry arises because the crystals inside shift against one another.
The second has greater consequences. Below about 13 degrees Celsius the stable form is not the familiar silvery metal but a grey, powdery tin — and the transition spreads outwards from wherever it starts. Objects of pure tin can fall apart in prolonged cold. Historic organ pipes and pewter figures have been lost this way; in practice, alloying additions prevent it today.
Neither matters for the price; the second does matter for storage. Pure tin does not belong in permanent cold.
A Small Market With Large Swings
Tin is the most expensive of the industrial metals carried here — per kilogram roughly ten to twenty times aluminium. At the same time the quantity mined is small: it lies in the region of a few hundred thousand tonnes a year, while aluminium is moved in double-digit millions.
A small market reacts more violently. If a larger mine fails or a producing country changes its export rules, the price moves quickly and far. In our series, which begins in 2023, the range runs from under 20,000 to just under 58,000 US dollars a tonne.
Added to that is the fact that a part of production comes from small-scale mining, which is harder to record than industrial mines. Figures on production quantities are therefore less certain for tin than for the large industrial metals.
