Krissa, if you access the Rio Grande website, current prices are listed right at the top of the home page.

Remember the market price or spot price is a theoretical price for clean .999 fine silver in an "unformed" state. Sterling is .975, so technically would sell for a bit less, but there is also a fabrication charge for making it into sheet and wire (or findings, or whatever). Actually, even for making it into casting grain.... so usually if you price sterling at silver market prices, you're still going to be below the wholesale price for whatever it is you're selling. Good luck!

The Rio site has a good description of how you can estimate the amount you will get from what you send in. Also remember that any scale you use will likely measure imperial ounces. Silver prices are for troy ounces. You can google a conversion rate.
