Contextual Overview
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "When a man consecrates by a vow certain persons to the LORD, according to your valuation, 3 if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels; 5 and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels; 6 and if from a month old up to five years old, then your valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver; 7 and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 8 "But if he is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him; according to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him. 9 "If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering to the LORD, all that anyone gives to the LORD shall be holy. 10 He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he at all exchanges animal for animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if it [be] a female,.... That is, of the same age, full twenty years of age, and not more than sixty:
then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels; about three pounds ten shillings of our money, the price of a servant, Exodus 21:32; the reason of this difference of estimation between a man and a woman is, because the woman is the weaker vessel, and her labour and service of less importance and worth, such as spinning, washing, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The relative values of the persons appear to be regulated according to an estimate of the probable value of their future work:
| Ages | Male | Female |
| From a month to five years of age | 5 shekels | 3 shekels |
| From five years to twenty of age | 20 shekels | 10 shekels |
| From forty years to sixty of age | 50 shekels | 30 shekels |
| Sixty years of age and older: | 15 shekels | 10 shekels |
As regards the shekel of the sanctuary, see Exodus 38:24 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 27:4. And if it be a female — The woman, at the same age, vowed unto the Lord, might be redeemed for thirty shekels, 4£. 10s. sterling, a little more than one half of the value of the man; for this obvious reason, that a woman, if employed, could not be of so much use in the service of the sanctuary as the man, and was therefore of much less value.
