In this study, photometric metallicity and absolute magnitude calibrations were derived using F-G spectral type main-sequence stars in the Solar neighbourhood with precise spectroscopic, photometric and Gaia astrometric data for UBV photometry. The sample consists of 504 main-sequence stars covering the temperature, surface gravity and colour index intervals 5300<Teff4 (cgs) and 0.3<(B-V)0<0.8mag, respectively. Stars with relative trigonometric parallax errors {sigma}{pi}/{pi}<=0.01 were preferred from Gaia DR2 data for the estimation of their M_V absolute magnitudes. In order to obtain calibrations, (U-B)0 and (B-V)0 colour indices of stars were preferred and a multi-variable second order equation was used. Calibrations are valid for main-sequence stars in the metallicity and absolute magnitude ranges -2<[Fe/H]<0.5dex and 2.5<M_V<6mag, respectively. The mean value and standard deviation of the differences between original and estimated values for the metal abundance and absolute magnitude are =0.00+/-0.11dex and =0.00+/-0.22mag, respectively. In this work, it has been shown that more precise iron abundance and absolute magnitude values were obtained with the new calibrations, compared to previous calibrations in the literature.
