How to Calculate Gold Price

Step 1: Check purity of gold

  • 24K = 99.9% pure gold
  • 22K = 91.6% pure gold
  • 18K = 75% pure gold

Step 2: Note current market rate

  • Example: 24K gold = ₹14,918 per gram
  • Rates change daily based on global market

Step 3: Decide weight of gold

  • Measure in grams (e.g., 5g, 10g, 50g)
  • Jewellery weight includes design + wastage

Step 4: Basic formula

  • Gold Value = (Gold Rate per gram × Weight)
  • Example: ₹14,918 × 10g = ₹1,49,180

Step 5: Add making charges

  • Usually 5% to 25% depending on jewellery design
  • Handcrafted jewellery = higher charges

Step 6: Add GST

  • GST is 3% on total value (gold + making charges)

Step 7: Final price calculation

  • Final Cost = Gold Value + Making Charges + GST

Step 8: Compare before buying

  • Check rates across jewellers
  • Compare hallmark certification and purity

Disclaimer: Gold rates are indicative and exclude GST/TCS/levies. Final purchase prices include 3% GST and making charges. Please verify with local jewellers for exact pricing.
