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
