How the calculation works

1. Purity factor

Today's 24K rate is multiplied by a purity factor — 0.916 for 22K, 0.750 for 18K, 0.583 for 14K — to get the effective rate per gram for your gold.

2. Making charges

Most jewellers charge making either as a percentage of the gold value (typical: 8–25%) or as a flat ₹/g. Heavier or hand-crafted pieces usually cost more.

3. Wastage

An optional charge for the gold lost during crafting. Many modern brands now include this inside making charges and quote 0% wastage.

4. GST & Hallmark

GST is 3% on (gold + making + wastage). BIS hallmarking fee is a fixed ₹45 per article (you can edit it if your jeweller charges differently).
