How the bill is built
Gold value
Weight × purity × today's 24K rate. 22K gold is 91.6% pure, 18K is 75% and 14K is 58.5%.
Making charges
The jeweller's labour, as a percentage of the gold value, a rate per gram or a flat amount. Plain chains and coins cost least to make; intricate and handmade work costs most.
GST
3% GST applies to the whole jewellery bill. Our rate already includes it on the gold, so the calculator adds 3% on the making charge.
Selling or exchanging old gold? Jewellers test the purity first and usually pay a little less than the gold value. Gold price history shows how the price has moved.
Frequently asked questions
How is the price of gold jewellery calculated?
Weight in grams × purity (0.916 for 22K) × today's 24K rate gives the gold value. Add the making charge (a percentage, a rate per gram or a flat amount) and 3% GST on the making charge. Today's 24K rate is ₹14,984 per gram, including 15% import duty and 3% GST.
What is the GST on gold jewellery?
3% on the value of the jewellery, including the making charge, when you buy from a jeweller. The 5% rate you may see quoted applies to job work, when you give your own gold to a goldsmith and pay only for the making.
What is the price of 1 sovereign (8 grams) of 22K gold today?
About ₹1,09,803 before making charges. A sovereign or pavan, the unit used in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, is 8 grams.
What is the price of 1 tola gold today?
One tola is 11.6638 grams, so 1 tola of 24K gold costs about ₹1,74,771 and 22K about ₹1,60,090, before making charges.
How much are making charges on gold?
They vary by design and jeweller: machine-made chains and coins carry the lowest charges, handmade and antique designs the highest. Ask for the charge separately from the gold value and compare shops; enter it above to see the effect on the bill.
How do I check the purity of gold jewellery?
Look for the BIS hallmark: the BIS logo, the purity grade (for example 22K916) and a 6-digit HUID code, which you can verify in the BIS Care app. Hallmarking with HUID is mandatory for gold jewellery in most districts of India.
