Jewellery making charges calculator
Total jewellery price including making charges, as a percentage or fixed amount.
Estimate only — not a jeweller's quote.
Need today's 24K price? See the gold rate page — it separates local sarafa rates from spot-based estimates.
How it's calculated
Value = weight (g) × 24K price per gram × (karat ÷ 24). 1 tola = 11.6638038 g; 1 troy oz = 31.1034768 g. Making charges added as % of metal value plus a fixed amount.
- Purity ratio is theoretical (karat/24); actual jewellery purity may be lower
- Jewellers may deduct wastage when buying back

Questions
What are typical making charges?
They vary widely with design and shop — machine-made pieces are cheaper than handcrafted ones. Always ask for making charges separately from the gold price.
Are making charges refunded when I sell?
No. When you sell jewellery back you normally receive only the gold value, minus any buy-back deduction.
