Worked Example — 10g of 22K (916) Gold Jewellery at ₹6,000/gram with 10% Making Charges

₹67,980.00
Gold Value: 10g × ₹6,000 = ₹60,000+Making (10%): ₹6,000+GST (3% on ₹66k): ₹1,980

Final invoice payable: ₹60,000 (Gold) + ₹6,000 (Making) + ₹1,980 (GST) = ₹67,980.00.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • 22K gold rate is not simply 24K rate × 0.916 — enter the rate your jeweller actually quoted. 24K and 22K gold rates are published independently by bullion associations and local jewellers, not derived through a fixed mathematical fraction. Always enter the specific market rate quoted for your purity rather than manually calculating one from 24K.
  • GST is charged on gold value plus making charges combined, not gold value alone. Under Indian GST tax rules, the 3% precious metals tax applies to the combined subtotal of pure gold value and manufacturing/making charges. Calculating GST on the raw gold alone understates the final payable bill.
  • Check whether making charges are quoted as a percentage or a flat ₹/gram fee. Jewellers quote making charges either as a percentage of the gold's base value (typically 8% to 25%) or as a fixed rupee fee per gram (e.g. ₹250 to ₹600/g). Ensure you select the matching calculation mode.
  • Carat purity indicates gold fineness, not physical weight. Carat (or Karat) measures the proportion of pure gold in an alloy out of 24 parts (24K = 99.9%, 22K = 91.6%, 18K = 75.0%). Weight is measured in metric grams, sovereigns (8g), or tolas (11.66g).

Frequently Asked Questions

Gold jewellery billing follows three sequential steps: first, multiply your jewellery weight in grams by the prevailing gold rate for your purity to find the base gold value. Second, add making charges (quoted either as a percentage or flat fee per gram) to find the subtotal. Third, apply 3% GST on that combined subtotal to arrive at the final payable invoice amount.
