What the defaults give
10 grams of 22K gold at ₹6,000 per gram costs ₹62,315.
That is ₹55,000 for the metal after the purity adjustment, ₹5,500 in making charges and ₹1,815 of GST.
The formula
Metal value = weight × rate per gram × karat ÷ 24
Making charges = metal value × making %
GST = (metal value + making) × 3%
Total = metal + making + GST
The rate you enter should be the 24K quote per gram, because the karat step scales it down. If your jeweller quotes ₹6,000 for 22K directly, set purity to 24K and enter that rate instead, or the metal value will be reduced twice.
Worked examples
10 g, 22K, ₹6,000/g, 10% making → metal ₹55,000, making ₹5,500, GST ₹1,815, total ₹62,315
10 g, 24K, same rate and making → metal ₹60,000, making ₹6,000, GST ₹1,980, total ₹67,980
10 g, 18K, same rate and making → metal ₹45,000, making ₹4,500, GST ₹1,485, total ₹50,985
10 g, 14K, same rate and making → metal ₹35,000, making ₹3,500, GST ₹1,155, total ₹39,655
10 g, 22K, no making charge → metal ₹55,000, GST ₹1,650, total ₹56,650
Where the bill really moves
Making charges are the least standard part of the quote. Hand-finished bridal work can run 20–35%, machine-stamped chains 8–12%, and plain coins or bars near zero. Because GST is charged on metal plus making, a 20% making charge adds 0.6% of the metal value in tax as well.
Purity is the second lever. 22K is 91.7% gold, 18K is 75%, 14K is 58.3%, so the same weight at the same base rate loses value in a straight line as karat falls. Nothing about the setting, stones or design is recovered at resale.
What the total leaves out
Hallmarking and assay fees, wastage charged as a percentage of weight, stone value, and any exchange or buy-back discount are not in the figure. Some states also add a small GST component on making separately, though the 3% rate on the whole bill is the common treatment.
Resale is usually quoted against the day's 22K or 24K rate minus a deduction, so the retail total you see here is a purchase price, not a liquidation value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 10 grams of 22K gold cost at ₹6,000 a gram?
₹62,315 with 10% making charges and 3% GST. The metal itself is ₹55,000 after the 22/24 purity adjustment.
Should I enter the 22K or 24K rate?
Enter the 24K rate, because the calculator applies the karat fraction itself. Entering a 22K quote with 22K selected reduces the value twice.
Is GST charged on making charges?
Yes. GST at 3% applies to the metal value plus making charges, so higher labour content also raises the tax line.
How much does 18K gold cost for the same weight?
At ₹6,000 a gram, 10 g of 18K is ₹45,000 of metal, ₹4,500 making and ₹1,485 GST, for ₹50,985 — about 18% less than 22K.
Why is the resale value lower than this total?
Retail includes making charges and GST that are not returned on resale. Buy-back is typically based on the metal rate with a deduction for purity testing and melting.
