Gold jewellery price calculator
What a piece actually costs at the counter — metal, making charge and 13% VAT, from the weight in tola, lal, aana or grams.
Hallmark gold is Rs 284,000/tola and silver is Rs 4,350/tola as published by FENEGOSIDA on 2026-08-03. The rate is pre-filled below and stays editable, because what a shop quotes is rarely the published figure to the rupee.
What you are buying
| Metal (1 tola @ Rs 260,333) | Rs 260,333 |
| Making charge (12%) | Rs 31,240 |
| Subtotal | Rs 291,573 |
| VAT (13%) | Rs 37,905 |
| Total | Rs 329,478 |
An estimate, not a quotation. Shops differ on making charges and on whether wastage is quoted separately, and a rate moves during the day.
How the bill is put together
- Metal. Weight in tola × the rate for that purity. The published rate is for fine gold, so a 22-karat piece is charged on 22/24 of it.
- Making charge (jyala). A percentage of the metal cost, commonly 8–20% depending on the design. Ask for it as a figure before agreeing.
- Wastage. Some shops quote this on top of the making charge; many fold it in. Enter it only if yours quotes it separately.
- VAT at 13%. Charged on the metal and the making charge together — not on the metal alone, which is the mistake that makes an estimate come out below the bill.
Nepali gold weights
| 1 tola | 11.6638 g | the unit rates are quoted in |
| 1 aana | 0.729 g | 1 tola = 16 aana |
| 1 lal | 0.117 g | 1 tola = 100 lal |
| 10 gram | 10 g | ≈ 0.857 tola |
Lal and aana are both fractions of a tola, and they are easy to mix up: a lal is a hundredth, an aana a sixteenth.
