Estimate logic

How this jewellery cost estimate works

This estimate uses values entered in the calculator; it does not verify a seller's quote.

Select gold or silver, then enter a rate, purity and weight consistent with the seller's written quote. Add only the jarti or wastage, making charge and tax shown there. If the quote and rate use different weight units, compare them first with the tola, gram, ana and lal converter. This calculator does not verify a seller's figures or include stones and discounts in its arithmetic.

For gold jewellery, these four hypothetical jarti and making-charge pairs show how changing those inputs affects an estimate. They are arithmetic examples, not Nepal market averages, recommended fees or charges assigned to any GoldNepal design:

  • Simple finish: 3% jarti and 6.5% making charge.
  • Chain or ring: 4.5% jarti and 12% making charge.
  • Detailed or stone-set design: 7.5% jarti and 18.5% making charge.
  • Heavy bridal design: 11.5% jarti and 28.5% making charge.

Keep the rate, purity and weight unchanged as you compare those examples, then replace both percentages with the seller's actual terms. Silver workmanship may be priced differently; do not use these gold examples as a silver benchmark. Ask separately about stones, discounts and any other line the calculator does not cover. The result is not a seller invoice, appraisal or final price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for checking jewellery bills before payment.

How does this jewellery estimate work?

Choose gold or silver and enter the metal rate, purity and weight. Add jarti or wastage, making charge and tax only when they appear on the seller's written quote. The result is an estimate from those inputs, not a seller invoice or independently verified price.

What does jarti or wastage mean on a quote?

Some jewellery quotes use terms such as jarti or wastage. Ask the seller to explain what the term means for that item and how the amount is calculated; this page does not set a standard percentage.

Is wastage the same as making charge?

They may appear as separate line items in a quote, but their meaning and calculation should be confirmed with the seller. Enter the values as shown and compare the written breakdown.

What should I check when comparing jewellery quotes?

Compare the stated metal rate, purity, weight, stone treatment, added charges, discounts and taxes line by line. Ask for clarification wherever the quote does not show how an amount was derived. For a worked breakdown, read the jewellery price calculation guide and use the quote checklist before you pay.

If a quote lists jarti or wastage, see what jarti or wastage means and ask the seller to explain the basis for this item.

Which metal and purity should I choose?

Choose the metal and purity stated for the item or written quote. Check the seller's documentation and any hallmark; this calculator estimates cost and does not assess quality or suitability.
