Gold Jewellery Price Formula in Nepal: Quick Bill Check
Use the gold rate, weight and karat to estimate metal value, then check each charge on a seller's written jewellery quote.

Quick answer: Start with a dated 24K gold rate, the item's stated karat and its net gold weight. Calculate the metal value, then check the seller's written lines for jarti or wastage, making charge, stones, tax and any other costs. The result helps you compare a quote; it is not the seller's final offer.
Calculate the metal value
- Convert the 24K rate and weight to the same unit. For grams, divide the per-tola rate by 11.6638038.
- Adjust for purity: multiply the fine-gold rate by the stated karat divided by 24.
- Multiply that purity-adjusted rate by the net gold weight.
Check the source and effective time on the Nepal gold-rate page. If a quote uses ana, lal or another unit, use the weight converter before comparing totals.
Check the rest of the bill
Ask which amount each percentage is applied to. A 5% making charge on metal value is not the same as a 5% charge on metal value plus wastage. Fixed labour fees and stone prices need their own lines. Do not enter a per-gram or flat fee into a percentage field just to make a calculator total match.
Open the jewellery making-charge calculator with the figures from your own quote. For a worked 22K calculation with clearly labelled illustrative numbers, read the full jewellery-price guide.
Before accepting a quote
- Confirm the rate date, currency and weight unit.
- Ask for the stated purity and both gross and net gold weight when stones or other non-gold parts are present.
- Request the amount and calculation base for jarti or wastage, making charge, tax and other fees.
- Check the written final total, availability, payment and delivery terms with the seller.
Keep both quotes in the same units and compare each line, not only the final number. The quote checklist gives you a compact list to take to a shop or share with a family member.
