Note:
Karat (K) = gold purity measure.
Carat (ct) = gemstone weight unit (1 ct = 0.2 g). These are completely different.
Formula: Purity % = (Karat ÷ 24) × 100
Formula: Gold Value → + Making Charges + Extra → Subtotal → + Tax → − Discount → Total Payable
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about this tool
To find the value, you must first determine the gold content. Pure gold is 24K (99.9%).
-
Formula: $\text{Gold Value} = (\text{Total Weight} \times (\text{Karat} / 24) \times \text{Current 24K Gold Rate})$.
Our calculator automates this by applying the specific purity percentage (91.67% for 22K) to your total weight.
The Tola is a traditional unit of weight used primarily in South Asian markets (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh).
-
Standard Conversion: 1 Tola = 11.6638 Grams. In some local markets, a Tola is rounded to 12 grams, but our tool uses the internationally recognized 11.6638g for maximum precision.
Gold and precious metals are traded globally in Troy Ounces, which are heavier than standard kitchen ounces.
-
1 Troy Ounce = 31.1035 Grams.
-
1 Standard Ounce = 28.3495 Grams. Always ensure you select "Troy Ounce" when checking international spot prices to avoid losing value.
Making charges (or labor costs) are the fees charged by jewelers for the craftsmanship required to turn raw gold into an ornament. These can be a flat fee per gram or a percentage (usually 5% to 25%) of the gold value. Our calculator allows you to add these percentages to see the true "Total Payable" amount.
Fineness represents the purity of gold in parts per thousand.
-
999 Fineness: 24K (Pure Gold)
-
916 Fineness: 22K (91.6% Pure)
-
750 Fineness: 18K (75% Pure) Look for these hallmarks stamped on your jewelry to verify its quality before using the converter.
In many regions, government taxes or GST (Goods and Services Tax) are applied to the sum of the Gold Value + Making Charges. Our tool includes an "Advanced Inputs" section where you can enter your local tax rate to get a precise final estimate.
Yes. While "Karat" (with a K) measures purity, "Carat" (with a C) is a unit of weight.
-
1 Carat = 0.2 Grams. Our converter supports both, ensuring you can calculate the weight of gold alloys used in gemstone-studded jewelry.
The spot price is the international trading rate for raw bullion. Local retail rates may vary slightly due to import duties, transportation, and local market demand. Use our tool to plug in your local live rate for the most accurate calculation.
While specifically designed for gold (using Karat math), you can use the Weight Converter section for any precious metal. For pricing, simply enter the current rate of silver or platinum into the rate field.
An 18K ring is 75% gold and 25% other metals (like copper or silver) to make it durable. When selling, a buyer will only pay for the 75% pure gold content, not the total weight of the alloy.
