Frequently asked questions

How do I price a piece of gold?

Multiply its weight in grams by today's price for its karat, add the making charge per gram times the weight, then add VAT on the total if it applies.

What is a making charge?

It's the fee for crafting the piece, usually a fixed amount per gram. It depends on design and workmanship and isn't refunded when you sell.

Is there VAT on gold?

Saudi Arabia applies 15% VAT on jewelry, while investment bars of 99%+ purity can be exempt. The UAE applies 5% on jewelry. Check your country's rules.

How can I tell if an invoice is fair?

Enter the weight, karat and invoice price. The calculator shows the effective making charge per gram you paid and compares it with the expected price.
