When you buy gold jewelry from a showroom in Kerala, the price you pay is more than just the gold value. Jewellers add a making charge — typically between 8% and 25% of the gold value — to cover the cost of craftsmanship, design, and wastage. Simple designs like chains and plain bangles sit at the lower end, while intricate antique or temple jewellery can reach the higher end.

On top of the gold value and making charges, the Government of India levies a mandatory 3% GST on the total invoice amount (gold + making charge). This tax is uniform across all states and applies whether you buy from a large chain or a local jeweller. Understanding this breakdown helps you compare quotes from different showrooms and avoid overpaying.

Use the calculator above to enter your desired weight and purity, adjust the making charge percentage, and instantly see how the final price is split between gold value, making charge, and GST. It is a quick way to plan your jewelry budget before visiting a store.
