1 tola = 11.6638 g (the modern trade value) · 1 sovereign/pavan = 8 g as used in the jewellery trade · 1 troy oz = 31.1035 g.
Jewellery Bill Checker
Enter the figures printed on your bill to rebuild the total: metal value, making charges, stones and tax. Useful for checking a bill, or for seeing what a quote really costs. Use whatever currency your bill is in.
Enter the net weight and rate to begin.
Enter the tax rate printed on your bill. The default is India's: GST on finished jewellery is 3% of the whole value, making charges included, and 5% applies to job work, where you supply the gold and pay only for making. Jewellers differ on whether old-gold credit is taken off before or after tax, so check the order on your bill. How to read a bill →
Safe-Harbor Check (India)
For households in India. Compare each family member's gold jewellery with the amounts in India's CBDT Instruction No. 1916 (1994). Officers are told not to seize jewellery up to these amounts during an income-tax search. They are not limits on how much you may own. Read the explainer →
Enter a weight for at least one person.
