How to Calculate 18K Gold Rate Automatically

18K gold consists of 75% pure gold mixed with 25% other metals like copper or silver to provide durability. Calculating the rate of 18K gold manually involves finding the 24K price, adjusting for purity, and then adding jewelry-specific costs.

The Mathematical Formula

18K Gold Price = (24K Gold Rate / 10) × (18/24) × Weight + Making Charges + GST

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Suppose the current market price for 24K gold is 60,000 for 10 grams and you want to buy a 10-gram 18K gold chain.

  1. Find 24K Price per gram: 60,000 ÷ 10 = 6,000 per gram.
  2. Calculate 18K Purity Rate: 6,000 × (18/24) = 4,500 per gram.
  3. Calculate Ornament Gold Value: 4,500 × 10 grams = 45,000.
  4. Add Making Charges: If making charges are 10%, 45,000 × 0.10 = 4,500.
  5. Add GST: 3% GST on (45,000 + 4,500) = 1,485.
  6. Final Price: 45,000 + 4,500 + 1,485 = 50,985.

Why choose 18K Gold?

18K gold is the preferred choice for diamond and gemstone jewelry. Since pure gold (24K) is too soft to hold stones securely, the 25% alloy in 18K provides the necessary strength while maintaining a high gold value and a rich yellow luster.
