How is the gold price calculated in Karnal?
The gold rate you see in Karnal isn't a single number. It is calculated in stages, starting from the international gold price and adjusted for domestic factors before reaching the retail market. Here's how today's gold rate is determined:
- Start with the international price: Gold is traded globally in US dollars per troy ounce. This serves as the base price.
- Convert to Indian rupees: The international price is converted using the prevailing USD-INR exchange rate. A weaker rupee increases the cost of imported gold.
- Convert to grams and apply purity: The price is converted from per ounce to per gram and adjusted according to gold purity. For example, 24K gold is based on 99.9% purity, while 22K gold is based on 91.6% purity.
- Add import duty: Since India imports most of its gold, the applicable import duty is added to the base price.
- Add GST: A 3% GST is levied on the gold value, while a 5% GST is applied to the making charges for jewellery.
- Add making charges and jeweller's margin: The final retail price includes the cost of craftsmanship, design, and the jeweller's margin.
Most jewellers and lenders in Karnal use the daily benchmark prices published by the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) as the reference for international pricing, currency conversion, and purity calculations. The main difference in the final price across jewellers usually comes from making charges and their individual margins.

How can you calculate the value of your gold?
You can estimate the value of your gold using three simple details:
- Gold weight
- Gold purity
- Applicable gold rate per gram
Gold value formula
Gold Value = Gold Weight × Gold Rate per Gram
Example gold value calculation
Suppose you own:
50 grams of 22K gold
Current 22K gold rate: Rs. 13,129.90 per gram
Estimated gold value:
50 × Rs. 13,129.90 = Rs. 6,56,495
This provides an estimate of the current market value of your gold. The final loan amount depends on the applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, gold purity, and Bajaj Finance's valuation process.
