Gold Price Calculator Nepal (Tola to Gram)What the gold costs, and what you pay on top.

Where the rate comes from

The Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers' Association publishes the day's fine gold and silver rates, per tola and per 10 grams, on fenegosida.org. This calculator has no live feed. The default rate is FENEGOSIDA's fine-gold price for 19 October 2026, Rs 2,90,200 a tola (Rs 2,48,800 per 10 g); replace it with the day's figure or the rate your jeweller quotes. If you have the per-10-gram figure instead, switch the rate basis and enter that; switching converts the number in the box rather than reinterpreting it.

Tola, lal and gram

A tola is standardised at 180 grains, or 11.6638038 grams, and FENEGOSIDA's own pair of rates implies the same: Rs 2,90,200 ÷ Rs 2,48,800 × 10 g comes to 11.664 g. A lal is one hundredth of a tola, about 0.1166 g, the unit small ornaments are often weighed in. International spot prices are quoted per troy ounce of 31.1034768 g, which is exactly 2⅔ tola, so a dollar-per-ounce price has to be divided by 2.667 before it can be set against a Nepali per-tola rate, and converted to rupees on top. The tables under the results restate your weight in all four units.

Making charge and wastage

A jewellery bill has three parts: the gold value, the wastage (jarti) and the making charge (jyala). The calculator applies both extras as a percentage of the gold value, which is how the record-high gold guide and the gold sale tax guide state them; those guides also put numbers on how large they typically run. If a shop quotes making as a flat amount per tola, divide it by the rate: Rs 25,000 a tola on a Rs 2,90,200 rate is about 8.6%. A coin or bar usually carries little or no making charge, so set both to zero to price one.

The split bar and the sentence under the results show what share of the bill is not gold. That share matters more than the rate. When you sell a piece back, the jeweller values it on weight and purity at the day's buying rate, and the making charge does not come back, so the gold price has to rise by the making-and-wastage percentage, plus the buy-sell gap, before an ornament breaks even. At the default rate, a 2-tola necklace with a 10% making charge costs Rs 6,38,440: Rs 5,80,400 of gold and Rs 58,040 of making. Sell it back at an unchanged rate and the most you can expect is the gold value, less the jeweller's margin.

24K, 22K and the tejabi quote

Karat counts parts of gold in 24, so 22-karat gold is 22/24, or 91.67%, gold. The 22K option values the gold content at 22/24 of the fine rate: Rs 2,66,017 a tola at the default rate. That is what the metal in a 22K piece is worth against fine gold. It is not necessarily what a shop charges for tejabi, which the gold investment guide notes has been priced at a fixed discount narrower than purity implies. If the shop gives you its own 22K rate, enter that and keep "rate as quoted".

What the bill here leaves out

• The skill promotion fee. From Shrawan 1, 2083, sellers of gold, silver and ornaments collect a 0.5% skill promotion fee from the final consumer. It is not added here.
• Stones and other material. Price the net gold weight. Stones, lacquer and settings are not gold and are not worth the gold rate on resale.
• The buy-sell gap. A jeweller buys back below the rate it sells at, so a same-day round trip returns less than the gold value shown here.
• Tax on selling.There is none on a personal sale: the Income Tax Act's list of taxable non-business assets is land, buildings and interests in entities, and gold is not on it.
