Physical gold price today (estimated retail bill)
What you actually pay at a jeweller or for a coin: metal value at today's official IBJA physical rate, plus making or minting charges, plus 3% GST on the metal and 5% GST on making charges.
| Item | Metal value | Making / premium | GST | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24K gold coin — 10 g (mint premium 2%) | ₹1,41,431 | ₹2,829 (2% minting) | ₹4,384 | ₹1,48,644 |
| 24K gold bar — 100 g (premium 1%) | ₹14,14,310 | ₹14,143 (1% premium) | ₹43,136 | ₹14,71,590 |
| 22K plain jewellery — 10 g (making 10%) | ₹1,29,551 | ₹12,955 (10% making) | ₹4,534 | ₹1,47,040 |
| 22K designer jewellery — 10 g (making 18%) | ₹1,29,551 | ₹23,319 (18% making) | ₹5,052 | ₹1,57,922 |
| 22K gold chain — 20 g (making 12%) | ₹2,59,102 | ₹31,092 (12% making) | ₹9,328 | ₹2,99,521 |
| 18K studded jewellery — 10 g (making 20%) | ₹1,06,073 | ₹21,215 (20% making) | ₹4,243 | ₹1,31,531 |
Estimates only. Making charges vary by jeweller and design (typically 8–20%; studded and antique work runs higher), and hallmarking is usually ₹45 per piece. Buy-back is normally settled on metal value alone, so making charges are not recovered.
What moves this price
- • Global spot gold (COMEX) prices, which set the benchmark before Indian duties and taxes.
- • The rupee–dollar exchange rate: a weaker rupee lifts the domestic gold rate even when global gold is flat.
- • Import duty and GST, which sit on top of the landed cost of bullion.
- • US real interest rates and Fed policy expectations — gold competes with bond yields.
- • Festive and wedding-season jewellery demand in India, plus central-bank buying.
TrendRipperX explainer
How the gold rate in India is actually formed
India imports almost all of the gold it consumes, so the domestic price starts with the international benchmark quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. That dollar price is converted to rupees at the prevailing USD/INR rate, scaled to grams, and then loaded with import duty and other levies. The result is the landed cost that bullion dealers and MCX futures track through the trading day.
This is why gold in India can rise even on a day when global gold is flat: a weaker rupee alone makes every gram more expensive. Equally, a strong rupee can soften a global rally. When you read the rate on this page, think of it as two moving parts multiplied together — the global price and the currency.
Why your jeweller's price is higher than the screen
The futures and bullion rate is for pure metal in bulk. A jewellery bill adds making charges (a flat fee or a percentage of metal value), GST on the metal and on the making charge, and sometimes wastage. Purity matters too: 22-karat jewellery contains roughly 91.6% gold, so its per-gram metal value is lower than 24-karat, yet the finished piece usually costs more because of labour.
Our estimated retail table applies standard GST and typical making charges so you can sanity-check a quote before you buy. Always ask for a BIS hallmark and an itemised invoice showing weight, purity, making charge and tax separately.
Our view: how to use the daily rate sensibly
Watching the gold rate every day is useful for timing a purchase you were going to make anyway — a wedding order or an annual allocation. It is far less useful as a trading signal. Gold's long-run role in a household portfolio is insurance against currency weakness and equity drawdowns, and that role works best with steady, rule-based buying rather than reacting to daily moves.
If your goal is investment rather than jewellery, compare the all-in cost of physical gold with gold ETFs and other paper options, which avoid making charges and storage risk. Our gold ETF page tracks those funds live.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gold rate today in India?
MCX front-month gold futures are trading at ₹1,44,073.00 per 10 grams for 24K gold, up 0.70% (+₹1,000.00) from the previous close. That works out to about ₹14,407.30 per gram for 24K and ₹13,197.09 per gram for 22K, before jeweller making charges and GST.
Why is the jeweller's gold price higher than this rate?
The futures rate is a wholesale bullion price. Retail jewellery adds 3% GST, making or wastage charges (typically 8–20% depending on the design) and hallmarking fees, so the billed price per gram is always above the market rate.
How much will 10 grams of physical gold cost me today?
For a 22K plain jewellery piece, budget the metal value (about ₹1,31,971 for 10 g) plus roughly 10% making charges and GST at 3% on metal and 5% on making — the physical retail table above works this out line by line for coins, bars, chains and studded jewellery.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold?
24K is 99.9% pure gold and is used for coins and bars. 22K is 91.6% pure (the standard for Indian jewellery) and 18K is 75% pure, alloyed for strength in studded and lightweight designs. Prices scale with purity, which is how the table above is derived.
How often does this gold rate update?
Every minute during MCX trading hours (9:00 am to 11:30/11:55 pm IST, Monday to Friday). Outside those hours the page shows the last traded price.
