Calculate the total price of gold jewellery including professional labour charges and VAT.

How to Use the Calculator

This Jewellery Price Calculator helps you estimate the total cost of gold jewellery by including not just the gold's weight and purity, but also professional labour charges and VAT. It's designed to bring transparency and clarity to gold jewellery pricing for both buyers and sellers.

  1. Enter the weight of the jewellery in grams. This should reflect the total gold weight of the piece.
  2. The gold carat is preset to 22ct (91.7% pure), which is a common standard in gold jewellery.
  3. Adjust the labour charge per gram if needed. The default is £10 per gram, but you can increase or decrease this depending on craftsmanship or design complexity.
  4. Click "Calculate Price". The calculator will output the total price, factoring in the gold value (based on purity and weight), total labour charges, and VAT.

With just a few inputs, this tool gives you a quick and accurate estimate, making gold jewellery pricing simple and transparent.

Why Use the Calculator

When buying gold jewellery, many people focus only on the metal's weight or the spot price of gold. However, the final cost includes several components—gold purity, labour charges, and taxes like VAT. This calculator helps you understand the full pricing structure so you don't overpay or get caught off guard. It allows you to budget more accurately, compare jewellers' prices, and feel more confident in your purchase decisions. For sellers, it's also a helpful tool to explain price breakdowns to customers clearly and professionally.

Note: This calculator provides estimates based on current gold prices and standard industry practices. Actual retail prices may vary depending on the factors discussed above and other market conditions.
