How much is a tola of 22K gold?
The computed metal value is ₹141,033 — 91.6% of the pure-gold price per tola. Jewellers add making charges and margin on top, and pay below this when buying back.
Why does the jeweller's price differ from the computed one?
We show the contained metal value at the exchange price and the official FX rate. Retail prices add making charges, taxes, hallmarking fees and shop margin; buy-back prices subtract a refining discount. The computed figure is a benchmark: it shows how much actual gold a piece holds.
