About the Nepal gold price calculator

This calculator estimates what a piece of gold jewellery should cost from its weight and the day's rate. Enter the weight in tola, gram, aana or lal, pick the purity, and type in the rate per tola published by the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers' Association (FENEGOSIDA). The tool converts the weight between units, works out the metal value, and adds making charges and VAT to reach an estimated total.

Nepali gold weights: tola, aana and lal

Nepali jewellers still quote gold by the tola, a traditional unit equal to 11.6638 grams. A tola is divided into 16 aana, and an aana into 100/16 lal, so 1 tola = 16 aana = 100 lal. That is why a bill may read "1 tola 2 aana 3 lal" instead of a gram figure. This calculator converts freely between tola, gram, aana and lal so you can check any quote.

Purity and the daily rate

The daily rate is for fine (24K, 999) gold. A 22K ornament contains 22/24 as much gold, so it is priced at 22/24 of the fine rate, and other purities scale the same way. Because the rate changes every working day and differs slightly between jewellers and cities, there is no fixed number to build in — you enter the current rate and the calculator applies the purity factor.

Making charges, wastage and VAT

The gold value is only part of the bill. Jewellers add a making charge (jyala) — a percentage of the metal value or a flat amount that rises with the intricacy of the design — and often a wastage charge (jarti). VAT at 13% applies to jewellery sales in Nepal. The result is an estimate: the final price depends on the shop, the design and the day's rate.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams is one tola of gold in Nepal?
One tola equals 11.6638 grams. This is the official Nepali figure used by the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association, and it is the same whether the metal is gold or silver.
How many aana and lal are in a tola?
One tola equals 16 aana, and one aana equals 6.25 lal, so one tola equals 100 lal. One aana weighs about 0.729 grams and one lal about 0.1166 grams.
How do I convert the per-tola rate to per gram?
Divide the per-tola rate by 11.6638. If fine gold is Rs 150,000 per tola, the rate is about Rs 12,861 per gram. Multiply the gram rate by 11.6638 to go back to the tola rate.
Why is 22K gold cheaper than 24K?
22K gold is 22/24 pure, so it contains less gold than 24K. Jewellers price it at 22/24 of the fine rate, which is about 91.7%. 24K is too soft for most jewellery, so 22K is the common choice for ornaments.
Is VAT included in the gold price?
VAT at 13% applies to jewellery sales in Nepal and is usually added on top of the metal value and making charge. Whether a quoted price includes it varies, so ask the jeweller and enter the rate you pay in the calculator.
Is the rate the same across Nepal?
The benchmark rate is published daily by FENEGOSIDA, but individual jewellers add their own margin and making charges, and prices can differ slightly between cities and shops. Always confirm the rate and the itemised bill before buying.
