Frequently Asked Questions
How are making charges calculated?
Making charges are either a fixed amount per gram or a percentage of the metal value. This tool shows both for the same piece.
Which is cheaper, fixed or percentage?
It depends on the price of gold. At a high gold price, a fixed per-gram charge is usually cheaper than a percentage charge. The tool compares the two amounts.
Does the tool use the live gold price?
No. It compares the charges you enter, using the metal value per gram you type in.
What is a typical making charge?
Making charges vary widely by design and dealer, from a few percent to over 20%. Ask for the charge in writing before you buy.
Does it include tax?
No. Tax is not included. Add tax to the total shown if it applies where you buy.
