Gold Price Tracker & Buying Calculator – Free Online Tool
Track live physical gold prices in India & globally, and calculate physical gold buying costs with custom purity (24K, 22K, 18K), making charges, GST, and city rates.
Live Physical Gold Rate Tracker & Buying Calculator
Our Gold Price Tracker tracks live physical gold prices using spot prices adjusted by import duties, taxes, and retail premiums. It also calculates the total cost of buying physical gold ornaments, jewellery, or coins. Standard options calculate the impact of making charges (as a percentage or a flat rate per gram), local taxes (like GST in India), and discretionary discounts.
Understanding the Physical Gold Price Formula
Unlike paper or digital gold, physical gold in retail showrooms includes import duty, local handling charges, and retail premiums. We derive the physical retail price by taking the international USD spot gold price per ounce, converting it to grams, applying the live USD/INR exchange rate, and adjusting for a standard 28.2% import and retail premium factor. City-specific retail offsets are applied to match physical market pricing in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and other hubs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Gold Price Tracker & Buying Calculator.
Is this gold price tracker real-time?
Yes. The spot prices and currency exchange rates are fetched dynamically from active public feeds. These are then converted to retail physical rates using standard formulas updated in real-time.
How is the physical gold rate derived?
The retail gold rate in India is computed as: Spot XAU/USD per ounce divided by 31.1035 (grams per troy ounce), multiplied by the live USD/INR exchange rate, and multiplied by a 1.282 multiplier (covering import duty, cess, and retail premium). City offsets are then applied.
What is the standard GST on gold in India?
The Government of India levies a standard 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on both the value of the gold and the making charges. Our calculator handles this automatically by default.
Can I calculate prices for 22K and 18K gold?
Yes. 24K gold is 99.9% pure, 22K is 91.6% pure (standard for most retail jewellery), and 18K is 75.0% pure. The calculator scales the price per gram according to these exact purity ratios.
