Gold is central to Indian weddings across all regions. The amount of gold jewellery varies significantly based on family traditions, regional customs, and budget. In South India, brides typically wear 40–200 grams of gold, while North Indian weddings usually involve 20–100 grams. The total weight depends on the number and type of jewellery pieces — a heavy bridal necklace alone can weigh 30–80 grams.
When budgeting for wedding gold, remember to account for making charges (₹300–₹2,000 per gram), 3% GST on the gold value, and 5% GST on making charges. These additional costs typically add 15–25% to the base gold price. Buying hallmarked BIS 916 gold ensures you get genuine 22K purity.
This calculator helps you plan by selecting individual jewellery pieces, adjusting their weights, and calculating the total cost at today's live gold rate. You can change the purity between 22K (standard for jewellery) and 24K (coins and bars), and adjust making charges based on your jeweller's rates.
