About LivePriceStats
LivePriceStats is a free, independent utility platform built to bring complete transparency to gold and jewellery transactions in India. We serve buyers, investors, and jewellery professionals who need accurate, real-time data to make confident financial decisions.
Our mission is singular: to protect consumers from overcharging, hidden fees, and opaque billing practices in the gold and jewellery industry.
Our Data Sources & Methodology
Every rate displayed on LivePriceStats is sourced from benchmark market data and updated continuously throughout trading hours:
- Gold & Silver Rates: Derived from MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange of India) spot prices and IBJA (India Bullion and Jewellers Association) benchmark fixings, adjusted for local import duty (currently ~10%) and 3% GST.
- City-Level Rates: City rates reflect the standard local market adjustment applied by jewellers in each region. These are indicative rates; actual showroom rates may vary slightly by jeweller.
- Gold Bill Calculations: Our bill check uses the formula: Final Bill = (Net Weight × Live Rate) + Making Charges + BIS Hallmark Fee + 3% GST. This matches the standard calculation mandated under Indian GST law for HSN code 7113.
- Exchange Rates: International gold prices (USD spot) are converted using live forex rates, updated every 15 minutes.
Important Disclaimer: All rates and calculations on LivePriceStats are indicative and for informational/verification purposes only. Always confirm final prices with your jeweller or financial institution before transacting.
Why LivePriceStats Exists
Jewellery billing in India involves multiple layers of calculation — metal weight, karat purity factor, making charges (which vary by jeweller), BIS hallmarking fees, and GST at different rates for metal vs. labour. For most consumers, this complexity creates a significant information asymmetry.
We built LivePriceStats to eliminate this gap. Our tools replicate the exact math used by jewellers and financial institutions, allowing anyone to walk into a transaction with the same information the seller has.
