Understanding Nepali Gold Weight Units

The Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers' Association (FENEGOSIDA) publishes official daily rates per Tola (तोला) and 10 Grams. In the Nepali retail market:

  • 1 Tola (तोला) = 11.6638 Grams = 16 Aana (आना) = 64 Lal (लाल)
  • 1 Aana (आना) = 4 Lal = 0.7289875 Grams (approx 0.729g)
  • 1 Lal (लाल) = 0.1822 Grams (1/64th of a Tola)
  • 10 Grams = 0.85735 Tola

How 1 Aana Gold Price is Calculated

To calculate the price of 1 Aana of gold in Nepal, take today's 24K Fine Gold rate per Tola and divide by 16:

1 Aana Gold Price = Today's 1 Tola Rate ÷ 16

For example, if 1 Tola Fine Gold is NPR 176,000, then 1 Aana equals exactly NPR 11,000 (before making charges and wastage).

The 4 Components of Jewellery Billing

  1. Base Metal Value: Net Gold Weight (in Tola, Aana, or Grams) × Today's FENEGOSIDA Hallmark 24K (छापावाल) or Tejabi 22K (तेजाबी) rate.
  2. Jarti (Wastage / जर्ती): Percentage of gold lost during melting, cutting, and soldering (typically 3% to 10% depending on design intricacy).
  3. Jyala (Making Charge / ज्याला): Artisan craftsmanship fee per piece or per tola.
  4. Stone / Gem Deduction: Any decorative stones or gems must be weighed separately and deducted from gross weight before pricing.
