Question 7

How to calculate silver price?

Accepted Answer

Silver price calculation: **Basic Formula**: Silver Price = (International Silver Rate × Currency Exchange Rate) + Import Duty + Making Charges (for jewelry) + Dealer Margin + GST. **Components**: (1) International rate from London Metal Exchange or MCX. (2) Currency conversion (USD to INR). (3) Import duty (typically 10-12.5% in India). (4) Making charges for jewelry (8-15%). (5) Dealer margin (2-5%). (6) GST (3% in India). **For investment silver**: Lower price as it excludes making charges. **Example**: If international silver is ₹75,000/kg, with 10% import duty, 3% dealer margin, and 3% GST: Final Price = ₹75,000 + ₹7,500 + ₹2,250 + ₹2,543 = ₹86,293/kg.
