🕵️ Gold Rate Detective
Google vs. Shop Rate Checker
- ✅ Green: Fair Price. Buy it.
- 🚨 Red: Too High! Ask for a discount.
Why is the Shop Gold Rate Higher than Google? (Truth Revealed)
You check the gold rate on Google, and it says ₹72,000. You go to a jewelry shop, and they ask for ₹76,000. Why this difference? Are you being cheated?
Use our Shop vs Google Rate Checker to calculate the "Premium" or "Spread" charged by your jeweler. Know when to bargain and when the price is fair.
What is a "Fair" Difference?
Google shows the MCX (Market) Rate or pure bullion rate without taxes and transport costs. However, jewelers have to pay for transport, insurance, and shop expenses.
- 0% - 1% Extra: Excellent (Usually Wholesale).
- 1% - 3% Extra: Standard (Bank Rates / Branded Stores).
- Above 5% Extra: High! (You should bargain).
How Jewelers Set the Price? (IBJA vs Local)
Most local jewelers do not follow the internet rate. They follow the "City Gold Association" rate, which opens at 11:00 AM daily. This rate is always ₹1,000 to ₹3,000 higher than the MCX market rate to protect their profit margin.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
