How Making Charges Change the Total
Making charges have an outsized impact at lower weights because they’re a fixed per-gram amount regardless of gold price movement. On a 10-gram piece, the difference between AED 4/gram and AED 10/gram making charges is AED 60 + VAT = AED 63 extra. That’s nearly 2% of the total price on a 22K piece — meaningful on a purchase in this range.
| Making Charge Rate | Making charges on 10g | Total (22K, incl. VAT) | Difference vs AED 4/g |
|---|---|---|---|
| AED 4/gram | AED 40 | ~AED 3,361 | — |
| AED 6/gram | AED 60 | ~AED 3,381 | +AED 21 |
| AED 8/gram | AED 80 | ~AED 3,402 | +AED 42 |
| AED 10/gram | AED 100 | ~AED 3,423 | +AED 63 |
