Gold Price & Bhori Calculator

How gold weight and price are calculated

Bhori, ana, roti and point

In Bangladesh gold is weighed in bhori (ভরি, also called a tola or vori). BAJUS, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association, quotes every price per bhori of 11.664 grams. Smaller weights are written in ana, roti and point:

• 1 bhori = 16 ana = 11.664 g
• 1 ana = 6 roti = 0.729 g
• 1 roti = 10 point = 0.1215 g
• 1 point = 0.01215 g (1 bhori = 96 roti = 960 point)

Weight in bhori = bhori + ana ÷ 16 + roti ÷ 96 + point ÷ 960, and grams = bhori × 11.664.

Example: 2 bhori 5 ana 3 roti = 2 + 5 ÷ 16 + 3 ÷ 96 = 2.34375 bhori = 27.3375 g. The other way, 10 g ÷ 11.664 = 0.8573 bhori, which a jeweller writes as 13 ana 4 roti 3.05 point.

The price of a piece of gold

Gold price = weight in bhori × price per bhori

Total = gold price + making charge (+ VAT, only if your bill adds it)

Example with an example price of ৳2,20,000 a bhori for 22 carat (check today’s real price): 1 bhori 8 ana is 1.5 bhori, so the gold costs 1.5 × 2,20,000 = ৳3,30,000. An 8% making charge adds ৳26,400, for ৳3,56,400 in total. A making charge of ৳5,000 per bhori instead would add ৳7,500, for ৳3,37,500.

Today’s gold price and purity

Gold prices in Bangladesh are set by BAJUS and change often, sometimes several times a month. So this page never fills in a price: check today’s price per bhori at bajus.org (newspapers also report every change) and enter it.

BAJUS publishes a separate price for four grades. Carat measures purity out of 24: 22 carat is about 91.7% gold, 21 carat 87.5% and 18 carat 75%. Traditional (sanatan) gold is the lowest of the four and the cheapest per bhori. Pick the purity on your receipt and enter that price; the purity itself doesn’t change the maths.

VAT and making charge (majuri)

VAT. Gold used to carry 5% VAT on the sale price. The FY2026-27 budget replaced it with a fixed VAT of ৳2,500 per bhori on gold (৳100 per bhori on silver); the Finance Bill passed on 29 June 2026. BAJUS has published VAT-inclusive prices since 18 June 2026 and says shops may not collect VAT separately. So the calculator’s default is “Included in the price (BAJUS)” and adds nothing. If your bill does add VAT, choose “Add VAT as % of the bill” (applied to the gold price plus the making charge) or “Add VAT in ৳ per bhori” and type the figure on the bill.

Making charge. The jeweller’s charge for making the piece depends on the design and the shop, so nothing is filled in. Enter it as a percentage of the gold price or as Taka per bhori, or leave it blank. To check what percentage a quoted charge is, use the Percentage Calculator; for VAT on other goods, the VAT Calculator.

Not included: wastage (khad), the weight of stones, discounts, and the deduction a shop makes when it buys old gold back. Ask the shop about these before you buy or sell.

Gold and zakat

The zakat nisab is 7.5 bhori (87.48 g) of gold or 52.5 bhori (612.36 g) of silver. To include your gold in a zakat calculation, convert its weight to bhori here, then use the Zakat Calculator, which values it at the price you enter and compares your wealth with the nisab.

How to use the calculator

1. Choose Price of gold (to work out a cost) or Convert units (weight only).
2. Choose how you’ll enter the weight: Bhori, ana, roti (fill in any of Bhori, Ana, Roti and Point; blanks count as 0) or Grams.
3. For a price: choose the purity and enter the Price per bhori from BAJUS.
4. Optionally add the making charge, and change the VAT option only if your bill adds VAT.
5. Select Calculate price or Convert weight.

Calculations keep full precision; money is rounded to the paisa and weights to 4 decimals only for display. Mode, purity and weight unit are remembered on this device; prices and weights are kept only in your recent calculations, which you can turn off.
