- Making charge: Weight × making charge per gram: 50 × 85 = 4,250 EGP (a default; type the shop's figure in the calculator).
- VAT: 14% on the making charge only: 4,250 × 0.14 = 595 EGP.
- Total: 341,955 + 4,250 + 595 = 346,800 EGP. Selling the same weight to a goldsmith today gets 50 × 6,745 = 337,241 EGP.
