    • These values are editable directly in admin.
  • Per-Product Metal Settings
    • Metal Type (Gold, Silver, or Custom)
    • Base Price (optional)
    • Weight (g)

    • Markup (%)
  • Custom Metal Formula Builder
    • Create your own metal variables (e.g., Platinum, Rose Gold).
    • Define formulas like platinum = goldrate * 1.25.
    • Delete or edit them anytime.

    Final Price = ((Metal Rate × Weight) + Base Price)

🧮 Example Calculation

Given:
– Metal Rate = 85.50
– Weight = 10 g
– Wastage = 2%
– Making Charge = 5.00 (per g)
– Markup = 10%

Step-by-step:
Base = 85.50 × 10 = 855.00
After Wastage = 855.00 + (855 × 0.02) = 872.10
After Making = 872.10 + (5 × 10) = 922.10
Final = 922.10 + (922.10 × 0.10) = 1,014.31

Copy code
Final Price = 1,014.31
