How does a Gold Loan Calculator work?
- Gold weight:Â Enter or select the weight of the gold you plan to pledge. The higher the weight, the larger the loan amount you can expect.
- Purity of gold:Â The purity of gold is usually measured in karats ranging from 18K to 24K. Gold of higher purity (closer to 24K) fetches a higher loan amount.
- LTV ratio: The Loan-to-Value ratio determines the percentage of the value of gold that can be sanctioned as a loan. For example, if the LTV ratio is 68% and your gold is valued at ₹ 1,00,000, you can get a loan of up to ₹ 68,000.
- Market rate: The prevailing market rate of gold per gram is factored in. This rate can fluctuate daily based on market conditions. The calculator uses this rate to estimate the value of the gold you are pledging.
- Tenure: Select the loan tenure, that is the period over which you intend to repay the loan e.g. tenure of 6 months or 1 year.
Â
Based on the weight, purity, rate per gram and LTV ratio, here is how you can calculate the total eligible amount:
Eligible Loan Amount:Â = Weight (gms) x Purity (K) x Rate per gram (Based on respective Karat) x Tenure (t) x LTV Ratio(%)

Calculate the eligible amount using Gold Loan Calculator and use this simple formula to calculate Gold Loan interest:
Interest = (Eligible Amount x Rate of Interest x Tenure)/100.
Here's an example to help you understand how the formula works:
Let's say you are eligible for Rs.3,00,000 for a Gold Loan with an annual interest rate of 10%* for a period of 1 year. To calculate the interest on your Loan, the following formula will be used:
Interest = (3,00,000 x 10 x 1)/100
= 30,00,000/100
= 30,000
So, the total interest payable on your Home Loan over a period of 1 year would be Rs. 30,000.
By using this formula, you can calculate the interest on your Gold Loan and get a clear idea of how much you'll be paying in interest over the loan tenure.
