Gold Loan Calculator
Find your eligible loan amount based on gold weight & purity, then compute EMI — all in one place.
Gold rate is user-supplied and indicative — not a live market price. Actual loan amount and LTV vary by lender and gold quality assessment.
Interest rates and tenure vary by lender. Gold loans may also be issued as bullet repayment or overdraft — check with your bank.
How gold loan eligibility is calculated
A gold loan is secured against physical gold jewellery or coins. The lender assesses the purity and weight of your gold, applies a purity factor, and then lends a percentage of that value — capped at 75% by RBI regulation.
Key facts about gold loans in India
The Reserve Bank of India limits banks to lend no more than 75% of the gold's appraised value. NBFCs had a temporary limit of 90% which reverted to 75% in 2021. Always verify the current RBI guidelines.
Lenders test purity via XRF or acid test. 22K jewellery is the most common. Studded or antique jewellery may be assessed at lower effective purity. Coins above 50g from non-bank sources may be excluded.
The rate you enter is indicative. Actual disbursed amount depends on the lender's internal gold rate on that day, which may differ from MCX or international spot prices. Check HDFC, SBI, or Muthoot rate cards.
Frequently asked questions
How much gold loan can I get per gram in India?
As of mid-2025, with gold at approximately ₹7,500 per gram, you can expect around ₹5,000–₹5,600 per gram of 22K gold at 75% LTV. The exact amount depends on the lender's internal gold rate on the day of disbursement and the assessed purity of your jewellery.
What is the maximum LTV ratio for gold loans?
The RBI has set a maximum LTV of 75% for gold loans sanctioned by scheduled commercial banks. This means for every ₹100 of gold value, you can borrow up to ₹75. Some NBFCs previously offered up to 90% LTV, but the limit was brought back to 75% in April 2021.
Is 18K gold accepted for a gold loan?
Yes, 18K gold is accepted by most lenders, but the eligible loan amount will be proportionally lower — 18/24 of the pure gold equivalent. Some lenders may require a minimum purity of 18K and may not accept gold below that threshold. The loan-to-value is applied to the assessed value, not the gross weight.
How is gold loan EMI different from a personal loan EMI?
Gold loan EMI is calculated the same way as any term loan using the reducing balance method. However, many gold loan products offer bullet repayment (interest monthly, principal at end) or overdraft structures rather than standard EMI. Confirm the repayment type with your lender before using this EMI estimate.
What happens if I cannot repay my gold loan?
If you default, the lender has the right to auction your gold after giving you advance notice as per RBI guidelines. The proceeds of the auction are used to recover the outstanding loan. Any surplus after recovery is returned to you. Gold loans generally do not involve external recovery agents, as the collateral is already held by the lender.
