How is a gold loan worked out?
A lender values only the pure gold in your jewellery. Pure gold is 24K, so 22K gold counts as 22/24 of its weight at the 24K rate. The loan is a share of that value, called the loan-to-value or LTV. RBI sets limits on the LTV, and it can be lower for bigger loans.
This calculator treats the loan as a bullet loan: you pay the simple interest and the principal together at the end. Many banks also let you pay interest monthly, which costs the same in simple interest. Stones, wastage and making charges are not counted by lenders, and the price they use may differ from the market price.
Example
50 g of 22K gold at ₹10,000 a gram for 24K is worth about ₹4,58,333. At 75% LTV the loan is about ₹3,43,750. At 9.5% for 12 months the interest is about ₹32,656, so you repay about ₹3,76,406.
