How Gold Loan Interest Rates are Calculated
The Gold Loan rate of interest is influenced by key factors such as the loan amount and loan tenure. Generally, a higher loan amount may attract a different interest rate, while a longer loan tenure often results in a lower monthly interest rate but increased total interest paid.
Gold Loan interest rates can be either fixed or floating. Fixed rates remain constant throughout the loan tenure, offering predictable repayments, whereas floating rates fluctuate with market conditions. Additionally, interest on Gold Loans is usually compounded monthly, affecting the overall repayment amount.
For example, consider a Gold Loan with an interest rate of 11.88% per annum, compounded monthly. If you borrow a principal amount for a tenure of 12 months, your Interest Payment can be calculated using the formula:
Interest Payable = Loan Amount×Interest Rate (p.a.)×Tenure (months)/12
Where,
- Loan Amount = Principal (amount of loan you take)
- Rate of Interest (p.a.) = Annual interest rate in %
- Tenure (months) = Number of months till repayment
Now,
Interest Payable = 50,000*11.88*12/12 = 5,940
Total Payable = 50,000+5,940 = 55,940
So, for a gold loan of ₹50,000 at an interest rate of 11.88% per annum, with a 12-month tenure, your monthly payable interest would be around ₹5,940. This helps you plan your monthly budget effectively and understand your repayment obligations clearly.

Gold prices influence gold loan interest rates by affecting the value of the collateral. When the gold price today is high, lenders consider it as lower risk, potentially offering reduced interest rates. Conversely, declining gold prices may prompt lenders to increase rates to mitigate the risk of collateral devaluation.
In a gold loan process, the borrower pledges their gold ornaments as collateral to the lender. The lender evaluates the gold, and depending on the purity and weight of the pledged gold, a loan amount is approved, and the amount is quickly disbursed. The borrower, in turn, has to repay the loan amount within a fixed tenure to reclaim their gold.
