Gold Loan Eligibility Calculator

A gold loan allows you to borrow funds by pledging your gold jewellery or ornaments as security. Lenders evaluate your eligibility based on the weight and purity of the gold you provide. A gold loan eligibility calculator helps you determine how much loan amount you may qualify for, based on current gold rates and simple inputs. This tool, available on Bajaj Markets, simplifies your loan planning and improves decision-making.

A gold loan eligibility calculator is an online tool that shows how much loan you can get against your gold. It considers the gold’s weight, purity, and current market value to provide an estimate of your eligible loan amount.

You can either enter the total loan amount you wish to borrow or provide details of your gold’s weight and purity. Based on this, the calculator instantly provides your eligibility result. Some tools also double up as a gold loan EMI calculator, showing your estimated monthly payments based on interest rate and tenure.

These tools are often integrated into broader gold loan calculator platforms, offering accurate and quick loan insights to potential borrowers.

These advantages make the gold loan calculator a helpful planning tool before applying for any secured gold-based loan.

To apply for a gold loan, you must meet certain eligibility conditions set by lenders. These criteria help assess your ability to borrow and repay the loan:

• Nationality

You must be an Indian citizen

• Age

You must be at least 18 years old

• Occupation

You may be salaried, self-employed, an entrepreneur, farmer, or trader

• Gold Purity

The gold pledged must have a minimum purity of 18 karats

Along with these criteria, lenders also require basic documentation for identity and address verification. Below are commonly accepted documents:

Identity Proof (any one):

• Aadhaar Card
  

• Passport
  

• Driving Licence
  

• Voter ID

Address Proof (any one):

• Aadhaar Card
  

• Passport
  

• Driving Licence
  

• Recent utility bill

Meeting the above eligibility and submitting valid documents ensures a smoother application and approval process.

Using the gold loan eligibility calculator on Bajaj Markets is simple and quick. Most platforms offer two methods to check your eligibility:

Method 1 – Based on Loan Amount

1. Select the ‘Loan Amount’ option
   

2. Enter the amount you wish to borrow or use the slider
   

3. Input the applicable interest rate
   

4. Choose your desired loan tenure (in months or years)
   

5. Click ‘Calculate Now’ to view EMI and eligibility results

Method 2 – Based on Gold Weight

1. Choose the ‘Gold Weight’ option
   

2. Enter the gold’s weight manually or adjust the slider
   

3. Select the gold purity (18K, 20K, or 22K)
   

4. Input the applicable interest rate
   

5. Choose a repayment tenure
   

6. Click ‘Calculate Now’ for instant estimates

These calculators function similarly to a gold loan EMI calculator, offering clarity on both eligibility and monthly repayment commitments.

To understand how a gold loan calculator works, consider the following example:

Example Using Gold Weight

Suppose you have 40 grams of 22K gold and want to take a loan against it.

• Current market value of 22K gold: ₹5,500 per gram
  

• Estimated loan-to-value (LTV) ratio: 75% (subject to lender policies)
  

• Interest rate: 11% p.a.
  

• Loan tenure: 12 months

Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. Total Gold Value = 40g × ₹5,500 = ₹2,20,000
   

2. Eligible Loan Amount = 75% of ₹2,20,000 = ₹1,65,000
   

3. Enter this loan amount, 11% interest rate, and 12-month tenure in the calculator

The gold loan EMI calculator will then show:

• Monthly EMI: ₹14,608 approx.
  

• Total Repayment Amount: ₹1,75,296
  

• Total Interest Payable: ₹10,296

This example highlights how the calculator simplifies planning by showing clear, upfront figures for both eligibility and repayment.
