The Math Behind Gold Loan EMI & Interest Calculator
When you take a loan, banks calculate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) using the reducing balance method. Understanding the exact breakdown of your principal and interest over the tenure helps you make informed financial decisions.
1. LTV Margin Calls
Gold loans are issued at a max 75% Loan-to-Value (LTV). If gold prices crash, the bank can demand immediate principal repayment to cover the margin shortfall.
2. Bullet Repayment
Many gold loans only require monthly interest payments, with a 'bullet' repayment of the principal at the end. Ensure you have the liquidity for the final bullet.
3. Auction Risk
If you default, the NBFC or bank can auction your family gold. Gold loans are strictly for short-term liquidity (3-12 months), not long-term financing.
