How gold loans work
A gold loan lets you borrow against gold jewelry or coins you already own, using the gold itself as collateral. Because the collateral is easy to value and liquidate, gold loans typically process faster and carry lower rates than unsecured personal loans \u2014 though rates still vary by lender and loan-to-value ratio offered.
Repayment structures vary: some gold loans use a standard EMI (which this calculator models), while others offer interest-only payments with a bullet repayment of principal at the end, or even a single lump-sum repayment at maturity. Confirm which structure your lender is offering before comparing the EMI figure above to their quote.
