Formula & Theory — Canara Bank Gold Loan Calculator
The Canara Bank Gold Loan Calculator applies straightforward financial formulas used for gold-backed lending:
Eligible Gold Value = Gold Weight (g) × Purity Factor × Gold Price per Gram
Loan Amount = Eligible Gold Value × (LTV Ratio / 100)
Total Interest = Loan Amount × (Annual Rate / 100) × (Tenure in Months / 12)
Monthly Interest = Total Interest / Tenure
Total Repayment = Loan Amount + Total Interest| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gold Weight | Net weight of gold in grams |
| Purity Factor | 0.75 for 18K, 0.833 for 20K, 0.917 for 22K, 0.999 for 24K |
| Gold Price per Gram | Current market rate per gram |
| LTV Ratio | Bank-approved loan-to-value percentage (max 75% per RBI) |
| Annual Rate | Contractual interest rate per annum |
| Tenure | Loan duration in months |
Assumptions and Limits
The Canara Bank Gold Loan Calculator uses simple interest, which is the standard method for short-term gold loans. Canara Bank may use a slightly different compounding convention for certain schemes. The calculator does not include processing fees, insurance charges, or valuator fees, which can add 0.5% to 2% of the loan amount to your actual cost. Always confirm the final terms with your nearest Canara Bank branch before pledging your gold.
