Why use a gold loan calculator before applying?
A gold loan calculator gives you an estimate of your borrowing capacity before you begin the application process.
It helps answer questions such as:
- Is my existing gold enough for the loan amount I need?Â
- How much can I borrow against my gold?Â
- Will I need to pledge additional gold?Â
- What loan amount may I be eligible for based on the gold I own?Â
Having this information beforehand helps you plan your finances and reduces uncertainty during the application process.

It uses your inputs along with prevailing gold prices and applicable LTV guidelines to estimate:
- The loan amount you may be eligible forÂ
- The approximate quantity of gold required for your desired loan amountÂ

What factors affect your eligible loan amount?
The amount you can borrow against your gold depends on more than just its weight. While the Bajaj Finance Gold Loan Calculator provides an estimate, your final eligible loan amount is determined after your gold is physically assessed.
The following factors influence the final valuation:
| Factor | How it affects your loan amount |
|---|---|
| Gold purity (karat) | Higher-purity gold generally supports a higher loan amount. |
| Net gold weight | Only the weight of the gold is considered. Stones and embellishments are excluded. |
| Gold price on the valuation date | Higher gold prices can increase the value of your pledged gold. |
| Applicable Loan-to-Value (LTV) | The eligible loan amount is determined by applying the applicable LTV to the assessed gold value. |
| Lender’s valuation process | The final loan amount is confirmed after your gold is physically assessed. |
For example, if your 22-karat gold is valued at Rs. 2 lakh after assessment, you could be eligible for a loan of up to Rs. 1.70 lakh, subject to the applicable LTV. Similarly, higher gold prices may increase the loan amount that the same jewellery can support.
The Bajaj Finance Gold Loan Calculator provides an estimate to help you plan your borrowing. The final sanctioned amount depends on the assessed value of your gold, the applicable LTV, and the valuation process.
