Simple Interest Calculator for Gold & Jewellery Loans
Simple interest (SI) is calculated only on the original principal for each period. For monthly gold loan rates quoted in India, interest for a period equals principal × (rate ÷ 100) × time when time is expressed consistently (e.g. months with a monthly rate).
This calculator helps you estimate total interest and the amount due when the loan is repaid. It is useful for comparing customer quotes, validating manual entries in your ledger, and explaining repayment to borrowers in plain terms.

Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for simple interest on a monthly rate?
For a flat monthly rate R% and M months: interest ≈ Principal × (R / 100) × M. Your contract may use exact days or different rounding—verify with your terms.
Is this calculator suitable for gold loans?
Yes. Enter the loan amount, your monthly interest rate, and tenure in months to match typical gold-backed lending workflows.
How is this different from compound interest?
Simple interest does not add accrued interest back into the principal each period. Compound interest does, so long-term totals can be higher for the same nominal rate.
