Gold Profit Calculator

The Gold Profit Calculator helps you determine the profit or loss on your gold investments by comparing the purchase price with the current or selling price. Whether you bought physical gold, gold ETFs, sovereign gold bonds, or digital gold, this calculator gives you the exact return on your investment.

Gold has historically been a strong performer in India due to the combined effect of global gold price appreciation and rupee depreciation against the US dollar.

Profit = Selling Value - Purchase Value - Transaction Costs

Return % = (Profit / Purchase Value) × 100

• Purchase Value: Price per gram × weight at the time of buying
• Selling Value: Current price per gram × weight
• Transaction Costs: Making charges (for jewelry), GST, brokerage (for ETFs), storage fees

For annualized returns, use: CAGR = (Selling Value / Purchase Value)^(1/years) - 1

• Step 1: Enter the purchase price per gram and weight of gold bought
• Step 2: Input any additional costs (making charges, GST, etc.)
• Step 3: Enter the current or selling price per gram
• Step 4: View total profit, percentage return, and annualized CAGR

• Physical Gold & Gold ETFs: Capital gains are taxed as per your income slab regardless of holding period (as per new rules)
• Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs): Capital gains are completely tax-free if held until maturity (8 years). Interest of 2.5% p.a. is taxable as per slab.
• Digital Gold: Taxed similar to physical gold
• Indexation: For investments made before certain dates, indexation benefits may be available — consult a tax professional
