Because the cost drag hits before any growth happens, higher-cost buying channels (jewellery) meaningfully underperform lower-cost ones (digital gold, ETFs) even at an identical appreciation rate.
Physical gold held over 2 years qualifies for LTCG (12.5%, no indexation, post-July-2024 rules); under 2 years it's taxed at your slab. Gold ETFs/mutual funds typically follow debt-fund-like slab taxation regardless of holding period — verify which instrument you're actually comparing.
Is ₹1,000/month enough to build a meaningful gold holding?
Over a long enough horizon, small consistent purchases add up — the calculator shows the exact projected value so you can judge against your own goal rather than guessing.
Is this a simplified version of the real calculator?
No — it's the exact same calculator, opened with these values already filled in. There's no separate, simplified math happening on this page; everything below adjusts once you open it.
