Portfolio Gold Allocation

The Portfolio Gold Allocation Calculator evaluates whether your current gold holdings are appropriately sized relative to your total investment portfolio. Financial advisors typically recommend 5-15% allocation to gold as a portfolio diversifier and inflation hedge. Enter your total portfolio value and the current market value of all gold holdings (physical, ETFs, sovereign gold bonds). The gauge shows your current allocation percentage against the recommended range, with clear over-allocated or under-allocated indicators. Gold serves a specific role in a portfolio — it is a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and geopolitical risk. Too little gold leaves your portfolio exposed to these risks, while too much drags down returns during normal market conditions. This calculator helps you find the right balance.
