Gold Investment Calculator

Because 10,000 pounds from 5 years ago purchasing power is much higher than 10,000 pounds today. If your gold rose from 10K to 15K, it looks like 50% gain. But Egypt's inflation made 10K = 25K today in purchasing power, so you actually lost.

Apparent = difference between your purchase price & today's selling price (ignoring inflation). Real = same difference but after deducting inflation's impact on money's purchasing power.

Simple definition: Breakeven is the gold price per gram where, if market price reaches it, you recover everything you paid (gold + craftsmanship) with zero profit or loss.

Practical example:

• I bought 10g of 21K gold at 3,000 L.E./gram = 30,000 L.E.
• Paid 7% craftsmanship = 2,100 L.E. extra
• Total I paid = 32,100 L.E.
• Breakeven = 32,100 ÷ 10 = 3,210 L.E./gram

Meaning gold must rise from 3,000 to 3,210 (7% increase) for you to just recover your money. Any increase above = real profit.

Why higher than purchase price? Because the craftsmanship you paid is lost — next buyer won't buy from you with craftsmanship, only raw gold. So gold price must rise to compensate.

Smart indicator: If current price above breakeven = you're gaining. If Below it = If you sell now, you'll lose. The calculator shows you How many years approximately to reach it based on gold's historical average growth.

Very close but indicative. Gold price is live and precise (from global market). Inflation rate is estimated (based on annual averages, may differ from your personal situation).

When you buy finished gold (chain, ring, set), the seller adds a "craftsmanship fee" on top of gold weight. When you sell, the buyer pays only raw gold price without the fee. So it's lost money forever.
