So, at maturity or if you redeem early, your returns will reflect the going rate for gold. This is quite relevant right now, since a bunch of SGB tranches from 2020 and 2021 are hitting their 5-year mark, which means they can be redeemed early through 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#The_Redemption_Price_Formula\" >The Redemption Price Formula<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Invest_in_bonds_earn_9-14_pa_fixed_returns\" >Invest in bonds &#038; earn 9-14%* p.a fixed returns<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Core_Calculation_Details\" >Core Calculation Details:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Key_Points_to_Remember\" >Key Points to Remember<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Why_the_3-Day_Average_Matters\" >Why the 3-Day Average Matters<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#How_the_Process_Works\" >How the Process Works:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Ready_to_Invest\" >Ready to Invest?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/bond-news\/how-is-the-sgb-redemption-price-calculated-complete-formula-explained\/#Disclaimer\" >Disclaimer:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Redemption_Price_Formula\"><\/span><strong>The Redemption Price Formula<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The redemption price is based on the average closing price of 999-purity gold for the three business days leading up to the redemption date.
