Gold Price in Pakistan by Karat
Karat tells you how much of the metal is pure gold. 24K is almost pure and is used for bars; 22K and 21K are the jewellery standards in Pakistan; 18K and 14K hold stones well and cost less.
| Karat | Purity | Hallmark | Per tola | Per 10 grams | Per gram | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% | 999 | Rs416,536 | Rs357,112 | Rs35,712 | Bars, biscuits, savings |
| 22K | 91.67% | 916 | Rs381,825 | Rs327,353 | Rs32,736 | Bridal jewellery |
| 21K | 87.5% | 875 | Rs364,469 | Rs312,473 | Rs31,248 | Everyday jewellery |
| 20K | 83.3% | 833 | Rs347,113 | Rs297,593 | Rs29,760 | Some local jewellery |
| 18K | 75% | 750 | Rs312,402 | Rs267,834 | Rs26,784 | Diamond rings, white gold |
| 14K | 58.5% | 585 | Rs242,979 | Rs208,315 | Rs20,832 | Light fashion pieces |
Karat prices are worked out from the 24K Sarafa rate in proportion to purity (24K rate × karat ÷ 24). Different websites round slightly differently, so a gap of a few hundred rupees between sites is normal.
Which karat should you buy?
- Saving or investing: 24K bars or biscuits. No making charges, and jewellers apply no kat when you sell.
- Bridal or traditional jewellery: 22K. A rich colour and strong resale value.
- Everyday jewellery: 21K. A little harder, so it suits pieces worn daily.
- Diamond ring or white gold: 18K. It holds stones securely.
White gold is not a separate rate. It is usually 18K or 14K gold alloyed with white metals, so it follows those rates plus higher making charges.
Gold Rate Today vs Yesterday
Gold moved down by Rs10,900 per tola (-2.55%) since the previous rate. Daily swings of Rs4,000 to Rs12,000 per tola have happened several times in recent weeks, so it pays to check before you buy.
| 24K gold | Yesterday | Today | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per tola | Rs427,436 | Rs416,536 | ▼ Rs10,900 |
| International (per ounce) | $4,049 | $3,940 | ▼ $109 |
Is the Pakistan gold rate the same as the international rate?
Not exactly. The international price is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1035 grams). Convert today’s $3,940 at Rs277.02 per dollar, scale it to one tola (11.6638 grams), and you get Rs409,297 per tola. The Sarafa rate is a little higher.
| Today | Per tola |
|---|---|
| International price converted to PKR | Rs409,297 |
| Sarafa market rate (APGJSA) | Rs416,536 |
| Local premium | Rs7,239 (1.8%) |
That premium reflects the cost of dollars for importers and local supply and demand. When it widens, local buyers pay more than the world price, which is worth knowing before a large purchase.
Gold Rate by Weight: Tola, Gram, Masha and More
In Pakistan gold is priced by the tola, but many buyers think in grams. 1 tola = 11.6638 grams, so 10 grams is a little less than one tola (0.857 tola).
| Weight | 24K | 22K | 21K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | Rs35,712 | Rs32,736 | Rs31,248 |
| 2 grams | Rs71,425 | Rs65,472 | Rs62,497 |
| 5 grams | Rs178,559 | Rs163,680 | Rs156,239 |
| 10 grams | Rs357,119 | Rs327,358 | Rs312,478 |
| 1 masha (≈0.972 g) | Rs34,712 | Rs31,817 | Rs30,373 |
| Half tola | Rs208,268 | Rs190,912 | Rs182,234 |
| 1 tola | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 |
| 5 tola | Rs2,082,680 | Rs1,909,124 | Rs1,822,345 |
| 10 tola | Rs4,165,360 | Rs3,818,246 | Rs3,644,690 |
| 1 ounce (31.1 g) | Rs1,110,762 | Rs1,018,200 | Rs971,918 |
| 1 kilogram | Rs35,711,849 | Rs32,735,861 | Rs31,247,867 |
How many grams are in 1 tola?
One tola is 11.6638 grams, exactly 3/8 of a troy ounce. Jewellers also use smaller traditional units:
- 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti = 11.6638 g
- 1 masha = 8 ratti ≈ 0.972 g
- 1 ratti ≈ 0.1215 g
Small pieces such as nose pins, tops and baby rings are often weighed in masha and ratti, so knowing these helps you check a bill.
Gold Price Calculator
See exactly what a piece of gold is worth at today’s rate before you walk into a shop.
How to calculate the gold price yourself
- Take today’s 24K rate per tola: Rs416,536.
- Scale it to your karat: 24K rate × karat ÷ 24. For 22K that gives Rs381,825 per tola.
- Multiply by the weight in tola (grams ÷ 11.6638).
- Add making charges if you are buying jewellery.
Example: a 22K ring of 5 grams. 5 ÷ 11.6638 = 0.4287 tola. 0.4287 × Rs381,825 = Rs163,680 for the gold, before making charges.
Gold Rate in Major Cities of Pakistan
The official Sarafa rate is set nationally, so 24K gold costs about the same in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. What changes from city to city is the final shop price: local premiums, making charges and kat practices vary by bazaar.
| City | 24K per tola | 22K per tola | 21K per tola | 24K per 10 g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karachi | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Lahore | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Islamabad | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Rawalpindi | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Peshawar | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Quetta | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Multan | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Faisalabad | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Gujranwala | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Hyderabad | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
| Sialkot | Rs416,536 | Rs381,825 | Rs364,469 | Rs357,112 |
Why do jewellers in different cities quote different prices? The base rate is the same, but each jeweller adds their own making charges and may apply a small local premium. Always ask for the gold rate and the making charge separately, then compare.
Gold Price Difference: Pakistan vs Dubai, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
Thinking of buying gold abroad and bringing it home? Here is what one tola of 24K gold costs today in each country, converted to Pakistani rupees, and how much more or less it costs than in Pakistan.
| Country | 24K per gram (local) | 24K per tola in PKR | Difference vs Pakistan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | Rs35,712 | Rs416,536 | – |
| Dubai (UAE) Dubai Jewellery Group rate | AED 505.50 | Rs444,745 | Rs28,209 costlier |
| Saudi Arabia Local market rate | SAR 499.53 | Rs430,409 | Rs13,873 costlier |
| Qatar Local retail rate | QAR 501.00 | Rs444,721 | Rs28,185 costlier |
| World price (USA) International spot | USD 126.67 | Rs409,297 | Rs7,239 cheaper |
Today Pakistan is cheaper than or equal to every Gulf market we track. One tola of 24K costs Rs13,873 more in Saudi Arabia. One tola of 24K costs Rs28,185 more in Qatar. One tola of 24K costs Rs28,209 more in Dubai (UAE). The raw international (spot) price is Rs7,239 lower, because shop rates in both Pakistan and the Gulf add a local premium on top of it.
Before you buy gold abroad
- Compare like with like: the rates above are gold value only. Making charges in Dubai and Saudi jewellery shops can be high, especially on designer pieces.
- Check the exchange rate you actually get: we convert at the interbank rate (Rs277.02 per USD); exchange companies and cards usually give less.
- Know the customs rules: Pakistan limits how much gold jewellery a passenger can bring in without duty, and the rules change. Check the latest Federal Board of Revenue guidance before you travel.
- Gulf karats differ: 21K and 22K are common in the Gulf; compare a piece at the right karat rate, not the 24K rate.
Currencies converted through their US dollar pegs (AED 3.6725, SAR 3.75, QAR 3.64) at the interbank rate of Rs277.02. Saudi rates as reported on 14 October 2026, Qatar on 15 October and Dubai on 12 October. Rates move during the day.
Gold Price History in Pakistan
Chart: international gold price converted to rupees per tola (spot × interbank USD/PKR). 7D and 30D use daily prices tracked since 26 September 2026; 90D, 6M and 1Y use monthly averages (World Bank / LBMA data) plus the latest daily price. The Sarafa (APGJSA) rate is shown separately and is usually slightly higher because of the local premium.
Gold reached its all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola on 29–30 January 2026, when international gold touched about $5,505 an ounce. It has since fallen to Rs416,536, 27% below that peak. Over the long run the rise is striking: 24K cost roughly Rs6,000 per tola in 2000 and about Rs104,000 in 2020.
| Record | 24K per tola | When |
|---|---|---|
| All-time high | Rs572,862 | 29–30 January 2026 |
| Today | Rs416,536 | 12 November 2026 |
| Fall from the high | Rs152,326 (27%) | Since January 2026 |
How Is the Gold Rate in Pakistan Decided?
The daily rate is announced by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) in Karachi, the country’s main bullion market. It follows the international spot price (XAU/USD), converted to rupees at the dollar rate, plus a local premium.
What makes gold prices go up or down?
- The international gold price. The biggest driver: when world gold rises, Pakistan’s rate follows within hours.
- The rupee-dollar exchange rate. A weaker rupee makes gold dearer in Pakistan even if world gold is flat.
- US interest rates and the dollar. Gold usually gains when US rates are expected to fall, because it pays no interest of its own.
- War and uncertainty. Conflicts and financial stress push investors towards gold as a safe asset.
- Central bank buying. Large purchases by central banks support prices worldwide.
- Local demand and supply. Wedding season, import rules and the availability of dollars change the local premium.
- Government policy. In May 2025 Pakistan suspended gold import and export trade for 60 days to protect its reserves; the suspension was lifted in November 2025.
Buying or Selling Gold? What the Rate Does Not Tell You
The Sarafa rate is the price of the gold itself. What you pay or receive at a shop is different, and three things explain most of the gap.
Making charges (mazdoori)
Jewellers add a charge for the work, per tola or as a percentage. Intricate bridal sets cost more to make than plain bangles. Ask for the gold rate and the making charge as two separate numbers.
Kat when you sell
When you sell jewellery back, most jewellers deduct kat, commonly about 1 ratti per masha, which is 12.5% of the weight. Stones are deducted on top. Gold bars are usually bought back without kat.
Purity checks
Ask for a bill stating karat and exact weight, look for a fineness stamp such as 916 or 875, and for large purchases get the piece tested at an independent karat lab.
Smart buying tips
- Check today’s rate on this page before visiting a jeweller.
- Compare the making charge, not just the final price.
- Buy 24K bars if your aim is saving; buy jewellery for wearing.
- Keep every bill: it protects your resale value.
Silver Price in Pakistan Today
Silver is Rs5,578 per tola and Rs4,782 per 10 grams today, down Rs190 per tola from the previous rate. Many families track silver alongside gold because it is a cheaper way to save and because it sets the zakat threshold.
Gold Rate for Zakat
Zakat is due on gold when you own at least the nisab: 7.5 tola of gold, or the value of 52.5 tola of silver. At today’s rates that is Rs3,124,020 using gold and Rs292,846 using silver. Zakat is 2.5% of eligible wealth held for a full lunar year.
For 1447 AH the government set Rs503,529 as the nisab for automatic zakat deduction from bank accounts. That figure applies to bank deductions only; for your own gold, value it at the day’s rate for its karat, and ask a scholar you trust if you are unsure which nisab applies to you.
Will the Gold Price Go Up or Down?
No one can predict gold prices reliably, and anyone who promises a price is guessing. What we can show is the forces that will decide it:
- Could push prices up: falling US interest rates, a weaker rupee, geopolitical tension, continued central-bank buying, wedding-season demand.
- Could push prices down: a stronger dollar, higher interest rates, easing tensions, profit-taking after the 2026 peak, a stronger rupee.
Gold has fallen about 25% from its January 2026 high, a reminder that it can lose value in the short term even when it rises over decades.

Why is the gold price different at my jeweller?
The Sarafa rate is the price of the metal only. Jewellers add making charges, may apply a small local premium, and deduct kat when buying back, so the shop price is rarely the same as the published rate.
Will the gold price increase or decrease in Pakistan?
Nobody can say for certain. Gold in Pakistan follows the international price and the rupee-dollar rate, so it tends to rise when world gold rises or the rupee weakens, and fall when either moves the other way.
