Today Gold Rate in Pakistan — October 9, 2026
Gold jumped again this morning. Here’s the number everyone is looking for first, then the full breakdown — per gram, 22K and 21K rates, the week’s trend, and what to check before you buy.
Gold Rate Today by Karat — Full Table
Prices below are the October 9, 2026 Sarafa Association rates. 24K is pure investment-grade gold; 22K is what almost all jewellery in Pakistan is made of.
| Karat | Per tola | Per 10 grams | Per gram |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K (99.9% pure) | Rs 440,936 | Rs 378,031 | Rs 37,803 |
| 22K (91.6% — jewellery) | Rs 403,700 | Rs 346,106 | Rs 34,611 |
| 21K (87.5%) | Rs 385,350 | Rs 330,366 | Rs 33,037 |
| 18K (75% — modern designs) | Rs 330,702 | Rs 283,526 | Rs 28,353 |
One thing buyers forget: the gold rate is only the starting number. Your jeweller adds making charges (labour) — usually 8% to 20% depending on the design — on top of these rates. Always ask for the rate and the making charges separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Gold Price Trend — This Week
Gold has been sliding from its August peak and bounced hard today. Here’s the recent path:
| Date | 24K per tola | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 9, 2026 | Rs 440,936 | ▲ Rs 5,900 |
| Oct 8, 2026 | Rs 435,036 | ▲ Rs 600 |
| Oct 7, 2026 | Rs 434,436 | ▼ Rs 3,100 |
| Oct 6, 2026 | Rs 436,000 | ▼ Rs 2,000 |
| Oct 5, 2026 | Rs 438,000 | ▲ Rs 1,000 |
| Oct 4, 2026 | Rs 437,000 | — steady |
| Oct 2, 2026 | Rs 441,000 | ▲ Rs 600 |
For context: back on August 27, gold was around Rs 478,000 a tola — so even after today’s jump, it’s still roughly Rs 37,000 below that peak. Market trackers were quoting Rs 434,500–437,500 through the day as rates moved, which is why you may see slightly different numbers on different sites; the figures above are the official morning announcement.
How the Gold Rate in Pakistan Is Decided
There’s no mystery to it — three inputs decide the rate every morning:
1. The international price. Gold is traded globally in US dollars per ounce (London/COMEX). When the world price moves — like today’s $59 jump — Pakistan’s rate moves with it the same morning.
2. The rupee. Since gold is bought in dollars, a weaker rupee makes every tola more expensive in Pakistan even when the world price stands still. This is the reason Pakistani gold can rise on days the international price is flat.
3. Local demand. Wedding season, Eid, and festival buying push jeweller demand up, and premiums creep in. The Sarafa Association’s morning announcement folds all three together into one number.
The same rate applies nationwide — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta — because it’s announced centrally, not city by city.
Tola to Gram — The Conversion Every Buyer Should Know
One tola equals 11.6638 grams. That’s the number jewellers use, and it’s worth memorising:
- Price per gram = tola price ÷ 11.6638
- Price for any weight = per-gram price × grams
- 22K from 24K = 24K price × 22/24
If a jeweller’s per-gram quote doesn’t roughly match tola ÷ 11.6638, ask them to show their working. It takes ten seconds and catches most billing errors.
How to Check Gold Purity Before You Buy
Fake and under-karat gold is the oldest trick in the book. Five checks that actually work:
1. Ask for the hallmark. Reputable jewellers stamp the karat (22K, 21K) on the piece. No stamp, no deal — or at least a much lower price.
2. Weigh it yourself. Ask them to weigh the piece on a certified digital scale in front of you, and confirm the weight matches the bill.
3. Separate the charges. The bill should show the gold rate, the weight, the making charges, and any stones separately. Stones are weighed and priced on their own — never pay gold rates for stone weight.
4. Keep the receipt with the karat written on it. If you ever resell, the written karat is your proof.
5. Cross-check the day’s rate. Open this page before you walk into the shop. If their “today’s rate” is thousands above the announced one, walk out.

For 24K gold: about Rs 37,803 per gram (Rs 378,031 per 10 grams). For 22K jewellery gold: about Rs 34,611 per gram. Divide the tola rate by 11.6638 to get any day’s per-gram price.
Why did the gold price increase today?
International gold rose $59 an ounce to $4,184 on October 9, and Pakistan’s sarafa market followed — up Rs 5,900 per tola. Global uncertainty around the US Federal Reserve’s rate outlook and US debt levels is supporting bullion worldwide.
Is the gold rate the same in every city?
Yes — the Sarafa Association announces one rate each morning that applies in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta and everywhere else. Individual jewellers may add small local premiums or differ on making charges.
What is 22K gold rate today in Pakistan?
Rs 403,700 per tola as of October 9, 2026. 22K (91.6% pure) is the standard for jewellery in Pakistan — harder and more durable than pure 24K, which is too soft for daily wear.
Is gold a good investment right now?
Gold is near historic highs globally and still about Rs 37,000 below its August 2026 peak in Pakistan. It’s traditionally a safe-haven asset, but prices swing daily — buy for the long term and never invest money you might need next month. This is general information, not financial advice.
What is the silver rate in Pakistan today?
Silver is Rs 6,512 per tola as of October 9, 2026 (up Rs 144). Silver moves with similar forces — international prices and the rupee — but swings harder in percentage terms.
Where is the official gold rate announced?
The All Pakistan Sarafa Gems & Jewellers Association announces the daily rate each morning, reported by outlets like Dawn, Business Recorder, Tribune and Daily Pakistan. This page tracks the announcement daily.
