Gold has long been a popular investment and a traditional store of value in Pakistan, where it is commonly bought for jewellery, weddings, and as a hedge against inflation. Gold rates in the country are quoted per tola (approximately 11.66 grams), which is the standard unit for retail gold transactions.
In Pakistan, gold is typically sold in different purities, most commonly 24 karat (pure gold), 22 karat, and 21 karat. The price varies by purity, with 24K commanding the highest rate. Jewellers also charge making charges on top of the gold price, which differ from shop to shop.

Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
Gold continues to be one of the most trusted stores of value in Pakistan, bought for weddings, jewellery and as a hedge against inflation and rupee depreciation. The live table above converts the international spot price of gold — quoted in US dollars per troy ounce — into Pakistani rupees per tola and per gram, using the current interbank USD-PKR rate. Rates are shown for 24 karat (pure gold), 22 karat and 21 karat, the purities most commonly sold by jewellers across the country. Because both the dollar price of gold and the rupee exchange rate move through the day, the rupee value of gold can change even when the international price is steady.
How Gold Prices Are Calculated
The calculation starts with the international spot price: the live market price of one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of pure gold in US dollars. That dollar figure is divided by 31.1035 to get the price per gram in dollars, multiplied by 11.6638 (the grams in one tola) to get the dollar price per tola, and then multiplied by the current USD-PKR interbank rate to arrive at rupees per tola. Lower purities are derived proportionally — 22 karat is 22/24 of the pure-gold price and 21 karat is 21/24. This is why the rupee gold rate depends on two moving parts: the global gold price and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. A weaker rupee pushes local gold prices higher even on days when the dollar price of gold does not move. Domestic supply, wedding-season demand and government duties can add further local variation on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold rate per tola in Pakistan today?
The live table above shows today’s computed per-tola rates for 24K, 22K and 21K gold in Pakistani rupees, derived from the international spot price and the current USD-PKR rate. Retail jeweller rates may differ slightly as they add premiums and making charges.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K and 21K gold?
24 karat is pure gold (99.9%). 22 karat contains 22 parts gold out of 24 (91.6% pure) and 21 karat contains 21 parts (87.5% pure). Lower-karat gold is harder and better suited to jewellery, while 24K is softer and typically used for coins and bars.
Why does the gold rate change every day?
Two factors move it: the international dollar price of gold, which reacts to US interest rates, inflation data and geopolitical events, and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Either one can push the local per-tola rate up or down on any given day.
Is the per-tola rate the same in every city?
Broadly yes, since all cities track the same international price, but local sarafa markets quote slightly different buying and selling rates, and making charges vary from jeweller to jeweller. Always verify weight, purity and making charges, and ask for a proper receipt before buying.
