How Gold Is Priced in Pakistan
Gold rates in Pakistan are primarily driven by the international spot price of gold, quoted in US Dollars per troy ounce, and the prevailing USD/PKR exchange rate. Local Sarafa associations — including the All Pakistan Sarafa Jewellers Association — convert this international benchmark into Pakistani Rupees and publish reference rates for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold each trading day, typically per tola (11.6638 grams) and per gram.
Because gold is traded globally around the clock, Pakistan's local rates can be revised multiple times during the day as the spot price or exchange rate shifts. Jewellers across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and other cities generally reference these association rates, then add their own making charges, taxes and margins — which is why the price you pay at a shop may differ slightly from the headline "gold rate".
Why Track the Gold Rate Regularly?
- Timing a purchase or sale: Gold prices move with global markets, so checking the rate before visiting a jeweller helps you negotiate from an informed position.
- Comparing purity options: 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold serve different purposes — from investment bars to everyday jewellery — and our calculator helps you estimate the value of each instantly.
- Understanding city-level differences: While the underlying bullion price is national, small local variations exist. Our city pages break these down with unique local market context.

How is the gold rate in Pakistan determined?
Local rates generally follow international bullion (spot) prices converted into PKR using the prevailing US Dollar exchange rate, then adjusted by Sarafa associations for the local market, including the All Pakistan Sarafa Jewellers Association benchmark commonly referenced in Karachi.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold?
24K gold is about 99.9% pure, 22K is roughly 91.67% pure, 21K is about 87.5% pure, and 18K is about 75% pure. Lower-karat gold contains more alloyed metals, so it typically costs less per gram than higher-karat gold.
How many grams are in one tola of gold?
One tola equals approximately 11.6638 grams. This traditional South Asian unit remains the standard measure used by jewellers and Sarafa markets across Pakistan.
Why do gold rates change during the day?
Gold is priced internationally in US Dollars per troy ounce. As the global spot price or the USD/PKR exchange rate shifts, local Sarafa associations revise PKR rates — sometimes more than once a day.
Do gold rates differ from city to city in Pakistan?
The underlying bullion price is largely uniform nationwide, but small differences can appear between cities due to local making charges, dealer margins and how quickly each market updates its reference rate. See our city pages for local details.
How many tolas are in 1 kg of gold in Pakistan?
In standard Pakistani bullion markets, 1 tola is traditionally calculated as 12.5 grams. Therefore, 1 kg (1000 grams) of gold contains exactly 80 tolas.
How much is 14k gold worth per gram?
14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold. Its price per gram fluctuates daily based on the international spot price, but it generally costs about 58.3% of the 24K gold rate, excluding jeweler making charges.

In precious metals, one troy ounce is the standard measurement and it equals exactly 31.1034768 grams. This applies to both gold and silver.
How much is 18k and 10k gold worth?
18K gold (75% pure) and 10K gold (41.7% pure) are priced proportionally to the 24K spot price. 18K is highly popular for premium jewelry, while 10K is extremely durable and more affordable per gram.

One metric ton equals 1,000,000 grams or roughly 32,150.7 troy ounces. Depending on the current spot price of around $2,000-$2,400 per ounce, 1 ton of pure gold is generally worth well over $64 million USD.
What is the gold rate in Nepal or Bangladesh per tola?
Like Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh quote gold prices in tolas (usually 11.66 grams). However, their local rates vary slightly from Pakistan due to local import taxes, duties, and the exchange rate of their respective currencies against the US Dollar.
