Gold Rate in Pakistan — City Wise
Pakistan doesn’t have separate gold markets per city — every Sarafa Bazaar prices off the same international spot rate and PKR/USD exchange rate. The table below reflects that shared benchmark; any city-to-city gap is a small dealer premium or a timing lag, not a different underlying price.
| City | 24K / Tola | 24K / Gram | 22K / Tola | 22K / Gram |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karachi | Rs 455,800 | Rs 39,090 | Rs 417,809 | Rs 35,833 |

Today’s Gold Rate in Pakistan vs Yesterday
Comparing the gold rate in Pakistan today against yesterday’s close is the fastest read on market direction. The live widget above shows an up or down arrow against the 24K price the moment a change registers, along with the rupee move. Because the underlying spot price trades nearly around the clock, the rate you see in the morning can differ from the evening figure even on the same calendar day.

How the Gold Rate in Pakistan Is Calculated
- Currency conversion. The USD/oz spot price is converted to PKR using the current interbank exchange rate.
- Unit conversion. Price per troy ounce (31.1035 g) is converted to price per tola (11.6638 g), since gold in Pakistan is priced and traded per tola.
- Local adjustment. The All Pakistan Sarafa & Jewellers Association may add a small premium reflecting import duty and dealer margins — why the officially announced rate can differ slightly from a pure spot calculation.

What Moves the Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
- US dollar strength. Gold is priced in USD globally — a stronger dollar typically pushes gold down, and vice versa.
- PKR/USD exchange rate. Even with a flat international price, a weaker rupee alone raises the rate in rupee terms.
- Global interest rates. Gold pays no yield, so higher rates make it relatively less attractive than bonds.
- Geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Gold is a safe-haven asset — conflict, inflation fears, or financial stress often push prices higher.
- Local demand and import duty. Wedding season and festival demand can widen the local premium over the pure spot-based calculation.
Buying Checklist for Gold in Pakistan
- Check the hallmark. Look for an official purity stamp (e.g., 916 for 22K) rather than the seller’s word alone.
- Compare the rate card. Ask the jeweller to show today’s official Sarafa Association rate against what this page shows.
- Separate metal cost from making charges. Always ask for both figures separately.
- Get a proper receipt listing weight, karat and rate — protects you on resale.
- Avoid buying during sharp short-term spikes unless it’s for immediate use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
The gold rate in Pakistan today is shown live at the top of this page for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K, as a live update based on the latest international spot price converted to PKR.
What is the live 24K gold rate in Pakistan per tola?
The live 24K gold rate per tola is shown in the rate widget above as a live update — check the “24K” tile for the current figure.
Is the gold rate the same in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad?
Yes. The base international spot price is identical nationwide, so rates across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and other cities track very closely — small differences usually come from local dealer premiums, not a different underlying gold price.
How often does the gold price in Pakistan change?
The international spot price can change by the minute during trading hours. Local jewellers typically re-announce official rates once or twice a day, while this page shows a live update.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold rate?
The difference is purity: 24K is the purest and priced highest, while 22K, 21K and 18K contain progressively less gold mixed with other metals, so their rate is proportionally lower.
What is 1 tola in grams?
1 tola equals 11.6638 grams — the standard unit used for quoting gold rates across Pakistan.
Does the gold rate in Pakistan include making charges?
No. The rate shown here is the raw metal value only; jewellers add making (labour) charges separately, so always ask for both figures before agreeing on a final price.
What causes today’s gold rate in Pakistan to go up or down?
The two biggest short-term drivers are the international USD gold spot price and the PKR/USD exchange rate; global interest-rate expectations and geopolitical risk also play a major role.
