Gold Rate in Pakistan 2026: Today Price Per Tola Update
The gold rate in Pakistan on October 14, 2026 stood at Rs. 440,836 per tola for 24-karat gold, after a rise of Rs. 900 in a single session, according to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems & Jewellers Association. Ten grams of 24K gold traded at Rs. 377,945, while 22K gold was priced at Rs. 404,100 per tola. Important caveat: the gold rate changes daily — and sometimes within the same day — so always confirm the final price with your jeweller before you buy or sell.
Gold Rate Today: Latest Per Tola Prices in Pakistan
The headline gold price that most Pakistanis follow is the 24K per tola figure, because one tola (11.664 grams) is the traditional unit of the local bullion market. On October 14, 2026, the sarafa association quoted 24K gold at Rs. 440,836 per tola, up Rs. 900 from the previous session. The same day’s breakdown across purities was: 22K at Rs. 404,100, 21K at Rs. 385,732 and 18K at Rs. 330,627 per tola. Per 10 grams, 24K gold changed hands at Rs. 377,945. These rates were broadly uniform across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Multan and Peshawar, though individual jewellers can quote a few hundred rupees more or less once making charges are added.
It is worth noting that different rate boards can disagree slightly. Some private portals quoted a 24K per tola price near Rs. 432,000 on the same date, as reported in independent rate coverage. The difference usually comes from timing (the sarafa association announces once daily, while private boards update more often) and from whether the source reports the Karachi wholesale rate or a retail estimate. For official purposes, the association’s figure is the standard reference.
What Moves Gold Prices in Pakistan
Pakistan does not set its gold rate in isolation. Three forces drive it. First is the international gold price, quoted in US dollars per ounce. On October 14, 2026, international gold traded near $4,156 per ounce, historically high territory. When global investors grow nervous about inflation, wars or stock-market wobbles, they rotate into gold, and that lifts gold prices everywhere, including Pakistan. Second is the dollar-to-rupee exchange rate. Since gold is priced in dollars globally, a weaker rupee mechanically pushes the local price higher even if the world price is flat. For context, the dollar rate in Pakistan was around Rs. 277.40 in the open market on the same day. Third is local demand: wedding season, Eid and festivals can add a temporary premium as jewellers restock.
The metal has been exceptionally volatile through 2026. The association’s own 10-day history shows swings of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000 per tola in a single session — Rs. 437,500 on October 11, Rs. 435,000 on October 12, Rs. 432,000 on October 13 and back to Rs. 440,836 on October 14. That choppiness is normal when both the dollar and the international price are moving at once.
Per Gram and Per 10 Grams: How the Units Work
While the tola dominates headlines, two other units matter for practical buying. The 10-gram price (about 0.857 tola) is the standard metric quote used alongside the tola rate: at the current price, 10 grams of 24K gold cost Rs. 377,945. The per-gram price is simply one-tenth of the 10-gram figure — about Rs. 37,795 per gram — and jewellers use it when quoting small items or charging making costs. Because all three derive from the same underlying price, a Rs. 900 rise per tola automatically translates into roughly a Rs. 771 rise per 10 grams.
Purity is the other half of the calculation. 24-karat gold is 99.9 per cent pure — the benchmark for investment bars and coins, but too soft for most jewellery. 22-karat gold (91.6 per cent pure) is the standard for bridal jewellery in Pakistan. 21K and 18K are harder and cheaper, used for everyday pieces with intricate settings. When the benchmark moves, all purities move in proportion.
Should You Buy Gold at These Prices?
There is no one-size answer, but a few principles help. If you are buying jewellery for a wedding, the daily rate is only one component: making charges (often 10–20 per cent), wastage deductions and the buy-back policy of your jeweller can matter more than a Rs. 1,000 swing in the daily rate. Get the rate, the karat, the weight and the making charge in writing on the receipt. If you are buying gold as an investment — bars or coins — compare the premium over the international price with alternatives such as the Pakistan Stock Exchange or government saving schemes, and remember gold pays no dividend or interest. Many analysts suggest staggering purchases rather than betting everything on one day’s price, precisely because daily moves of Rs. 2,000–3,000 per tola are common.
Finally, treat every rate you see online — including this one — as a snapshot. The price on the day you actually transact is the only one that counts. Check the sarafa association’s announcement or a trusted jeweller that morning, confirm whether the quote includes taxes, and never decide on one day’s price alone.
