Today’s Gold Rates in Pakistan
Rates as of 14 October 2026 (All Pakistan Sarafa Association). Per-gram and per-10-gram figures are calculated from the per-tola rate (1 tola = 11.66 g). Always confirm the day’s rate with your jeweller before buying or selling.
| Gold Type | Per Tola | Per 10 Grams | Per Gram | Day Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold (pure) | Rs. 440,836 | Rs. 377,945 | Rs. 37,795 | +Rs. 900 |

Understanding Gold Purity: 24K vs 22K vs 21K
Not all gold is the same. The “karat” tells you how much pure gold is in the metal — and it directly affects the price and how suitable a piece is for daily wear.
24K Gold — Pure Gold
24-karat gold is 99.9% pure. It is the benchmark against which all other gold is priced, and it is what investors buy as bars and coins. But pure gold is soft — it scratches and bends easily — so it is rarely used for everyday jewellery. When headlines quote “the gold rate”, they almost always mean 24K per tola.
22K Gold — The Jewellery Standard
22-karat gold (about 91.6% pure) is the most common choice for jewellery in Pakistan: hard enough for bangles, chains and rings while keeping a rich yellow colour. Most bridal sets and everyday pieces are 22K. Its price sits slightly below the 24K rate, in proportion to its purity.
21K Gold — Popular for Bridal Sets
21-karat gold (87.5% pure) is widely used in Pakistani bridal jewellery, especially in Punjab. The slightly lower purity makes it more durable for heavy, intricate designs, and it costs less per tola than 22K — a practical choice for large sets. Always confirm the karat stamped on the piece matches what you are paying for.
Gold Buying Guide for Pakistan
Buying gold is one of the biggest purchases most families make. A little knowledge protects you from the most common traps.
How to Verify Purity
Reputable jewellers stamp the karat (e.g. “22K”) inside rings and on chain clasps. For larger purchases, ask for a computerized weight and purity test — many established shops now test in front of you. Keep the original bill with weight, karat and making charges itemized; it is your proof if you ever resell.
Making Charges: The Hidden Cost
The gold rate is only part of what you pay. Jewellers add “making charges” for crafting the piece, and these vary enormously between shops and designs. Simple bands carry low making charges; intricate bridal sets carry high ones. Always ask for making charges separately, negotiate them, and remember they are largely lost on resale — buy-back is usually on gold weight and purity only.
Trusted Gold Markets in Pakistan
Every major city has a Sarafa (goldsmith) market where competition keeps pricing honest: Karachi’s Sarafa Bazaar and Tariq Road, Lahore’s Ichhra and Liberty markets, Rawalpindi’s Sarafa Bazaar, and the jewellery streets of Peshawar and Quetta. Comparing three or four quotes in an hour is the single best thing you can do for your wallet.
Buy-Back and Exchange Policies
Before buying, ask the jeweller’s buy-back terms: at what rate will they repurchase, and what do they deduct beyond making charges? Shops with transparent, written buy-back policies are worth a small premium over the cheapest quote with no paperwork.

Gold as an Investment in Pakistan
Beyond jewellery, gold is Pakistan’s favourite crisis hedge. When inflation rises or the rupee weakens, gold demand climbs — which is why understanding the forces behind the price matters more than timing the market perfectly.

A word of caution: gold protects wealth, but it does not grow it the way a business or well-chosen investments can. Many families do best with a mix — some gold for security, plus exposure to other assets. Our beginner’s guide to the Pakistan Stock Exchange is a good next read if you want to diversify, and prize bonds remain Pakistan’s classic small-saver alternative.
What Moves Gold Prices in Pakistan?
International Bullion Market
Pakistan imports most of its gold, so the local price starts from the international rate (quoted in US dollars per ounce) converted at the day’s exchange rate. When world prices jump on geopolitical tension or central-bank buying, Pakistani prices follow the same day.
The Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate
Because gold is priced in dollars internationally, a weaker rupee means higher gold prices in Pakistan even when the world price is flat. Watch the dollar rate today alongside gold — the two explain most day-to-day moves. Our currency rates hub tracks the full picture.
Local Demand Seasons
Wedding season (roughly November to February) and Eid buying predictably lift local premiums. Jewellers know demand is coming — buying a month or two before the peak season often saves money.
Inflation and Interest Rates
When inflation runs hot, savers flee cash for gold. To read the gold market well, understand inflation: see what US inflation means for Pakistan and why your electricity bill changes every month.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
Rates change daily. See our gold rate today page for the latest per-tola and per-gram prices for 24K, 22K and 21K gold, updated every morning.
What is the difference between 24K and 22K gold?
24K is 99.9% pure gold — the pricing benchmark, best for bars and coins. 22K is about 91.6% pure and is the standard for jewellery in Pakistan because it is harder and more wearable. 22K costs slightly less per tola than 24K.
How many grams are in one tola?
One tola equals 11.66 grams. Jewellers in Pakistan quote gold per tola, while international markets quote per ounce — knowing the conversion helps you sanity-check any quote.
Is gold a good investment in Pakistan?
Gold is an excellent preserver of wealth and a hedge against inflation and rupee depreciation, but it does not generate income. Most financial guides suggest holding gold as part of a diversified mix — see PSX investing and prize bonds for alternatives.
What are making charges on gold jewellery?
Making charges are the labour cost of crafting jewellery, added on top of the gold rate. They vary by design and shop, are negotiable, and are mostly lost on resale — always ask for them separately.
Where can I check silver rates too?
On our silver rate page, updated daily alongside gold. Silver suits smaller budgets and gifting.
Why did the gold price rise today?
Usually one of three reasons: the international dollar price rose, the rupee weakened against the dollar (check the dollar rate), or local seasonal demand spiked. Our daily update explains the day’s move.
Should I buy gold before wedding season?
Generally yes — demand (and local premiums) rise from November to February. Buying a month or two early, and comparing quotes across several Sarafa market shops, usually gets you a better deal.
