Gold in Pakistan is priced off the international bullion spot rate, which is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. That figure is converted into rupees using the live USD to PKR interbank rate, then divided down from a troy ounce (31.1035 grams) into the units jewellers actually trade in — a tola (11.6638 grams) or a plain gram. Finally, the 24K rate is scaled down by purity to get the 22K, 21K, and 18K prices shown above (for example, 22K gold is 22 ⁄ 24 of the pure 24K rate). This is exactly how the calculator on this page works, and it's the same method used by jewellers and gold rate boards across Pakistan.
The karat number tells you how pure the gold is out of 24 parts. Higher purity costs more per gram but is softer, while lower-karat gold is more durable and usually cheaper to make into jewellery.
Yes — the gold rate in Pakistan is set nationally, typically once or twice a day, by jewellers' associations based on the international spot price and the USD/PKR rate. This means the official rate for gold rate today in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and Quetta is generally the same across the country. Small differences you might see at individual shops usually come from making charges, taxes, or a dealer's own margin — not a different underlying gold price.
The rate can change several times a day, moving with the international bullion spot price and the USD to PKR exchange rate. Jewellers' associations typically issue at least one official revision per day, more often when global prices are volatile.
A tola is a traditional South Asian weight unit equal to 11.6638 grams, and it's still the standard unit jewellers in Pakistan quote gold prices in. The gram rate is simply the tola rate divided by 11.6638, useful for smaller purchases or comparing with international per-gram pricing.
24K is best for investment purposes like bars and coins because it's the purest and closest to the spot price. 22K and 21K are the most common choices for jewellery, offering a good balance of purity and durability. 18K is more durable and affordable, often chosen for daily-wear pieces.
Yes, the official gold rate is generally uniform nationwide since it's set by jewellers' associations based on the international price. Minor differences between individual shops usually come from making charges or dealer margins, not the base gold price.
The international spot price (in USD per troy ounce) is converted to PKR using the live exchange rate, then divided by 31.1035 to get a per-gram price, and multiplied by 11.6638 for a per-tola price. Lower karats are calculated as a percentage of the 24K rate based on purity.
No. The gold rate reflects only the value of the raw metal. Making charges, applicable taxes, and any dealer margin are added separately by the jeweller at the time of purchase.
