22K Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
Today’s 22K gold rate in Pakistan — per tola, per 10 grams and per gram in rupees, derived live from the international benchmark. 22K is the purity nearly all Pakistani jewellery is made in, so this is the rate that matters when you price a bangle, a set or a bridal order.

22K vs 24K at Today’s Rate
The purity discount is pure arithmetic — 22K carries 91.67% of the gold in 24K, so its rate is exactly that fraction of the benchmark. Both columns update with the live price.
Gold content only, at today’s 22K rate. A finished set adds making charges, wastage and shop margin on top — which is exactly why quotes should always be split into gold and everything else.
Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
Today’s gold rate in Pakistan for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K — shown per tola, per 10 grams and per gram in Pakistani rupees. These figures convert the live international spot price to PKR at the current exchange rate, which is the benchmark Sarafa associations and dealers price from. Retail and jewellery asking prices in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other cities usually sit a few percent higher once making charges, duties and dealer margins are added.
For Pakistanis abroad: 1 tola of 24K gold is worth about $1,525 at today’s spot price. One tola equals 11.664 grams; 10 grams equals about 0.857 tola.
What 22K Actually Means
Karat measures purity in twenty-fourths: 22K is 22 parts gold to 2 parts alloy, or 91.67% pure. The alloy — usually copper and silver — is what gives 22K its strength. Pure gold is soft enough to scratch and bend in daily wear, which is why bangles, chains and bridal sets across Pakistan are made in 22K rather than 24K.
The rate follows directly from purity: the 22K price is the 24K rate multiplied by 0.9167. Every 22K figure on this page is computed exactly that way from the live benchmark, so the discount to 24K you see is the honest arithmetic, not a dealer spread.
What You Actually Pay for 22K Jewellery
The 22K rate prices the gold content only. A finished piece adds making charges (the labour, which scales with intricacy), often a wastage or “kat” allowance, and the shop’s margin. On an ornate bridal set those additions are substantial; on a plain bangle they are modest.
That is why the practical advice is always the same: get the quote split into gold content and everything else. The content is non-negotiable arithmetic off the rate on this page. The rest is where shops differ — and where you negotiate.
Reading a 22K jewellery quote
- Gold content = weight × today’s 22K per-gram rate — check it against this page
- Making charges vary with intricacy and shop — the negotiable part
- Wastage ("kat") should be explicit, not buried in the total
- Hallmarked 22K resells much closer to the rate than unmarked pieces
- Buyback terms differ by jeweller — ask before you buy, not when you sell
Is 22K Right for You?
For jewellery that is worn, 22K is the sensible standard: durable enough for daily use while keeping over nine-tenths of the value in gold. For pure investment, 24K bars and biscuits carry lower making charges and resell closer to spot — the comparison table above shows exactly what the purity difference is worth at today’s rate.
Families splitting the difference often hold both: 22K in ornaments that serve weddings and occasions, 24K in biscuits that serve the balance sheet.

Data Sources & Methodology
Prices on this page start from the live international gold spot price (XAU/USD) and major currency crosses. The per-gram and per-tola values, and the PKR, SAR, INR and other currency views, are all derived from that same benchmark at the current exchange rate.
The Pakistan local-market figures shown in the premium section are transparent estimates, not live quotes from any single dealer or exchange. They add a clearly stated premium range over international spot to reflect duties, refining, making charges and dealer margins.
We deliberately avoid republishing unverified dealer rates circulated on messaging apps or scraped from other sites, because those numbers are often stale, inconsistent, or region-specific. The spot-plus-adjustable-premium model is the most honest and reproducible way to show the gold rate in Pakistan.
Historical prices are daily gold benchmark closes in US dollars and are not inflation-adjusted. For long-term purchasing-power comparisons, pair them with official CPI data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics or the World Gold Council.
