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.
The Twin-City Gold Market
Islamabad is unusual among Pakistan’s big cities: it has no historic bullion bazaar of its own. The serious gold trade for the capital runs through Rawalpindi’s Sarafa Bazaar in the Raja Bazaar area, which has served the region for generations and quotes directly off the national benchmark.
Inside Islamabad proper, buying is retail-led — jewellers in the F-sector markets and Blue Area, and branded showrooms in the malls. Those shops price gold content off the same benchmark as Rawalpindi; the premium is in making charges and showroom overheads.
Where the twin cities buy gold
- Sarafa Bazaar (Raja Bazaar, Rawalpindi) — the twin cities’ bullion and wholesale centre
- F-sector markets & Blue Area, Islamabad — established retail jewellers
- Malls and branded showrooms — certified pieces at higher making charges
How Islamabad Prices Relate to the National Rate
The tola rate quoted in Islamabad and Rawalpindi tracks the national benchmark — international spot converted to rupees, exactly what this page computes live. There is no capital-city premium on the rate itself.
What buyers in Islamabad do notice is a wider retail spread: with less wholesale competition inside the city, showroom making charges tend to run higher than in Rawalpindi’s bazaar. For bullion, crossing into Rawalpindi usually buys a thinner premium; for certified branded jewellery, the malls compete on service rather than price.
Buying Safely in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
The same discipline applies on either side of the twin cities: the rate is national, so your negotiation is entirely about what sits on top of it.
Checklist before you pay
- For bars and biscuits, compare Rawalpindi Sarafa quotes against Islamabad showrooms — the spread is often the deciding factor
- Ask for gold content, making charges and wastage as separate line items
- Confirm the karat in writing; prefer hallmarked or certified pieces
- Weigh the piece in front of you on a calibrated scale
- Keep serialised receipts for bullion — they smooth resale later

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.
