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.
Karachi Sets the Benchmark
When Pakistanis talk about “today’s gold rate”, the number usually originates in Karachi. The city’s bullion market is where the jewellers’ and Sarafa associations set the daily base rate, working off international spot converted to rupees — the same calculation this page shows live. Other cities quote around that base within a very narrow band.
That gives Karachi buyers one practical advantage: proximity to the wholesale market means the spread between the announced rate and what you actually pay for bullion is usually the thinnest in the country.
Where Karachi Buys Gold
The bullion and wholesale trade runs through the old city — the Sarafa Bazaar in the Jodia Bazaar area handles bars, biscuits and dealer-to-dealer volume. Retail jewellery is strongest along Tariq Road, with higher-end and branded showrooms around Zamzama and Clifton.
As everywhere in Pakistan, the gold content is priced off the same benchmark in all of these markets; the difference between a bazaar workshop and a mall showroom is in making charges, certification and after-sale service.
Karachi’s main gold markets
- Sarafa Bazaar (Jodia Bazaar, old city) — bullion, biscuits and wholesale volume
- Tariq Road — the city’s densest retail jewellery strip
- Zamzama & Clifton — branded showrooms and certified pieces
Buying Safely in Karachi
For investment buying — bars and biscuits — the bullion market trades closest to the announced rate, and established dealers will test and certify purity on the spot. For jewellery, the same rules apply in Karachi as anywhere: split the quote, weigh the piece, and get the karat on paper.
Checklist before you pay
- For bars and biscuits, buy as close to the bullion market rate as possible — the premium should be thin
- Ask for the quote split into gold content, making charges and wastage
- Confirm the karat in writing and prefer hallmarked or certified pieces
- Weigh the piece on a calibrated scale in front of you
- Keep receipts with serial numbers for bars — they matter at resale

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.
