Investment gold: coins, bars and biscuits. Too soft for everyday jewellery, which is why sarafa shops quote it as the benchmark rather than sell it as ornaments.

City rates · 24K per tola
We do not have verified local quotes for these cities right now, so each city shows the Karachi benchmark. Pakistani city boards follow Karachi; local shops typically quote Rs 100–500 above Karachi depending on making charges and local demand. We publish that as a range rather than inventing a per-city price.

How the rate is determined
The formula
tola_price_pkr = (lbma_usd_per_oz × usd_pkr × 11.6638 / 31.1035) + local_premium
One tola is 11.6638 grams and one troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, so dividing by 31.1035 and multiplying by 11.6638 converts the international per-ounce dollar price into a per-tola price. The local premium covers import cost, dealer margin and local demand in the Sarafa market, which is why the Pakistani board rate is never exactly the converted spot price.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
On 9 August 2026, 24K gold is Rs 459,400 per tola and 22K gold is Rs 421,100 per tola on the Karachi Sarafa Bazaar board.
What is today's 24K gold rate per gram?
24K gold is Rs 39,387 per gram, and 10 grams cost Rs 393,868.
How many grams are in one tola?
One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams. A troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, so one ounce is about 2.67 tolas.
How is the Pakistani gold rate calculated?
tola_price_pkr = (lbma_usd_per_oz × usd_pkr × 11.6638 / 31.1035) + local_premium. The LBMA international spot price in dollars per ounce is converted to rupees per tola, then a local Sarafa market premium is added.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold?
Karat measures purity. 24K is 99.9% gold, 22K is 91.6% (hallmark 916), 21K is 87.5% (875, the Gulf standard) and 18K is 75% (750). Prices are derived from the 24K rate using ×0.9167, ×0.875 and ×0.75.
Why do gold rates differ between Pakistani cities?
They mostly do not. City boards follow the Karachi Sarafa benchmark, and local shops typically quote Rs 100–500 above Karachi depending on making charges and local demand. We publish that as a range rather than inventing a per-city price.
Which US dollar rate is used, interbank or open market?
The tola price uses the open-market rate of Rs 280.54 per dollar, because that is what remittance and travel users actually transact at. The State Bank of Pakistan interbank rate is Rs 277.76 and is shown separately.
Why is the Pakistani gold price higher than the international price?
Because of the local premium: import costs, duties, dealer margins and local demand. The converted spot price is the floor, not the shop price.
How often is the rate updated?
The Karachi Sarafa board is posted during market hours on working days and is republished here with its exact timestamp in Pakistan Standard Time. Friday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays usually carry the previous board.
Will I get today's rate if I sell my gold jewellery?
Usually slightly less. The board rate is the metal value at that purity. When buying back, a shop deducts a margin, and making charges paid at purchase are not recovered.
Is gold cheaper in Dubai or Saudi Arabia than in Pakistan?
Often yes on the metal, because Gulf markets carry lower duties and thinner making charges, and 21K (875) is the local standard. Currency movement and the cost of carrying gold back can erase the difference.
Are these rates official?
They mirror the rates published by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association for the Karachi market, benchmarked to LBMA spot and State Bank of Pakistan exchange rates. Always confirm with your local sarafa shop before transacting.
