One gram of 24K gold costs Rs 36,037, 22K costs Rs 33,034, 21K costs Rs 31,532 and 18K costs Rs 27,028 (30 October 2026). Jewellery adds making charges on top.

One tola is 11.6638 grams. A tola has 12 masha, and a masha has 8 ratti, so one masha is about 0.972 g and one ratti about 0.1215 g. "10 grams" prices are slightly lower than tola prices because 10 g is less than a tola.

24K is pure gold (99.9%) and is used for bars and coins. 22K is 91.6% gold, 21K is 87.5% and 18K is 75%; the rest is copper, silver or zinc, which makes jewellery harder. Lower karat means a lower price per gram.

Over the last 30 days the 24K rate has fallen 2.5%, moving between Rs 420,328 and Rs 442,501 per tola. Compared with a year ago it is up 0.6%. Past movement does not predict future prices.

The Pakistani rate starts from the international spot price in US dollars (now $3,992.20 per ounce), converted at the dollar-rupee rate (Rs 279.37). The local Sarafa market then adds or subtracts a premium depending on demand, import costs and supply.

International prices and exchange rates are refreshed about every 10 minutes. Each day's closing rate is saved, so you can look up past prices in the gold price history.

The rate is broadly the same across Pakistan because it follows the same international price and dollar rate. Local Sarafa associations can differ by a small amount, and jewellers' making charges vary by city and shop.

Jewellery price = weight × today's rate for its karat + making charges (a fixed amount per gram/tola or a percentage). For example, 10 g of 22K at Rs 33,034/g is Rs 330,339 of gold before making charges. Our gold calculator does this for you.

When you sell or exchange jewellery, jewellers usually deduct a percentage (katt) for impurities, solder and the making charge that cannot be recovered. Ask for the deduction in writing before selling; bars and coins usually get a much smaller deduction than jewellery.

The nisab is 7.5 tola (87.48 g) of gold. At today's 24K rate that is about Rs 3,152,463. Many people use the silver nisab (52.5 tola), which today is about Rs 281,748. Zakat is 2.5% of zakatable wealth held for a lunar year — ask a scholar for your situation.

Buy from a known jeweller, check the karat stamp (e.g. 22K or 916), and get a receipt that shows weight, karat, gold value and making charge separately. For certainty, have the piece tested at an assay lab. Sealed bars and coins come with a certificate.

On 30 October 2026, silver in Pakistan is Rs 5,367 per tola, Rs 4,601 per 10 grams and Rs 460.11 per gram.

Silver is $50.97 per troy ounce (31.1 g) internationally today.

The silver nisab is 52.5 tola (612.36 g). At today's rate that is about Rs 281,748.

999 (fine) silver is 99.9% pure and is used for bars and coins. 925 (sterling) silver is 92.5% silver and is used for jewellery and utensils because it is harder.

Silver is both a precious metal and an industrial metal (solar panels, electronics), so its price reacts to the economy as well as to investment demand. It usually rises and falls faster than gold in percentage terms.

Among the 60 countries we track, 24K gold is cheapest today in Bahrain at BHD 48.26 per gram (about Rs 35,503) and most expensive in Pakistan at about Rs 36,037 per gram. These are metal prices before local taxes and making charges.

All countries start from the same international price. Differences come from import duties, sales tax or VAT, local supply and demand, and currency movements. Gulf countries with low taxes, such as the UAE, are often among the cheapest.

24K gold in the UAE is about Rs 35,858 per gram today versus Rs 36,037 in Pakistan — the metal value is about the same. The real difference comes from 5% UAE VAT on jewellery (investment bars are zero-rated), making charges, and Pakistan's customs and baggage rules.

Multiply the weight in grams by today's per-gram rate for its karat. Example: 5 g of 22K × Rs 33,034 = Rs 165,170. For jewellery add the making charge; when selling, subtract the jeweller's deduction (katt).

Multiply tola by 11.6638. For example 2.5 tola = 29.16 g. To convert grams to tola, divide by 11.6638.

Divide the karat by 24: 22K ÷ 24 = 91.6%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75%. Pure gold content = weight × purity.

Add the value of gold, silver, cash and business assets you have held for a lunar year, subtract debts due, and if the total is above the nisab pay 2.5%. The calculator's zakat tab uses today's rates.

One US dollar is about Rs 276.60 today (30 October 2026). The Saudi riyal is Rs 73.76, the UAE dirham Rs 75.32 and the British pound Rs 369.22.

We show a reference mid-market rate from international exchange-rate data, refreshed several times a day. Banks and exchange companies buy and sell at slightly different rates and may charge fees.

Gold is priced in US dollars, so when the rupee weakens against the dollar the rupee price of gold rises even if the world price is unchanged.

Prices follow today's gold rate: the gold value of the piece (weight × purity × rate) plus the jeweller's making charge, shown separately on each product. Prices update automatically when the rate changes.

Some jewellers set a minimum price. If today's gold rate brings the price below it, online ordering pauses and you can message the jeweller for a quote instead.
