Gold Rate in Pakistan Today – Live 24K, 22K, 21K & 18K Price per Tola
Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
The gold rate in Pakistan today is updated daily based on the international gold market and the official announcement by the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA). This page shows the most current gold rate for 24 karat, 22 karat, 21 karat, and 18 karat gold in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) per tola and per gram.
Pakistan gold rates are measured primarily in tola (1 tola = 11.664 grams) and grams. All major karat purities are available on this page for both units.
Why Do Gold Rates Change Daily in Pakistan?
Gold rates in Pakistan change every working day due to two major factors:
- International Gold Price (COMEX/London Fix): Gold is traded globally in US Dollars per troy ounce. The international price sets the base value for Pakistani gold rates.
- USD to PKR Exchange Rate: Since gold is priced in dollars internationally, the rupee-dollar exchange rate directly affects the local gold price. When the dollar strengthens against PKR, gold rates in Pakistan go up even if the international price stays the same.
24K Gold Rate Per Tola in Pakistan
24 karat gold is the purest form with 99.9% purity. It is the benchmark from which all other karat prices are derived. 24K gold is primarily used for investment — gold bars, coins, and certificates — rather than everyday jewellery, because pure gold is too soft to hold intricate designs.
22K Gold Rate Per Tola in Pakistan
22 karat gold with 91.6% purity is the most popular gold for jewellery in Pakistan. Most bridal sets, bangles, necklaces, and traditional gold ornaments are made in 22K gold. The 8.4% alloy makes it durable enough for daily wear while retaining high gold content.
The 22K rate per tola = 24K rate × 22/24 = 24K rate × 0.9167
21K Gold Rate Per Tola in Pakistan
21 karat gold has 87.5% purity. It is popular in Gulf countries and among Pakistanis who buy Middle Eastern gold designs. Some jewellers stock 21K gold for customers wanting slightly more durable pieces at a lower price than 22K.
18K Gold Rate Per Tola in Pakistan
18 karat gold with 75% purity is commonly used for diamond jewellery settings. Its higher alloy content makes it harder and more suitable for holding precious stones. 18K is favoured by high-end jewellery brands.
