A note on the "per ounce" figures above: gold is internationally traded in troy ounces (31.1035 grams), not the everyday avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 grams) used for weighing most other goods. The ounce column in the table above appears to use the everyday ounce, which is why it differs from the industry-standard troy ounce figure.
Using the troy ounce the figure you'll see quoted internationally 24K gold works out to approximately Rs1,290,666.7 per ounce, not the Rs1,176,120 shown in the table. If you're comparing Pakistani gold rates to international spot prices, use the troy-ounce figure.
24K Gold Rate Per Tola, Gram and 10 Grams
24K is pure gold the benchmark every other karat is priced against. Today's rate:
- 1 tola: Rs484,000
- 1 gram: Rs41,495.9
- 10 grams: Rs414,959.1
One tola equals roughly 11.6638 grams the traditional South Asian weight unit that's still how most local jewellers quote and transact, even though gram-based pricing is what you'll see on international charts.
22K, 21K and 18K Gold Rates Explained
Lower karats simply mean less pure gold mixed with other metals, and the pricing follows the purity ratio exactly:
- 22K is 22/24 pure — Rs443,666.67 per tola, most common for everyday jewellery in Pakistan
- 21K is 21/24 pure — Rs423,500 per tola
- 18K is 18/24 pure — Rs363,000 per tola, more common in Western-style jewellery designs
If you're buying jewellery rather than investment gold, the karat matters for durability as much as price — 22K is softer and shows wear faster than 18K, which is why rings and bracelets that see daily contact are often made in the lower karats despite costing less per gram.
What Causes Gold Price Fluctuations?
Gold prices move on a mix of global and local factors:
- Interest rates and monetary policy — gold pays no interest, so when interest rates rise, holding cash or bonds becomes relatively more attractive, and gold demand tends to soften
- Inflation — gold has traditionally been used to preserve value when currency purchasing power falls
- Geopolitical tensions — uncertainty tends to push investors toward gold as a safe asset
- Currency markets — since gold is priced internationally in US dollars, movements in the dollar affect local prices even when the international gold price itself hasn't changed
- Investment and jewellery demand — seasonal buying, particularly around weddings and festivals in Pakistan, adds local demand pressure on top of international pricing
Local Pakistani rates also move with the rupee-dollar exchange rate independently of the international gold price — a weaker rupee can push local gold prices up even on a day when international gold is flat or falling.
How the US Dollar Affects Gold Prices
International gold trades in US dollars, so the dollar's strength has a direct, mechanical effect on price: when the dollar weakens against other currencies, gold typically becomes cheaper for buyers holding those other currencies, which tends to increase demand and push the dollar price of gold up. A stronger dollar generally works in the opposite direction.
For Pakistani buyers, there's a second layer on top of this. The local price depends on both the international dollar price of gold and the rupee's exchange rate against the dollar so it's genuinely possible for local gold prices to rise even if the international dollar price stays flat, purely because the rupee weakened.
Gold Calculator for Different Purities
Gold calculations vary by quantity, unit, currency and karat, so a rate quoted per tola in 24K isn't directly comparable to a rate quoted per gram in 22K without converting both to the same basis first. When comparing prices between jewellers, confirm which karat and which unit each price refers to before assuming one quote is better than another.
What to Watch in the Gold Market
International gold prices, US monetary policy decisions, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, and seasonal jewellery demand are the factors most likely to move Pakistani gold rates in the near term. Since local rates can shift daily, check back for the current figure rather than relying on a rate from even a few days ago.
