What Is Today’s Gold Rate in Pakistan?
According to the Karachi sarafa board published this morning, the gold price in Pakistan on 24 October 2026 is:
- 24K gold: Rs 421,800 per tola (down Rs 400 from Rs 422,200 yesterday)
- 22K gold: Rs 386,700 per tola
- 21K gold: Rs 369,100 per tola
- 18K gold: Rs 316,400 per tola
This is the Karachi benchmark rate — the reference the rest of the country’s sarafa markets follow. A shop in Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar or Quetta will typically quote Rs 100–500 above or below this number depending on local demand and making charges, so confirm the final price with your own jeweller.
Over the past week, 24K gold has traded between Rs 421,800 and Rs 439,600 per tola — today’s rate is at the lower end of that range, and over the past 30 days it has fallen about 8% from Rs 459,400. If you have been waiting to buy, the market is currently softer than it was earlier this month.
Gold Rate by Karat and Weight
The table below converts today’s board rate into the weights Pakistani buyers actually use. Per-tola, per-10-gram and per-gram figures are directly from the morning board; the kilogram and ounce figures are standard conversions (1 tola = 11.6638 grams, 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams).
| Weight | 24K | 22K | 21K | 18K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | Rs 36,163 | Rs 33,151 | Rs 31,643 | Rs 27,122 |
| 5 grams | Rs 180,816 | Rs 165,754 | Rs 158,214 | Rs 135,612 |
| 10 grams | Rs 361,632 | Rs 331,508 | Rs 316,428 | Rs 271,224 |
| 1 tola (11.6638 g) | Rs 421,800 | Rs 386,700 | Rs 369,100 | Rs 316,400 |
| 1 troy ounce (31.1035 g) | Rs 1,124,801 | Rs 1,031,105 | Rs 984,201 | Rs 843,601 |
| 100 grams | Rs 3,616,317 | Rs 3,315,078 | Rs 3,164,278 | Rs 2,712,238 |
A note on purity: 24K is 99.9% pure gold, used for investment bars, coins and biscuits — it is too soft for everyday jewellery. Almost all bridal and traditional jewellery in Pakistan is 22K (hallmark 916), while 21K (875) is the Gulf standard many overseas Pakistanis buy abroad, and 18K (750) is used for lighter, stone-set and modern designs.
Why Trackers Show Different Rates Today
If you check more than one gold-rate website this morning, you may see different numbers. That is normal, and this is what is happening today:
| Detail | Current research finding |
|---|---|
| Karachi sarafa board figure (24K/tola) | Rs 421,800, down Rs 400 — posted 5:00 AM PKT |
| APSGJA-citing trackers (24K/tola) | Rs 423,500, unchanged from 23 Oct — association bulletin not independently read by us; treat as tracker figure |
| Another live tracker (24K/tola) | Rs 421,010, down Rs 533 — tracker estimate, not confirmed |
| Silver (per tola) | Rs 5,693 on one tracker; yesterday’s association bulletin was Rs 5,865 — today’s silver rate is not confirmed |
The differences are small — roughly Rs 1,500–2,500 on a tola, under 1%. They come from the source each tracker uses: some compute the rate from the international spot price and the open-market dollar (a live estimate), while others republish the APSGJA bulletin. Both methods are estimates of the same market, and neither is the exact price your jeweller will charge you.
What to do with this: use the table above as a guide and ask your jeweller which board or bulletin they follow. Any jeweller’s quote within a few hundred rupees of Rs 421,800–423,500 per tola is consistent with today’s market. A quote far outside that range deserves a second opinion.
How the Gold Rate Is Calculated
The Pakistani board rate is not picked at random. It follows a standard formula:
Tola price (PKR) = (LBMA USD per ounce × USD/PKR × 11.6638 ÷ 31.1035) + local premium
The international spot price per troy ounce is converted into rupees per tola, and a local sarafa-market premium — covering import costs, duties, dealer margins and local demand — is added. Today’s numbers:
- LBMA spot gold: $3,996.90 per ounce
- USD/PKR open market: Rs 279.76 (the rate remittance users actually transact at)
- USD/PKR interbank: Rs 276.99 (State Bank of Pakistan reference — a different number)
- Local premium: Rs 2,500 per tola
Worked out: (3,996.90 × 279.76 × 11.6638 ÷ 31.1035) + 2,500 = Rs 421,814, posted on the board as Rs 421,800 — sarafa boards quote in round hundreds.
Lower karats are derived from the 24K benchmark by purity factor: 22K = ×0.9167, 21K = ×0.875, 18K = ×0.75.
How to Check the Daily Gold Rate Yourself
Before you buy or sell, verify the day’s rate in under a minute. Here is how:
- Check a same-day rate board. Look for a page that stamps the date and time — today’s board was posted at 5:00 AM PKT. A rate page without a timestamp may be showing yesterday’s board.
- Match the purity and weight. Jewellers quote jewellery in 22K (or 21K) per tola. The 24K rate is the investment benchmark — do not compare a 22K jewellery quote against the 24K number.
- Ask your jeweller their source. Say: “Aaj board rate kya hai, aur aap kaun sa bulletin follow karte hain?” (What is today’s board rate, and which bulletin do you follow?)
- Get the purity in writing. Ask for the hallmark (916 for 22K, 875 for 21K, 750 for 18K) on the item and on the receipt.
- Weigh on a certified scale. Confirm the weight on a certified scale before paying, and check whether stones are included in the weight — stones are not gold.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Paying the 24K rate for 22K jewellery. Jewellery is almost never 24K. Confirm the karat and pay the matching rate.
- Expecting making charges to come back on resale. Making charges (typically 8–20% of the gold value) are a one-time cost. When you sell, the shop pays metal value minus a margin.
- Trusting a single forwarded WhatsApp rate. Old boards circulate on WhatsApp for days. Check a dated, same-day source.
- Ignoring the rupee side of the equation. Gold falls in rupees when either the dollar price or the USD/PKR rate falls — today both are soft, which is why the tola price is down.
- Selling to an unknown buyer for a “better” rate. If someone offers far above the board rate, it is usually a scam. Sell only to a shop with a verifiable name and address.
FAQs
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?

How many grams are in one tola?
One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams. One troy ounce is 31.1035 grams — about 2.67 tolas.
Why is the rate different from what my jeweller quoted?
City boards follow the Karachi benchmark, but shops add their own margin, making charges and taxes, and some follow the APSGJA bulletin rather than the Karachi board. A difference of Rs 100–500 per tola is normal; a large gap is not.
Is today a good day to buy gold?
24K has fallen roughly 8% over the past 30 days, and today’s rate sits at the lower end of this week’s range. Whether it falls further depends on the international price and the dollar — neither can be predicted reliably, so buy to your need, not to the chart.
What is the silver rate today?
A live tracker shows Rs 5,693 per tola today; yesterday’s association bulletin was Rs 5,865. Today’s silver figure is not confirmed — verify with your sarafa shop before transacting.
How often is the rate updated?
The Karachi sarafa board is posted during market hours on working days. Friday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays usually carry the previous board. This article’s rate is from Saturday 24 October, 5:00 AM PKT.
Where can I check the official rate?
The official country benchmark is the APSGJA bulletin; the Karachi board figure used here was cross-checked against the international LBMA spot price and the open-market dollar. The State Bank of Pakistan publishes the interbank dollar rate used for reference.
Final Thoughts
Gold in Pakistan is having a soft week: Rs 421,800 per tola today on the Karachi board, down Rs 400 from yesterday and near the bottom of this week’s range. If you are buying jewellery, pay the 22K rate (Rs 386,700), get the hallmark in writing, and weigh everything on a certified scale.
A final caution: small tracker-to-tracker differences are normal, but the board rate is an indicative benchmark, not a shop price. Always confirm the final rate with your own jeweller on the day — and never deal with anyone who offers a rate far above the board.
