Gold prices in Pakistan moved up again on Monday, 26 October 2026. According to rates issued by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association and reported by APP, the price of 24-karat gold rose by Rs1,400 per tola to Rs423,436 per tola. The price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold increased by Rs1,201 to Rs363,028, while 10 grams of 22-karat gold rose by Rs1,101 to Rs332,787.
This guide gives you today’s confirmed rates, the full karat table, and the checks you should make before buying jewellery or bullion. One honest note up front: gold rates reported by different websites and local jewellers can differ slightly on the same day, because local markets quote with small city and dealer differences. The figures in this article are the association’s rates as reported on 26 October 2026. Always confirm the live rate with your own jeweller before you pay.

Today’s Gold Rates in Detail
The table below shows the association’s confirmed figures for today, with the previous day’s implied rate worked back from the reported increase. The “previous day” column is simple arithmetic (today’s rate minus today’s increase) and is shown only so you can see the size of the move.
| Item | Today (26 Oct 2026) | Change | Previous day (implied) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K gold — per tola | Rs423,436 | +Rs1,400 | Rs422,036 |
| 24K gold — per 10 grams | Rs363,028 | +Rs1,201 | Rs361,827 |
| 22K gold — per 10 grams | Rs332,787 | +Rs1,101 | Rs331,686 |
| International gold — per ounce | $4,009 | +$14 | $3,995 |
| Silver — per tola | Rs5,878 | +Rs20 | Rs5,858 |
| Silver — per 10 grams | Rs5,039 | +Rs17 | Rs5,022 |
| International silver — per ounce | $54 | +$0.20 | $53.80 |
Two cautions apply to this table. First, gold rates are revised during the trading day when international prices or the rupee move, so an evening quote can differ from the morning rate. Second, the rate you are offered at a shop includes the jeweller’s own margin and, for jewellery, making charges — the association rate is the value of the gold itself, not the final shop price. One further note on the “previous day” column: yesterday’s update on this site reported Rs418,000 per tola from a different source series, while today’s reported rise of Rs1,400 implies a previous close of Rs422,036. That gap is the cross-source divergence explained in our 25 October update — different outlets and city boards carried different closing figures — not an error in either figure. Today’s Rs423,436 is the figure to use for today.
Gold Rates by Karat — Full Table
Only the 24-karat per tola and 10-gram rates and the 22-karat 10-gram rate were quoted directly in today’s association report. The other karat figures below are calculated from those quoted rates using standard karat proportions (22K is 22/24 of 24K, 21K is 21/24, 18K is 18/24) and the tola-to-gram conversion (1 tola = 11.6638 grams). Treat them as estimates for comparison, and confirm the exact figure with your jeweller before buying.
| Karat | Per tola | Per 10 grams | Per gram |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K (99.9% pure) | Rs423,436 | Rs363,028 | Rs36,303 |
| 22K (91.7% pure, standard jewellery) | Rs388,156 * | Rs332,787 | Rs33,279 * |
| 21K (87.5% pure) | Rs370,507 * | Rs317,650 * | Rs31,765 * |
| 18K (75% pure) | Rs317,577 * | Rs272,271 * | Rs27,227 * |
* Calculated from the quoted 24K and 22K rates, not separately quoted by the association. Making charges, wastage and shop margins are extra and are not included in any figure in this table.
Why Did Gold Prices Rise Today?
The association’s report links today’s local increase to the international market, where gold rose by $14 to $4,009 per ounce. When the international price rises, the local per-tola rate in Pakistan usually follows, adjusted for the rupee-dollar rate and local market conditions.
What today’s report does not do is give a single cause for the international move. Reports in recent days have pointed to the usual mix — international bullion sentiment, currency movements and investor demand for safe-haven assets — but no single factor is confirmed by the association’s rate release itself. Readers should therefore treat any claim that gold will keep rising, or will fall back tomorrow, as opinion, not fact. Gold has been volatile in recent weeks: our own updates on this site show the 24-karat rate moving in both directions day to day, and today’s rise follows that same up-and-down pattern rather than a steady trend.
Silver moved in the same direction today, rising Rs20 per tola to Rs5,878, with international silver up $0.20 to $54 per ounce. Silver’s smaller move in rupee terms is normal — silver trades at a far lower price per tola than gold, so its daily swings look smaller even when the percentage move is similar.
How to Check Today’s Gold Rate Before You Buy
Do these checks in order, and do not rely on a single screenshot or social media post.
- Start with the association rate. Use the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association rate for the day as your reference — today that is Rs423,436 per tola for 24K.
- Ask your jeweller for the day’s selling rate. Ask separately for the gold value and the making charges. A reputable shop will show both on the receipt.
- Confirm the karat in writing. 22K jewellery should be stamped 916. Check the stamp and make sure the receipt states the karat, the weight in grams or tola, and the rate applied.
- Convert before you agree. If the shop quotes per gram and you are thinking per tola, convert: 1 tola = 11.6638 grams. For example, 10 grams of 22K gold at today’s rate is worth Rs332,787 before making charges.
- Ask about the buy-back and deduction policy. When you later sell or exchange jewellery, jewellers usually deduct a percentage (katt) for impurities, solder and making charges. Ask for that deduction in writing before you buy, not after.
- Keep the receipt and certificate. For bars and coins, insist on a sealed pack with a certificate. For jewellery, keep the stamped invoice — it is your proof of weight and purity if you ever resell.
What Does Today’s Rate Mean for Buyers?
For a buyer, today’s rise adds roughly Rs1,400 to the gold value of every tola of 24K gold compared with yesterday. On a typical 10-gram 22K jewellery piece, the gold value alone is Rs332,787 today, before any making charges — so a Rs1,101 rise in the 10-gram 22K rate flows straight into the shop price.
For investors, the same arithmetic applies in reverse: bars and coins carry far lower making charges than jewellery, so more of what you pay tracks the association rate, and resale usually involves a smaller deduction. That is why investment buyers generally prefer sealed bars or coins over jewellery, while jewellery buyers are paying partly for design and craftsmanship that cannot be recovered on resale.
For wedding and family buyers, the practical point is timing, not prediction. No one can confirm today’s direction for tomorrow. If you must buy this week, the controllable costs are the making charges, the deduction policy and the purity stamp — negotiate those, rather than trying to time a volatile market.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trusting a forwarded rate card. Old rate cards circulate on WhatsApp for days. Check the date on any rate you are shown, and compare it with the association’s rate for today.
- Confusing karats. A 22K price quoted as if it were 24K, or vice versa, changes the value by thousands of rupees per tola. Always confirm which karat the quoted rate is for.
- Ignoring making charges. Two shops can quote the same gold rate and very different final prices, because making charges differ. Compare the total, not just the rate.
- Buying without a stamped receipt. A receipt without weight, karat and rate leaves you with no proof at resale. Do not accept a blank or vague bill.
- Paying an agent for “discount gold”. No official scheme sells gold below the market rate. Anyone offering cheap gold for an advance payment is running a scam — report it and walk away.
- Assuming the rate will hold till evening. Gold rates can be revised during the day. If you are buying later in the day, re-check the rate before paying.

How much is 1 gram of 24K gold today?

Is today a good day to buy gold?
No source confirms where gold will go tomorrow, so this guide does not give buy or sell advice. If you need to buy, focus on what you can control: verified karat, a stamped receipt, written making charges and a clear buy-back policy.
What is the difference between 24K and 22K gold?
24K is about 99.9% pure gold and is used mainly for bars and coins. 22K is about 91.7% gold mixed with other metals, which makes it harder and more suitable for jewellery — that is why most jewellery in Pakistan is 22K.
Do making charges apply to gold bars too?
Bars and coins usually carry a much smaller premium than jewellery, and sealed bars come with a certificate. Jewellery making charges are higher and are generally not recovered when you resell.
Where can I verify the official rate?
Through the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association’s daily rates as carried by mainstream news outlets, and by asking your local sarafa market. This article links the APP report dated 26 October 2026 as its source for today’s figures.

For official rate updates, follow the association’s daily release and your local sarafa market, and never pay anyone in advance for “discount” gold.
