The gold rate in Pakistan today, 23 October 2026, is Rs426,500 per tola for 24K gold, according to rate trackers quoting the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) board this morning. That is Rs3,000 lower than yesterday’s close, continuing the downward slide in local bullion prices.
This guide gives you the full karat table for 23 October 2026 (24K, 22K, 21K and 18K), per-tola and per-10-gram prices, the reported silver rate, and how the daily rate is actually decided. One honest note before we start: different trackers quote slightly different figures at different times of the day because gold moves with the international spot price. The figures below are the morning board rates carried by multiple trackers; the Sarafa board at your local market is the final authority on what you actually pay.

What Is the 24K Gold Price Per Tola Today?
The headline rate for 24-karat gold today is Rs426,500 per tola (11.66 grams). Three independent rate trackers carrying the APGJSA board figure quote the same number this morning, which is a good sign that this is the consensus morning rate.
That is Rs3,000 less than the Rs429,500 per tola reported yesterday — a drop of roughly 0.7% in a single day. The broader trend has been downward for over a week: one tracker records the 24K rate at Rs435,000 per tola on 12 October, meaning gold is about Rs8,500 cheaper per tola than it was eleven days ago.
Does every city pay the same rate?
The board rate is a national reference. In practice, city markets can quote slightly differently — one market reference listed Karachi and Lahore within a few hundred rupees of the board — but do not assume the exact number on one website is what your jeweller will charge: making charges, wastage and the jeweller’s margin are always added on top.
How Does Today’s Rate Compare With Yesterday’s?
| Detail | 22 October 2026 | 23 October 2026 (today) |
|---|---|---|
| 24K per tola | Rs429,500 (reported) | Rs426,500 (reported) |
| 24K per 10 grams | ~Rs368,230 (calculated from per-tola rate) | Rs365,660 (reported) |
| 22K per tola | ~Rs393,813 (reported for 21 Oct; 22 Oct tracker figure varied) | Rs391,064 (reported) |
| Day change | — | Down ~Rs3,000 per tola |
Yesterday’s figures come from our 22 October report. The pattern is consistent: gold has fallen for three straight sessions against the global bullion market.
What Are the 22K, 21K and 18K Rates Today?
Most jewellery in Pakistan is sold at 22K or 21K, not 24K, so the rate that matters for buyers is usually one of these:
| Karat | Per Tola (reported) | Per 10 Grams (reported) | Per Gram (calculated) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | Rs426,500 | Rs365,660 | ~Rs36,569 |
| 22K | Rs391,064 | Rs335,189 | ~Rs33,533 |
| 21K | Rs373,289 | Rs319,953 | ~Rs32,016 |
| 18K | Rs319,962 | Rs274,245 | ~Rs27,436 |
A note on this table: the per-tola and per-10-gram figures are the ones quoted by the trackers; the per-gram figures are calculated from the per-tola rate (1 tola = 11.66 grams) and are approximate. One tracker quoted a slightly different 22K figure (Rs390,952) — differences of a few hundred rupees between trackers are normal and do not change the picture.
What Is the Silver Rate in Pakistan Today?
Silver is also down today. The reported silver rate is Rs6,086 per tola, about Rs121 lower than yesterday. That works out to roughly Rs5,217 per 10 grams. As with gold, tracker figures for silver vary more than for gold — another tracker quoted Rs6,200 per tola — so treat the Rs6,086 figure as indicative, not exact.
Why Do Gold Rates Keep Changing in Pakistan?
- International spot price: domestic rates track global bullion, quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. International gold is being referenced around US$4,153–4,171 per ounce today (reference values, not confirmed live quotations).
- Rupee vs dollar: because global gold is priced in dollars, a weaker rupee pushes the local per-tola price up even when the global price is flat.
- Local demand and premiums: wedding-season demand and local market conditions add a small premium over the international price.
- Timing of the quote: the Sarafa board updates during the day; a figure captured at 9 AM can differ from one captured at 3 PM.
How Has Gold Performed Over the Last Two Weeks?
The slide is not a one-day event. One tracker’s historical series shows a steady decline through October:
| Date | 24K Per Tola (reported) |
|---|---|
| 12 Oct 2026 | Rs435,000 |
| 14 Oct 2026 | Rs432,500 |
| 16 Oct 2026 | Rs434,000 |
| 19 Oct 2026 | Rs432,200 |
| 21 Oct 2026 | Rs429,500 |
| 23 Oct 2026 (today) | Rs426,500 |
That is roughly Rs8,500 off the tola in eleven days — about a 2% drop. Historical rates help you compare market movements, but they do not predict where the price goes next; gold can reverse on any international headline.
How to Check the Official Daily Gold Rate
- Check the Sarafa board: the Karachi Sarafa market board (published by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association) is the reference most trackers quote.
- Compare two or three trackers: if pakistanstoday, tekibin and techx all agree — as they do this morning — you are looking at the consensus morning rate.
- Ask your local jeweller: the board rate is the raw metal price. Your jeweller’s selling price adds making charges and wastage — always ask for these to be stated separately.
- Check the date on the quote: never buy on the basis of yesterday’s number. Gold moves daily; confirm the rate the same day you buy.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Gold
- Assuming the online rate is the selling price — it never includes making charges or wastage.
- Buying 24K for jewellery — pure gold is too soft for daily wear; jewellery is almost always 22K or 21K.
- Not checking the purity stamp — always confirm the karat marking on the piece and get it on the receipt.
- Paying before the rate is fixed — agree the day’s rate and the making charges in writing before handing over money.
- Treating one tracker’s number as final — when trackers disagree (as they do on silver today), the local Sarafa board is the authority.
