Gold Price in Pakistan — Per Tola & 10g Rates

Gold holds a special place in Pakistani culture — it is given at weddings, saved as a store of value, and traded as an investment. Our gold price tracker shows you current rates for 24K, 22K, 21K, and 18K gold in both tola and 10-gram units, sourced from international commodity markets and converted to PKR.

The price you see on our tracker is the international spot price converted to PKR. Local jeweller prices in Pakistan include making charges (typically 2-5% of gold value) and vary by city. Always confirm the local price with your jeweller before buying or selling.

Pakistan uses two primary gold weight systems:

• •Tola: 1 tola = 11.66 grams = 180 troy grains. This is the most common unit for gold pricing in Pakistan. When someone says "gold is 214,500 per tola," they mean 24K gold.
• •10 grams: Used in official pricing and hallmarking. 10 grams = 0.857 tola.
• •Troy ounce: Used internationally. 1 troy ounce = 31.103 grams = 2.667 tolas.

Our tracker shows prices in all three units so you can easily compare international and local prices.

Gold prices in Pakistan are driven by two factors:

• •International gold price (USD/oz): Global demand for gold as a safe haven, inflation hedge, and central bank reserves drives the international price.

• •USD/PKR exchange rate: Since gold is priced in USD internationally, a weaker rupee means higher PKR gold prices even if international gold is flat. This is why gold in PKR has risen faster than gold in USD over the past decade.

Other factors include: geopolitical tensions (gold rises during uncertainty), US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions (higher rates make gold less attractive), and local demand (wedding season, Eid, and festival periods increase local gold buying).

For overseas Pakistanis, gold serves as both a cultural and financial asset. Key considerations:

• •Buying abroad vs in Pakistan: Buying gold in the UK, UAE, or US is straightforward through bullion dealers. Bringing gold into Pakistan incurs customs duty of approximately $20 per tola.
• •Storage: Bank lockers in Pakistan cost PKR 5,000-15,000/year and offer security against theft.
• •Zakat: Gold is zakatable at 2.5% of its value if it exceeds the nisab threshold. Use our [Zakat Calculator](/calculators/zakat) to calculate your obligation.
• •Returns: Gold in PKR has returned approximately 11% annually over the past decade, making it a strong hedge against rupee depreciation.
