How the Gold Price in Pakistan Is Decided
The gold price in Pakistan follows the international spot price converted at the open-market US dollar rate, plus the local sarafa premium. One national benchmark applies across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and Quetta — what differs from city to city is only the jeweller’s making charges.

1 tola of 24K gold costs Rs 439,272 today. For 22K (jewellery grade) it’s Rs 402,666 per tola.

Compare today’s Rs 439,272/tola with the 30-day chart — buying near the low is smarter than chasing a peak. For weddings, staggering purchases beats timing perfectly.
Making (banwai) charges range 8–20% of the gold value depending on design — simple bands cost less, kundan/meenakari more. Our jewellery calculator adds them for you.
Zakat is 2.5% of market value only if your total gold reaches nisab (7.5 tola) for a lunar year. On 1 tola alone, no zakat is due — use our zakat calculator.
Gold rises in Pakistan when the international spot price climbs, the rupee weakens against the dollar, or local festive/wedding demand surges. Global uncertainty also pushes investors toward gold.
Gold has preserved wealth in Pakistan for decades and hedges rupee depreciation, but it pays no interest and short-term prices swing. Most advisors suggest a modest allocation, not all savings.
