24K GOLD · PKR PER TOLA · HISTORY

A six-year climb, decoded.

The chart tracks the 24-karat gold rate per tola over roughly the last six years. The steep rise reflects two forces in the same direction: a rising international gold price and a weaker rupee. For a Pakistani saver, gold has behaved like a hedge against both global uncertainty and local currency depreciation.

PROJECTED VALUE OVER TIME - GOLD vs NATIONAL SAVINGS vs CASH
Gold value uses your expected growth rate. "If kept as cash" erodes by current CPI inflation. "National Savings" compounds at the best public certificate rate. Projections are illustrative, not guarantees - gold can fall as well as rise.
Estimates for guidance only - not investment advice. Gold can fall as well as rise. Local jewellers add making charges. Verify the live rate before buying.

How gold pricing works in Pakistan

Gold trades globally in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1035 g) of pure 24-karat gold. Pakistan quotes gold in rupees per tola (11.6638 g), and also per 10 grams and per gram. Because two variables drive the rupee price - the global gold price and the exchange rate - Pakistani gold can rise even when international gold is flat, simply because the rupee weakened. Purity matters: 22K ≈ 91.7% of 24K, 21K ≈ 87.5%, 18K ≈ 75%. The daily reference is published by the Sarafa associations; the shop price also adds making charges.

Is gold a good investment?

Gold's strength is holding value when the rupee and other assets wobble - over recent years it has broadly kept pace with, and at times beaten, inflation. Its weakness is that it produces no income: a tola pays nothing while you hold it, and the price can stall or fall for long stretches, with real storage costs. A balanced approach treats gold as a 10-20% diversifier, not a core holding. For a structured allocation, use the investment comparison tool or read the full gold investment guide.

Zakat on gold: if your gold - alone or with cash and other zakatable wealth - exceeds the nisab and is held for one lunar year, zakat is 2.5% of its market value. Work it out with the zakat calculator.

FAQ

Gold rate questions

What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
The live 24K and 22K rate per tola, 10 gram and gram is shown at the top of this page and refreshes daily. Local jewellers add making and other charges, so the price you pay in a shop is usually a little higher than the reference rate.
How is the gold price calculated?
Gold is priced internationally in US dollars per troy ounce of 24K gold. The rupee price per tola moves with both the global gold price and the PKR/USD exchange rate. One tola is 11.6638 grams; 22K is about 91.7% of the 24K rate.
Is gold a good investment in Pakistan?
Gold has historically protected savings against rupee depreciation and inflation, but it pays no income and prices can fall. It works best as a 10-20% diversifier within a wider portfolio, not as your only investment.
Should I buy 24K or 22K gold?
24K is purer and is the cleaner store of value for investment (coins and bars). 22K is standard for jewellery because it is more durable, but you also pay making charges on jewellery, which you do not fully recover on resale.
Do I pay zakat on gold?
Yes - if your gold is above the nisab and held for one lunar year, zakat is 2.5% of its market value. Use the zakat calculator to work out the amount.
