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.
What a gold comparison must include
Gold produces no interest or dividend. A fair comparison therefore includes the buy/sell spread, jewellery making charges, purity testing, storage, liquidity, zakat and the possibility of long price declines. Historical rupee appreciation alone cannot determine whether gold fits a person's time horizon or risk capacity. The gold guide explains these checks without prescribing an allocation.
Zakat note: 2.5% is a commonly used rate after the applicable nisab and lunar-year conditions are met, but treatment can differ by school and circumstances. The zakat calculator is arithmetic, not a religious ruling.
