About this tool
Jewellers in Pakistan quote gold per tola and per gram in rupees, not per troy ounce in dollars. This page takes the live international 24K spot, converts it to PKR, then adds a typical sarafa premium for Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad so the headline is closer to a local board than to a bullion ticker. Pick 24K, 22K, 21K or 18K and a weight in grams to value a piece. The city figure is a market premium, not a shop quote: making charges, stones and the day's board still sit on top. If the live feed is down, a backup rate is labelled as such.
How to use this tool
- Choose the cityKarachi, Lahore or Islamabad. Each uses its own typical sarafa premium on top of the PKR spot.
- Pick the karat24K is the bullion headline. Most jewellery in Pakistan is 22K or 21K. 18K is 75% purity.
- Enter the weight in gramsThe holding value updates with the city tola rate, the per-gram rate, and the premium percentage.
How the gold rate per tola is worked out
One tola is 11.6638 grams, so the rate per tola is the rate per gram multiplied by 11.6638, and 10 grams is about 0.857 tola. Lower karats are priced by purity: 22K is 91.7% gold, 21K is 87.5% and 18K is 75%, so 22K gold costs about 91.7% of the 24K rate.
A jeweller’s final price also includes making charges, which are added on top of the gold value and vary by design and shop. When selling, expect less than the board rate, because shops deduct for purity testing and their margin.
Key features
- PKR per tola and per gram on the same screen, which is how local boards are read.
- City premiums for Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad instead of a single nationwide guess.
- Karat switch so a 22K chain is not valued as if it were 24K.
- Weight box for a real piece, not only the headline tola.
- Spot versus city split so you can see how much of the number is premium.
- Runs in your browser. The weight you type is not stored as a valuation record.
Common uses
- Checking today gold rate in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad before visiting a jeweller.
- Valuing a 22K or 21K piece by gram weight against the city tola.
- Comparing a shop board with international spot plus a typical premium.
- Converting a family tola figure into a gram price for a smaller item.
Tips for better results
- Weigh the metal only. Stones, silk and clasps are not gold.
- A hallmark of 916 is 22K. 875 is often 21K. 750 is 18K.
- The tola used here is 11.6638 g, the South Asian standard.
- Buyers pay below the board and sellers add making charges. Treat this as a negotiation floor.
- If you see a backup-feed label, reload in a minute for a fresh quote.
Mistakes to avoid
- Reading the 24K tola as the price of a 22K bangle. Purity cuts the metal value.
- Expecting a jeweller to match this number on the ticket. Making charges are extra when you buy and a discount when you sell.
- Using an avoirdupois ounce. Gold is troy: 31.1035 g.
- Treating the city premium as an official SBP or government rate. It is a typical sarafa add-on.
Frequently asked questions
The large figure is the selected city, selected karat, per tola in PKR, built from the live international spot plus that city premium. Per gram sits under it. Spot tola without the premium is shown in the small cards so you can see the gap.
One tola is 11.6638 grams. Set weight to 11.66 g (or use the per-tola headline) and pick 24K for bullion or 22K for typical jewellery. The city you choose changes the premium, not the tola weight.
Local boards include a sarafa premium that is not identical in every city. This page models about 1.8% for Karachi, 2.1% for Lahore and 2.0% for Islamabad on top of PKR spot. A given shop can sit above or below that.
The Gold Price tool is multi-currency with silver and more units. This page is Pakistan-only: PKR, tola, three cities, and jewellery karats people actually ask for here.
Usually not the full city board. Dealers buy below spot-plus-premium to cover refining and margin. Use the number as a check on whether an offer is in the right neighbourhood.
No. Making charges are a jeweller add-on when you buy and are not refunded 1:1 when you sell. Subtract stones before you trust the holding value.
The international spot is fetched live and converted to PKR. If the feed fails, a backup is used and labelled. City premiums are typical percentages, not a scraped shop window.
Yes. No account. It is an estimate for planning, not a bullion ticket or tax valuation.
