Frequently Asked Questions
How Gold Rates Are Set in Pakistan
Gold rates in Pakistan are primarily determined by two factors: the international gold price (quoted in USD per troy ounce on the London Bullion Market) and the USD to PKR exchange rate. The All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association announces official gold rates daily, typically in the morning, based on the previous night's international closing price converted to Pakistani Rupees. Local supply and demand, import duties, and dealer margins are then added to arrive at the retail price consumers pay at jewellery shops and sarafa bazaars across Pakistan.
24K vs 22K vs 18K Gold — What's the Difference?
Gold purity is measured in karats (K). 24 karat gold is the purest form, containing 99.9% gold with virtually no other metals mixed in — it is too soft for most jewellery but is used for gold bars, coins, and investment purposes. 22 karat gold contains approximately 91.7% gold mixed with other metals like copper or silver to add durability, making it the most common choice for jewellery in Pakistan. 18 karat gold contains 75% gold and is used for more intricate jewellery designs where greater hardness is needed. The price per tola or gram decreases as the karat rating decreases.
Tola, Gram, and Masha — Pakistani Gold Measurements
Pakistan uses traditional South Asian units of weight for gold alongside the metric system. One tola equals approximately 11.664 grams and is the most commonly used unit for quoting gold prices in Pakistan's sarafa markets. One masha equals one-twelfth of a tola, or approximately 0.972 grams. International gold markets quote prices per troy ounce (31.1 grams), so converting between systems is important for accurate pricing. The calculator above handles all these conversions automatically, allowing you to check the current value of your gold in tolas, grams, or mashas at live market rates.
Gold as an Investment in Pakistan
Gold has historically been one of the most popular stores of value in Pakistan, particularly during periods of rupee depreciation or economic uncertainty. Unlike bank deposits or real estate, physical gold is liquid, portable, and universally recognized. Many Pakistani households maintain gold holdings as a hedge against inflation and currency risk. However, gold investment carries risks including price volatility linked to global markets, making cost, import duties, and timing important considerations. Always check live gold rates before buying or selling to ensure you are transacting at fair market value.
