Good to know
Is the Rate the Same Everywhere?
Yes. The APGJSA announces one official gold rate for the whole of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and every other city follow the same number.
Shop prices can still be a little different. On 5 October 2026, market selling quotes reported by Daily Pakistan were about Rs 437,000 in Lahore and Rs 438,000 in Karachi. The gap comes from the dealer’s own margin, not a different city rate.
Always ask the shop which rate it is using and compare it with the official rate on this page.

24K vs 22K vs 21K vs 18K — Which Gold Is Pure?
People often get confused here, so let’s keep it simple.
24K is the purest gold, but it is soft, so it is rarely used for daily jewellery. Jewellers mix it with small amounts of silver or copper to make it stronger. The karat number tells you how much real gold is in the mix, and the hallmark stamp inside the piece shows it in numbers.
| Karat | Purity | Stamp | Per Tola | Best For |
| 24K | 99.9% | 999 | 437,536 | Bars, coins, saving |
| 22K | 91.6% | 916 | 401,075 | Bridal & gift jewellery |
| 21K | 87.5% | 875 | 382,844 | Everyday jewellery |
| 18K | 75% | 750 | 328,152 | Light, stone-set jewellery |
Simple rule of thumb:
The higher the karat, the higher the price and the softer the metal. If you are buying gold only to save money, 24K bars or coins make sense. For jewellery you will wear every day, 22K or 21K holds up better and costs less.
Step by step
How Gold Price in Pakistan Is Set
- World price: gold is traded in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1 grams). On 5 October 2026 it was about $4,150 per ounce.
- Convert to tola: one ounce is about 2.67 tola, so the world price is turned into a per-tola price.
- Dollar rate: that price is multiplied by the rupee–dollar rate. A weaker rupee means costlier gold, even when world gold is flat.
- APGJSA rate: the Sarafa association adds local market costs and premium, then announces the official daily rate.
- Shop price: your jeweller sells at this rate plus making charges (often 5% to 15% for jewellery) and a small margin.

Why Websites Show Different Rates
On 5 October 2026, gold rate websites in Pakistan showed different numbers, and some had not been updated for days or weeks. The common reasons:
- Old data – the page still shows last week’s rate.
- Rounded rate – e.g. Rs 437,500 instead of Rs 437,536.
- Dealer price – a shop margin is already added.
- Raw conversion – world price × dollar rate only, without the local premium.
We show the official APGJSA rate and the exact date it was set.
