Gold Price Calculator Pakistan
Calculate the exact value of your gold based on current gold rates, weight, and purity (24K, 22K, 21K, 18K). Enter grams or tola to see the total value in Pakistani Rupees instantly.
Introduction
Gold is one of the most trusted investments in Pakistan. Whether you are buying a wedding set, selling old jewelry, or investing in gold bars, knowing the exact value of your gold is essential. Gold rates fluctuate daily based on international prices, the USD to PKR exchange rate, and local Sarafa market premiums [citation:2]. Many people in Pakistan are unsure how to convert gold weight and purity into rupees. This calculator makes that simple.
What is this calculator?
The Gold Price Calculator Pakistan calculates the value of your gold based on three inputs: weight, purity (karat), and the current gold rate per tola or gram. It covers the common karats sold in Pakistan — 24K (999 pure), 22K, 21K, and 18K — and shows the value in Pakistani Rupees.
How the calculation works
Gold price in Pakistan is typically quoted per tola (11.66 grams) for 24K gold. To calculate the value of gold in a different karat, the calculator first converts the price to per-gram basis and then adjusts for purity. For example, 22K gold is 91.6% pure, so its per-gram rate is lower than 24K.
Formula
Price per Gram (24K) = Price per Tola ÷ 11.66
Price per Gram (Other Karat) = Price per Gram (24K) × (Karat ÷ 24)
Total Value = Weight (grams) × Price per Gram
Total Value (per Tola) = Weight (tola) × Price per Tola
Important terms
- Tola: Standard unit of gold weight in Pakistan, equal to 11.66 grams.
- Karat: Purity measure. 24K = 99.9% pure, 22K = 91.6%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75%.
- Sarafa Market: Gold market where daily rates are set by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association.
- Making Charges: Jeweler's fee for crafting jewelry, separate from gold value.
How to use the calculator
- Enter the weight of your gold.
- Select the unit (grams or tola).
- Select the karat (24K, 22K, 21K, 18K).
- Enter the current gold rate per tola (for 24K).
- Click Calculate Gold Value.
Practical Pakistan-specific example
Example: 2 tola 22K gold jewelry, current rate Rs 2,40,000 per tola (24K)
- Price per gram 24K = 240,000 ÷ 11.66 = Rs. 20,583
- Price per gram 22K = 20,583 × (22/24) = Rs. 18,868
- Weight in grams = 2 × 11.66 = 23.32 grams
- Total Value = 23.32 × 18,868 = Rs. 4,40,000 (approx.)
Factors affecting the result
- Daily gold rate: Changes every day based on international prices and USD/PKR [citation:2].
- Karat purity: Lower karat means lower value per gram.
- Making charges: Jewelers add making charges for new jewelry; this is not part of the gold value.
- Buying vs. selling rate: Sarafa markets have different buying and selling rates; selling rate is usually lower.
Common mistakes
- Using the 24K rate for 22K or 18K gold without adjusting for purity.
- Confusing tola and gram. 1 tola = 11.66 grams, not 10.
- Forgetting that jewelers deduct making charges and wastage when buying back old gold.
- Not checking the current daily rate — gold prices change frequently [citation:7].
Who can use the calculator
- Gold buyers: Verify the price before purchasing.
- Gold sellers: Know the fair value of old jewelry before selling.
- Investors: Track the value of gold holdings.
- Brides and families: Estimate the value of dowry gold.
