24K Gold Price in Pakistan Today (Per Tola & Gram)
24K Gold Rate in Pakistan Today — Per Tola, Gram & 10 Gram
24K gold, hallmarked 999 / 24K, is 99.9% (999 fineness) pure gold and is most commonly used for investment bars, coins and biscuits. In physical terms it is very soft, bright yellow. Because pure 24K gold is too soft for daily-wear jewellery, it is mainly bought as a store of value rather than worn.
The table below breaks down today’s 24K rate across the three weights Pakistani buyers use most: the traditional tola (11.664 grams), a single gram, and a 10-gram block that is convenient for comparing with Gulf and Indian gold pricing.
| Weight | Price (PKR) |
|---|---|
| 1 Tola (11.664g) | Rs. 426,000 |
| 10 Grams | Rs. 365,230 |
| 1 Gram | Rs. 36,523 |
| 1 Tola (12 Karat, for reference) | Rs. 213,000 |

What Does 999 / 24K Actually Mean?
Gold purity in Pakistan is marked using a three-digit fineness number alongside the karat figure — for 24K gold that is 999 / 24K, meaning 99.9% (999 fineness) of the metal by weight is pure gold, with the remainder made up of alloy metals like copper, silver or zinc that add strength and, in some cases, colour. A licensed jeweller in Pakistan is required to stamp this hallmark on finished pieces, and buyers are within their rights to ask to see it before paying.
The alloy mix also affects durability and price. Because pure 24K gold is very soft, jewellery makers blend in other metals to produce 24K gold, trading a little purity for strength — which is exactly why 24K is favoured for investment bars, coins and biscuits.
24K vs Other Karats — Which Should You Buy?
The right karat depends on whether you are buying gold as an investment or as jewellery you plan to wear daily. Here is how 24K stacks up against the other three karats commonly traded in Pakistan:
| Karat | Per Tola | Per Gram |
|---|---|---|
| 24K (999 / 24K) | Rs. 426,000 | Rs. 36,523 |
| 22K (916 / 22K) | Rs. 390,497 | Rs. 33,479 |
| 21K (875 / 21K) | Rs. 372,750 | Rs. 31,958 |
| 18K (750 / 18K) | Rs. 319,500 | Rs. 27,392 |
- 24K (999): Because pure 24K gold is too soft for daily-wear jewellery, it is mainly bought as a store of value rather than worn.
- 22K (916): 22K (916) is the most widely traded karat in Pakistan's jewellery market and the one most local rate boards quote by default.
- 21K (875): 21K is the standard purity in Saudi Arabia and much of the Gulf, which is why it is popular with Pakistani expatriates.
- 18K (750): 18K's lower gold content makes it more affordable and more durable, which is why it dominates diamond and gemstone jewellery.
Resale Value of 24K Gold in Pakistan
When you sell gold back to a jeweller, the price offered is based on the day’s 24K rate minus a small deduction, since most Sarafa dealers buy back at close to the pure-gold benchmark rather than the retail jewellery price you originally paid — the difference reflects the making charges (ujrat) and any stone weight that was included in the original sale. Keeping your original purchase receipt and hallmark certificate typically gets you a fairer resale quote and a faster transaction.
How the 24K Rate Is Set
Like every karat, the 24K price is derived mathematically from the 24K benchmark rate: 24K price = 24K price × 99.9%, rounded to the nearest rupee by the Sarafa Association. The 24K benchmark itself moves with the international spot gold price (XAU/USD), the USD/PKR exchange rate, and local supply and demand in Pakistan’s bullion markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 24K gold price in Pakistan today per tola?
Today’s 24K gold price per tola in Pakistan is Rs. 426,000, and Rs. 36,523 per gram, based on the latest Sarafa Bazaar rate.
Is 24K gold good for investment?
Yes — 24K (999) gold is the purity most investors prefer because it is the closest to pure gold and carries no jewellery-making premium.
How is 24K gold price calculated from the 24K rate?
The 24K rate is the 24K price multiplied by its purity fraction (99.9% (999 fineness)), then rounded — this is why karat prices always move together, in the same direction, every day.
What is the hallmark for 24K gold?
24K gold is stamped 999 / 24K, and a licensed Pakistani jeweller should be able to show you this mark on any finished piece.
What is 24K gold mainly used for in Pakistan?
24K gold (999/995 fine) is mainly used for investment bars, coins and digital gold products.
Can I exchange 24K gold for a different karat later?
Yes — jewellers routinely accept 24K gold in exchange for other karats or new designs, adjusting the value for the day's rate and any making-charge difference, though an exchange fee or deduction typically applies.
Resale & Buyback Value of 24K Gold
When you resell 24K gold, a jeweller will weigh the item, verify the hallmark, and pay you based on that day's 24K rate minus a small deduction for melting/refining loss and their margin — typically a few percent. Investment-grade 24K bars and coins from recognised dealers usually fetch closer to the full published rate than jewellery does, because jewellery resale value also has to account for the making charges you paid originally, which the buyer does not refund. If you're buying primarily to preserve value rather than to wear, this is the main reason 24K bars/coins are preferred over jewellery.
How to Check 24K Hallmark Authenticity
Genuine 24K gold in Pakistan should carry a visible hallmark stamp — often reading "24K" or the fineness figure (999/995 fine) — along with the maker's or assayer's mark, usually on the clasp or an inconspicuous edge of the piece. Reputable jewellers will also offer to test the item on the spot using an acid or electronic gold tester before you pay. If a shop is reluctant to test or hallmark an item, that's a signal to buy elsewhere. Always keep the original receipt, since it is your primary proof of purity and weight if a dispute arises later.
