Gold and silver prices in Pakistan move daily, sometimes more than once a day, based on international bullion markets and the dollar-rupee exchange rate. Here’s where today’s gold and silver rate stands, based on the latest rate set by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association.
Gold Rate Today
| Gold Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| 24K gold, per tola | Rs. 440,636 |
| 24K gold, per 10 grams | Rs. 377,774 |
| 24K gold, per gram | Rs. 37,777 |
| 22K gold, per tola (approx.) | Rs. 403,916 |
| 21K gold, per tola (approx.) | Rs. 385,557 |
| International gold, per ounce | $4,181 |
This is the official rate set by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, up Rs. 2,000 per tola from the previous rate. The 22K and 21K figures are calculated proportionally from the 24K rate (22 and 21 parts out of 24), since jewellers typically price lower-karat gold this way.
Silver Rate Today
| Silver Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Silver, per tola | Rs. 6,578 |
Silver is up Rs. 50 per tola from its previous rate.
Why Rates Shown Elsewhere Might Look Different
If you check a different website or app and see a slightly different number, that’s normal. A few things cause this:
- Timing: Some sites show the official Sarafa Association rate set for the day, while others show a live, continuously updating rate tracking the international market in real time.
- Local market variation: Individual jewellers and city sarafa markets can price slightly above or below the national association rate.
- Gold type: “Rawa” (loose, local-market gold) and branded gold bars, such as those from major local refiners, are sometimes priced a little differently from each other.
For the most accurate price before buying or selling, check with your local jeweller or sarafa market on the day, since the number can shift during trading hours.
What Moves Gold and Silver Prices in Pakistan?
- International gold price: Pakistan’s local rate closely tracks the global gold price, quoted in US dollars per ounce.
- USD to PKR exchange rate: since gold is priced internationally in dollars, a weaker rupee generally pushes the local price up, even if the international dollar price stays flat.
- Local demand: seasonal buying, such as during wedding season or Eid, can affect local jeweller margins.
- Global economic factors: interest rate decisions, inflation data, and global uncertainty all influence gold as a safe-haven asset.
Gold Price Trend This Month
Gold has eased noticeably from its recent highs. The rate stood at Rs. 466,136 per tola at the start of September, meaning the current rate is roughly Rs. 25,500 per tola lower, a meaningful pullback after a strong earlier run-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
24K gold is Rs. 440,636 per tola and Rs. 377,774 per 10 grams, per the latest All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association rate.
What is the silver rate in Pakistan today?

Does the gold rate differ between cities in Pakistan?
Generally no. Unlike some countries, Pakistan’s Sarafa Association sets one national gold rate, though individual jewellers may apply small local variations.
Why do gold rates change so often?
Gold is priced internationally in US dollars, so it reacts to global market movements and to changes in the dollar-to-rupee exchange rate, sometimes shifting more than once in a single day.
Is today’s rate the best time to buy gold?
That depends on your own needs and the market trend. Gold has fallen meaningfully from its early-September level, but prices can move in either direction, so this isn’t financial advice, just the current snapshot.
Gold and silver rates in Pakistan can shift during the day, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a locked-in price. Confirm with your local jeweller or sarafa market before making a purchase or sale.
