Today's gold rate in Islamabad, Pakistan
As of 1 min ago, 24-karat gold is around Rs 429,288 per tola (Rs 368,052 per 10 grams) in Islamabad, Pakistan. Popular jewellery karats are 22K at about Rs 393,514 per tola and 21K at Rs 375,627.
How this rate is calculated
Our figure is derived from the live international gold spot price ($4,137 per troy ounce) converted at the current interbank US Dollar rate (1 USD ≈ Rs 276.74), using 11.664 grams per tola and standard karat purity. This is an accurate market reference; the exact price at your local sarafa market can differ slightly due to local premiums, making charges and duties.
Pakistan's gold rates are largely uniform nationwide, so the Islamabad rate matches the national rate, with only minor local variation between jewellers.
What moves the gold price
Two things drive the rupee gold price: the international spot price (set by global supply, demand, interest rates and the US dollar) and the PKR–USD exchange rate. When the rupee weakens or global gold rises, local gold gets more expensive — which is why the rate can change several times a day.
Gold karats explained (24K, 22K, 21K, 18K)
“Karat” measures purity out of 24. 24K is 99.9% pure gold — the softest and most valuable, used for coins, bars and investment. 22K (91.6% pure) is the most popular for Pakistani jewellery, balancing richness and durability. 21K (87.5%) is common in the Gulf, and 18K (75%) is harder and often used for studded or diamond-set pieces. The higher the karat, the higher the price per tola.
Weight units used for gold
Gold in Pakistan is sold by the tola, which equals 11.664 grams. One tola is further divided into 12 masha, and one masha into 8 ratti (so 1 tola = 96 ratti). Internationally, gold is priced per troy ounce (31.1035 grams). Use the calculator above to convert any weight and karat into today's rupee value.
Should you buy gold now?
Gold is widely used in Pakistan as a store of value and for weddings. Prices tend to rise when the rupee weakens or global uncertainty grows. This page gives the honest market reference rate; for an actual purchase, always confirm the day's rate and making charges (mazdoori) with your local sarafa jeweller, and check the hallmark for purity.
