Gold as an Investment in Pakistan
Gold has been one of the most reliable wealth preservation assets for Pakistanis. Over the last 25 years (2001–2026), gold prices in PKR per tola have risen from approximately Rs 5,050 to over Rs 5,00,000 — a staggering 100× return. This dramatic increase is driven by two factors: the global appreciation of gold prices in USD and the significant depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee.
For Pakistani investors, gold serves as a dual hedge — protecting against both local inflation (which has averaged 10-12% annually over two decades) and currency depreciation (PKR lost 77% of its value against USD since 2001).
How Gold Prices Are Determined in Pakistan
Pakistan's gold prices are linked to international markets. The local rate is calculated from the international gold price (in USD per troy ounce), converted to PKR using the interbank exchange rate, then adjusted per tola (1 tola = 11.664 grams). The Pakistan Sarafa Association announces daily rates based on these calculations, with premiums varying by city.

Zakat on Gold
If you own gold above the Nisab threshold (7.5 tola / 87.48 grams), you may be required to pay Zakat at 2.5% of its value. Use our Zakat Calculator to determine your obligation based on current gold rates.
Frequently asked questions
What is the gold rate in Pakistan today?
Today's live 24-karat gold price — per tola, per gram and per ounce — is shown at the top of this page and refreshes every 30 minutes. Local sarafa (bullion) markets set final retail prices, which can carry a city premium, so verify with your jeweller before buying or selling.
How is the per-tola gold price calculated?
Pakistan's gold rate is derived from the international price in US dollars per troy ounce, converted to rupees at the interbank exchange rate and scaled to the tola (11.664 grams). The Pakistan Sarafa Association announces daily rates on this basis, with premiums varying by city.
Is gold a good investment in Pakistan?
Over 2001–2026, gold rose from roughly Rs 5,050 to over Rs 500,000 per tola — about 100 times — because global gold prices appreciated while the rupee lost about 77% of its value against the dollar. It is a strong inflation-and-devaluation hedge, but it pays no income and can stagnate for years.
Do I have to pay Zakat on my gold?
If your holdings meet the nisab — 7.5 tola (87.48 grams) of gold — and you have held the wealth for a lunar year, Zakat of 2.5% of the current market value is due. Our Zakat calculator applies live gold rates and lets you use the lower silver-based nisab as well.
Why do gold prices differ between cities?
The base rate is national — the international price times the exchange rate — but each city's sarafa market adds its own premium reflecting local demand and dealer margins, and jewellers add making charges on ornaments. Differences are usually small; a large gap versus the announced rate is a red flag.
