How is the gold price per tola calculated in Pakistan?
Last reviewed:
Short answer
Take the international gold price in dollars per troy ounce, add the local premium (dealers have cited about $20 per ounce), convert ounces to tolas (1 tola = 11.664 g, 1 ounce = 31.1035 g), and multiply by the dollar-rupee rate. For 22-karat jewellery multiply by about 0.916. In June 2026, world gold at $4,327 gave a published 24-karat rate of Rs 455,136 per tola.
The formula step by step
- Start with the international price (XAU) in US dollars per troy ounce.
- Add the local premium or subtract a discount — it reflects import costs and local supply.
- Divide by 31.1035 to get dollars per gram.
- Multiply by 11.664 to get dollars per tola.
- Multiply by the USD/PKR rate to get rupees per tola for 24 karat.
- Multiply by the purity for lower karats: 22K × 0.916, 21K × 0.875, 18K × 0.75.
Worked example (June 2026)
Small differences come from the exact dollar rate used, rounding and the day's premium.
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| International price | $4,327 per ounce |
| Plus premium (~$20) | $4,347 per ounce |
| Per gram (÷ 31.1035) | ≈ $139.76 |
| Per tola (× 11.664) | ≈ $1,630 |
| Published 24K rate | Rs 455,136 per tola — implying about Rs 279 per dollar |
| 22K equivalent (× 0.916) | ≈ Rs 417,000 per tola |
Other useful conversions
- 10 grams = 0.857 tola; 1 tola = 11.664 grams.
- 1 masha = 1/12 tola ≈ 0.972 g; 1 ratti = 1/8 masha.
- Rate per 10 grams = rate per tola × 0.857.
Why jewellers' prices differ from the headline rate
- Making charges ("banwai") are added on jewellery, often per tola or as a percentage.
- Buy-back rates are lower than selling rates, and jewellers deduct for impurities and stones.
- Gold content of jewellery is often 21 or 22 karat, not 24.
- City associations may publish slightly different rates.
What this means for buyers and zakat
Because the rupee rate depends on both world gold and the exchange rate, a weaker rupee raises local gold prices even when global gold is flat. For zakat, value your gold at the current market price on your zakat date; the gold nisab is 7.5 tola. When selling, ask for a written buy-back rate before you go, and keep purchase receipts showing karat and weight.
Quick calculator: rupees per tola for different world prices
Each row multiplies the dollar price by 11.664 ÷ 31.1035 (= 0.375) and then by the exchange rate. Use it to sanity-check a quoted rate, not as a substitute for the day's published price.
| World price ($/oz, incl. premium) | At Rs 277/$ | At Rs 285/$ |
|---|---|---|
| $3,500 | ≈ Rs 363,500 | ≈ Rs 374,000 |
| $4,000 | ≈ Rs 415,500 | ≈ Rs 427,500 |
| $4,350 | ≈ Rs 451,800 | ≈ Rs 464,900 |
| $4,700 | ≈ Rs 488,200 | ≈ Rs 502,300 |
