Gold Rate Today vs Yesterday, Last Week and Last Year

Today’s live spot converts to Rs 432,197 per 24K tola, which is −Rs 737 (-0.17%) against yesterday’s close. Today is the live spot. Older rows are COMEX futures closes. Every rupee figure uses today’s exchange rate, so the column is the gold move in dollars, not that day’s bazaar rate.

What 22K Actually Means

Karat measures purity in twenty-fourths: 22K is 22 parts gold to 2 parts alloy, or 91.67% pure. The alloy — usually copper and silver — is what gives 22K its strength. Pure gold is soft enough to scratch and bend in daily wear, which is why bangles, chains and bridal sets across Pakistan are made in 22K rather than 24K.

The rate follows directly from purity: the 22K price is the 24K rate multiplied by 0.9167. Every 22K figure on this page is computed exactly that way from the live benchmark, so the discount to 24K you see is the honest arithmetic, not a dealer spread.

What You Actually Pay for 22K Jewellery

The 22K rate prices the gold content only. A finished piece adds making charges (the labour, which scales with intricacy), often a wastage or “kat” allowance, and the shop’s margin. On an ornate bridal set those additions are substantial; on a plain bangle they are modest.

That is why the practical advice is always the same: get the quote split into gold content and everything else. The content is non-negotiable arithmetic off the rate on this page. The rest is where shops differ — and where you negotiate.

Reading a 22K jewellery quote

  • Gold content = weight × today’s 22K per-gram rate — check it against this page
  • Making charges vary with intricacy and shop — the negotiable part
  • Wastage ("kat") should be explicit, not buried in the total
  • Hallmarked 22K resells much closer to the rate than unmarked pieces
  • Buyback terms differ by jeweller — ask before you buy, not when you sell

Is 22K Right for You?

For jewellery that is worn, 22K is the sensible standard: durable enough for daily use while keeping over nine-tenths of the value in gold. For pure investment, 24K bars and biscuits carry lower making charges and resell closer to spot — the comparison table above shows exactly what the purity difference is worth at today’s rate.

Families splitting the difference often hold both: 22K in ornaments that serve weddings and occasions, 24K in biscuits that serve the balance sheet.

Gold Price Chart & History

How gold has moved in US dollars per troy ounce — the benchmark every rate on this page is derived from. Switch between one month and five years.

Over the last 30 trading sessions gold closed as high as $4,697.80 and as low as $4,168.40 per troy ounce, a move of -5.27% through the Tue, Sep 29, 2026 close. These rows are the COMEX front-month future, not the live spot at the top of the page. The rupee column converts each futures close at today’s USD/PKR rate, so it is not the rupee rate from that calendar day.

Data Sources & Methodology

Prices on this page start from the live international gold spot price (XAU/USD) and major currency crosses. The per-gram and per-tola values, and the PKR, SAR, INR and other currency views, are all derived from that same benchmark at the current exchange rate.

The premium section and calculator show illustrative scenarios, not observed dealer or association rates. Their displayed percentages are assumptions added to converted spot; they are not measured local premiums. Actual quotes can include different spreads and charges.

City pages also describe local buying context — the main bullion and jewellery markets, typical making-charge and seasonal margin patterns, and how a city’s rate relates to the national benchmark. Those descriptions are TECHi editorial observations of the local market, not sourced quotes from a named dealer or association and not a live local price feed.

We deliberately avoid republishing unverified dealer rates circulated on messaging apps or scraped from other sites, because those numbers are often stale, inconsistent, or region-specific. The spot-plus-adjustable-premium model illustrates how a chosen assumption changes the total; it does not establish the local transaction price.

Historical prices are daily gold benchmark closes in US dollars and are not inflation-adjusted. For long-term purchasing-power comparisons, pair them with official CPI data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics or the World Gold Council.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 22K gold rate in Pakistan today?
The live 22K rate — per tola, per 10 grams and per gram in rupees — is shown at the top of this page. It is computed as the 24K benchmark multiplied by 0.9167, an indicative metal-content calculation rather than a dealer quote.
How is the 22K rate calculated from the 24K rate?
22K is 22 parts gold in 24, so its rate is the 24K rate × 0.9167. If you know today’s 24K per-gram price, multiplying by 0.9167 gives the 22K per-gram price; multiply that by 11.664 for a tola.
Why is my jeweller’s 22K quote higher than the rate here?
This page estimates gold content from international spot. A finished piece can include a local premium, buy/sell spread, making charges and wastage allowance. Ask for each component separately; a local quote need not match the estimate.
Is 22K gold a good investment?
It holds value well — over 91% of it is gold — but as an investment it is less efficient than 24K: you pay making charges on purchase and lose them at resale. 22K makes most sense when the piece also serves as jewellery; for pure investment, bars and biscuits in 24K resell closer to spot.
What is the difference between 22K and 21K?
21K is 87.5% pure versus 91.67% for 22K, so it is slightly harder-wearing and slightly cheaper per gram. Gulf-style sets are often 21K, while most Pakistani bridal jewellery stays 22K. The live rates for both are in the purity table on this page.
How do I confirm a piece is really 22K?
Look for a hallmark, get the karat written on the receipt, and for larger purchases ask the dealer to test it in front of you — established Sarafa shops can. Unmarked pieces trade at a discount at resale precisely because purity is uncertain.
