We could not read the rate at its source. The sarafa market that sets the daily rate publishes no official page we could find, so every rate below is the figure as reported on 22 October. Another set of price pages shows lower numbers, about Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,700 under this one, so confirm with your jeweller before you buy or sell.

The gold rate in Pakistan is Rs 431,536 a tola on 22 October

Gold is Rs 431,536 per tola and Rs 369,972 per 10 grams for 24 karat, as reported for 22 October 2026. Silver is Rs 6,086 a tola. International gold was reported at $4,090 an ounce, $30 lower. All four fell.

The rates tie together. A tola is 11.664 grams, and Rs 431,536 divided by 11.664 and multiplied by 10 gives Rs 369,972, which matches the per 10 gram figure. That check is our arithmetic.

Gold is Rs 10,500 below its 10 October high, a fall of 2.4 per cent

The rate peaked at Rs 442,036 on 10 October. At Rs 431,536 it is now Rs 10,500 lower, a fall of 2.38 per cent. No close this month has been lower. The previous low was Rs 434,436 on 7 October.

Our last gold report was for 12 October, when the rate was Rs 439,936. Since then it has risen to Rs 440,836 on 13 October, dipped, recovered to Rs 440,636 on 16 October. Since then it has fallen on every session except 19 October, which was flat. The path is in the table below. The 12 October rate comes from our gold rate report for that day, and the earlier peak is in the 10 October report.

There were no separate rates reported for 18 October, a Sunday. The rates from 13 October onward are as reported; we did not read the market's own sheets.

The ounce price fell with the tola

International gold fell $30 to $4,090 an ounce on 22 October, and the tola rate fell with it. Pakistan's gold follows the world price and the dollar rate. The interbank dollar rate was Rs 276.85 on 22 October, almost unchanged from the day before.

Dividing the tola rate by the ounce price shows what the local market is charging. A tola is 0.375 of an ounce, or $1,533.75 at $4,090. Rs 431,536 over $1,533.75 is an implied rate of about Rs 281.36 a dollar, about 1.6 per cent over the interbank rate. That gap covers local premiums and costs. The dollar rate is in our dollar report for 22 October.

22 karat and 21 karat gold work out lower by purity

Pure gold is 24 karat. A 22 karat piece is 22 parts in 24, so a tola of it is worth about Rs 395,575 at today's rate. A 21 karat tola is about Rs 377,594. These are our calculations from the 24 karat rate, not quoted prices.

A jeweller adds making charges and sometimes a margin on top of the metal value. So the price on a ring or a set is higher than the numbers here. The way to work out a jewellery price is in the guide to jewellery price by tola, karat and making charges. Tax on a purchase is in the gold buying tax guide.

1. Ask the jeweller for the day's 24 karat rate and the karat of your piece.
2. Multiply the 24 karat rate by the karat divided by 24.
3. Weigh the piece and convert grams to tola by dividing by 11.664.
4. Add the making charge and any tax shown on the bill.
5. Keep the receipt with the weight and karat written on it.

What the fall means if you are buying, selling or paying zakat

A lower rate helps a buyer and hurts a seller on the day, but one day's move says nothing about tomorrow. If you hold gold for zakat, the value on your zakat date matters, not the peak. The nisab calculation is in the guide to zakat on gold and silver.

For silver, the tola rate of Rs 6,086 is Rs 446 below the Rs 6,532 reported on 12 October. The purity steps are in the guide to silver value by tola and purity. A 5 tola purchase at today's gold rate is Rs 2,157,680, before making charges and tax.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

Last checked late on 22 October 2026. The 24 karat gold, silver and international gold figures are the sarafa market's daily rates as reported on 22 October, and the daily closes from 13 to 21 October are as reported in the same account. We could not read them at source, because we found no official page for them. Earlier figures are from our own reports. The dollar rate is the State Bank of Pakistan's revaluation rate from sbp.org.pk. Karat values, the implied rate, the 2.38 per cent fall and the 5 tola sum are our arithmetic. Other price pages showed lower rates, and we did not read them at source.
