Gold rate in Pakistan today in pounds

On 9 August 2026, one tola of 24K gold in Pakistan costs Rs 459,400, which is about £1,215 at the open-market rate of Rs 377.96 per GBP. One tola of 22K costs Rs 421,100 (£1,114), and one gram of 24K costs Rs 39,387 (£104.21).

Most people checking this page from the UK are not buying gold in Britain. They are working out what a tola costs their family in Lahore or Gujrat this week, or what a wedding set will cost by the time they fly out in the spring.

So the pound figures below are the Karachi Sarafa board rate converted at the open-market rupee rate, not a British retail price. British jewellers price in grams, add VAT on jewellery and add a workshop margin, so the UK shop price for a 22K piece will always sit well above the converted board figure.

The GBP figure is a conversion of the Pakistani board rate, not a separate British market rate. It moves when either gold moves or the rupee moves — and in most recent years the rupee has moved more.

We show the open-market rupee rate because that is what a remittance recipient is credited at. The State Bank interbank rate is quoted separately for reference.
