Daily gold price in PKR — January 2019
The Pakistan gold market
Pakistan's retail gold trade is dominated by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gemmi & Jewellery Association (APSGJA). The standard quoted unit is the tola (11.664 g) and 24-karat purity. Local prices typically sit a few percent above international spot due to import duties, sales tax (currently 17%), and dealer making charges (3–8%). The State Bank of Pakistan periodically auctions gold reserves which can cause short-term price action divergent from international spot.

How Pakistan gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The PKR/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2019 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every PKR figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × PKR/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all January 2019 prices on this page.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Pakistan, add the country-specific levies described in the “Pakistangold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
PKR prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for January 2019 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2019-end PKR/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.
Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?
The Rs figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to PKR at the 2019-end exchange rate. Pakistan's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
