What is the Gold Calculator?
In Pakistan gold is priced per tola (11.664 g) for 24-karat gold. Jewellery is usually 22K or 21K, so its value is lower. The gold calculator converts weight, adjusts for purity and adds making charges.
Enter today's 24K rate per tola, the weight and purity. To convert weight units alone use the Gold Weight Converter or Tola to Grams; to calculate zakat on gold use the Zakat Calculator.
How to use the Gold Calculator
- Enter today's 24K rate per tola.
- Enter the weight and its unit.
- Choose the purity: 24K, 22K, 21K or 18K.

Formula
Value = weight in tola × 24K rate × (karat ÷ 24) + making charges
Example
2.5 tola of 22K gold at a 24K rate of Rs 400,000 per tola: 2.5 × 400,000 × 22/24 = Rs 916,667, before making charges.
