💡 How the 22K rate is set in Pakistan
There is no separate 22K market in Pakistan. The sarafa market trades pure 24K gold (Rawa and TT-Bar), and every lower karat is priced from that benchmark: 22K = 24K rate × 22 ÷ 24. This page applies that formula to the live Rawalpindi/Islamabad sarafa Rawa rate, so the figures above move with the market in real time.
22K (916) is the most common jewellery purity in Pakistan — strong enough for daily wear, close enough to pure gold to hold resale value. Most bangles, sets and chains sold in Pakistani sarafa bazaars are 22K.
When buying jewellery, remember the shop adds making charges (banwai) — and sometimes wastage — on top of this metal value, and stones are weighed separately. Use the Gold Calculator to value a specific piece at today's rate.
❓ 22K Gold — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 22K gold rate in Pakistan today?
As of 29 Oct 2026, 22K gold is approximately Rs 382,787 per tola (Rs 32,818 per gram), computed as 22/24 of the live 24K sarafa Rawa benchmark of Rs 417,586 per tola. The figure updates with the live market.
How is the 22K rate calculated from the 24K rate?
Karat measures purity out of 24. 22K gold contains 22 parts gold in 24 (91.7% — fineness 916), so its metal value is the 24K rate × 22 ÷ 24. Jewellers in Pakistan price from the 24K sarafa (Rawa) benchmark exactly this way, then add making charges (banwai) on top.
Why does my jeweller's 22K quote differ from this rate?
Shops quote the metal value plus making charges, sometimes wastage, and their own spread — and some price from the announced board rate rather than the live sarafa rate. Use this page's live figure as the fair metal value, and ask the shop to show its rate basis and making charges separately.
Is 22K gold good for investment?
For pure investment, 24K bars (TT-Bar / Rawa) are better — you pay no making charges and resale is simplest. 22K jewellery holds value well but shops deduct making charges and impurity (kat) when buying back.
How many grams are in a tola of 22K gold?
One tola is 11.664 grams for every karat — the karat changes the purity, not the weight. So a tola of 22K contains about 10.69 g of pure gold (91.7% of 11.664 g).
