💡 How the 20K rate is set in Pakistan
There is no separate 20K market in Pakistan. The sarafa market trades pure 24K gold (Rawa and TT-Bar), and every lower karat is priced from that benchmark: 20K = 24K rate × 20 ÷ 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.
20K (833) sits between the common 21K jewellery standard and 18K. It is less common on shop boards, so its price is almost always worked out from the 24K benchmark exactly as this page does: 20/24 of the pure-gold rate.
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.
❓ 20K Gold — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 20K gold rate in Pakistan today?
As of 23 Aug 2026, 20K gold is approximately Rs 397,792 per tola (Rs 34,104 per gram), computed as 20/24 of the live 24K sarafa Rawa benchmark of Rs 477,350 per tola. The figure updates with the live market.
How is the 20K rate calculated from the 24K rate?
Karat measures purity out of 24. 20K gold contains 20 parts gold in 24 (83.3% — fineness 833), so its metal value is the 24K rate × 20 ÷ 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 20K 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 20K gold good for investment?
For investment, prefer 24K bars (TT-Bar / Rawa) — no making charges and easy resale. 20K jewellery is bought for wear and design; on resale, shops pay only for the actual gold content at the buy rate, minus deductions.
How many grams are in a tola of 20K gold?
One tola is 11.664 grams for every karat — the karat changes the purity, not the weight. So a tola of 20K contains about 9.72 g of pure gold (83.3% of 11.664 g).
