Gold Price Calculator

The Gold Price Calculator shows today's gold rate and works out what a given weight of gold is worth. At the top you get a live rate table for 24, 22, 21 and 18 karat gold per gram, per 10 grams and per tola in Pakistani rupees, UAE dirhams, Saudi riyals, Indian rupees, US dollars and British pounds. Below it, pick a karat, enter a weight in grams, tolas, mashas, rattis or troy ounces, add the jeweller's making charges and, in the UAE, 5% VAT, and the calculator gives you the gold value, the price per gram and per tola for that karat, and the final bill. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is stored.

The live price is the international spot price of gold, which is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of pure gold, converted into your currency with the latest exchange rate and refreshed about once an hour. It is the same benchmark that bullion dealers, banks and jewellers start from, but it is not the price you will pay over the counter. The rate announced each day in Pakistan's sarafa markets, the board rates in Dubai's gold souk and jewellers' rates in India usually sit above the converted spot price because they include import costs, duties, dealer margins and local supply and demand. That premium changes from day to day, so treat our figure as a reference and overwrite the price field with the rate your jeweller quotes — the whole table and calculation then follow your number.

Karat tells you how much of an item is pure gold: 24k is (almost) pure, 22k is 22 parts in 24 or about 91.6% gold — stamped 916 — 21k is 87.5% (875) and 18k is 75% (750). The calculator values each karat as the 24k price × karat ÷ 24, which is how most jewellers derive their lower-karat rates. Weights follow the traditional South Asian system: 1 tola = 11.6638 grams, 1 tola = 12 masha and 1 masha = 8 ratti, so one masha is about 0.972 g and one ratti about 0.1215 g. Pakistani and Indian jewellers often write a weight as, say, "2 tola 3 masha", which you can enter directly with the Tola · Masha · Ratti option.

Worked example (illustrative, using the spot price on 26 October 2026 of about $4,012 per ounce and Rs 276.94 per dollar): pure gold works out to roughly Rs 35,722 per gram or Rs 416,656 per tola, so 22k is about Rs 32,745 per gram or Rs 381,935 per tola. A 22k set weighing 2 tola 3 masha is 26.24 grams, worth about Rs 859,354 in gold. With 8% making charges (Rs 68,748) the bill comes to about Rs 928,102. The same day in Dubai, 22k gold was about AED 434 per gram at spot; a 20 g chain is AED 8,685 of gold, plus 10% making (AED 868) and 5% VAT on both (AED 478), for about AED 10,031. A real jeweller's bill would be higher by whatever premium the shop adds over spot.

Making charges (also called labour or "mazdoori") pay for the craftsmanship and vary widely — simple bangles cost less to make than intricate bridal sets — and some shops quote them as a percentage of the gold value while others charge a fixed amount per gram or tola, so the calculator accepts both. When you sell old jewellery back, shops usually deduct the making charges and often a further amount for wastage or impurity, so you rarely get back the full purchase price. In the UAE, gold jewellery is subject to 5% VAT on the gold value and making charges, while investment-grade bars and coins of 99% purity or more are zero-rated; other countries apply their own sales taxes, which you should check locally.
