Understanding Gold Units and Calculation in Pakistan
In Pakistan, gold is primarily traded using traditional measurement units like Tola, Masha, and Rati. While the international market uses ounces and grams, local jewelers and the Sarafa Bazaar rely on these metrics for daily transactions.
Gold Measurement Conversion Table
- 1 Tola = 11.66 Grams
- 1 Tola = 12 Mashas
- 1 Masha = 8 Ratis
- 1 Tola = 96 Ratis
How to Use the Calculator
- Current 24K Rate: Check the latest market rate from the Sarafa Bazaar (e.g., Karachi or Lahore rates) and enter it here.
- Karat Selection: Select the purity of your gold. 24K is 99.9% pure, while 22K is commonly used for jewelry (contains 91.6% gold).
- Weight: You can enter the weight in Tolas, Mashas, and Ratis individually, OR simply enter the Grams if you weighed it on a modern scale.
- Making Charges: These are the labor costs added by the jeweler for crafting the piece.
Example Calculation
If the current 24K gold rate is PKR 220,000 per Tola and you want to buy a necklace weighing 1 Tola and 2 Mashas made of 22K gold:
- Total weight in Tolas = 1 + (2/12) = 1.166 Tolas.
- Rate for 22K = (220,000 / 24) * 22 = 201,666 PKR per Tola.
- Gold Value = 1.166 * 201,666 = 235,142 PKR.
- Add making charges and taxes to get your final price.
Difference Between 24K, 22K, and 18K
24 Karat: This is pure gold. It is soft and usually used for gold bars or coins. It is not ideal for intricate jewelry because it bends easily.
22 Karat: This consists of 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals (like copper or zinc). This is the standard for bridal jewelry in Pakistan because of its durability and rich color.
18 Karat: This is 75% gold. It is often used for diamond-studded jewelry to provide more strength to hold the stones securely.
