How to use the Gold Price Calculator
- Enter the weight and choose tola, gram or ounce.
- Choose the purity (24, 22, 21 or 18 karat).

How it's calculated
Show the formula
Value = weight in tola × 24K rate per tola × (karat ÷ 24)
1 tola = 11.6638 g · 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g
1 tola = 11.6638 g · 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g
Local jeweller (sarafa) rates are usually a little higher, and jewellers add making charges on top, so type their rate if you have it.
