10 Gram Gold Price in Multan — the local picture
Multan is the gold market for the whole of southern Punjab, and buyers travel in from several surrounding districts rather than buying locally. The trade concentrates around Hussain Agahi and the adjoining sarafa bazaar.

Comparing a 10 gram quote against a tola quote
This trips people up constantly, and it is worth getting right before you compare two shops or two websites. Pakistan quotes retail in tola. India quotes in 10 grams. The metal is identical and the global price is identical — only the unit differs.
| From | To | Multiply by |
|---|---|---|
| 10 grams | 1 tola | 1.16638 |
| 1 tola | 10 grams | 0.85735 |
| 10 grams | 1 gram | 0.1 |
| 10 grams | 1 troy ounce | 3.11035 |
| 10 grams | 1 pavan (India, 8 g) | 0.8 |
Right now in Multan: Rs 363,837 per 10 grams against Rs 424,372 per tola. The tola number looks 16.6% higher, and that entire gap is the 1.6638 extra grams — nothing else.
If a shop quotes you a tola price and a website shows a 10 gram price, you are not looking at two different markets. Convert first, then compare. Comparing them raw is how people convince themselves a fair quote is a rip-off, or the reverse.

Why buy in grams rather than tola?
For most people in Pakistan the tola is the natural unit — it is what shops quote and what families think in. Grams are worth using in three situations:
- Small purchases. A one or two gram coin is an accessible entry point; a tola is not. Gram pricing makes the step size visible.
- Comparing against international or Indian prices. The rest of the world works in grams and ounces. Converting to grams removes the unit as a variable.
- Checking a jeweller's arithmetic. Making charges are usually quoted per gram. If you know the gram rate and the piece's weight, the metal component is one multiplication and everything above it is negotiable.
What is not in this price
Everything above is the bullion rate — the metal itself. A finished ornament adds:
- Making charges, quoted per gram or as a percentage of metal value, typically 8–25%.
- Wastage, an extra percentage on the weight to cover metal lost in manufacture.
- Tax, applied to the total.
Ask for those three as separate numbers alongside the gram rate. Four figures make two shops comparable; one all-in price makes them impossible to compare.
