The Sahiwal gold market
Sahiwal's gold trade serves its own district rather than a wider region, and its demand follows the agricultural calendar closely. The market is small but well established, sitting on the main Lahore–Multan corridor which keeps supply reliable.
Where Sahiwal sits against the rest of Pakistan
Of the 47 Pakistan markets we price, Sahiwal is currently the 18th cheapest . It sits Rs 120 per tola above Karachi, the national floor. Bannu, the dearest market, is a further Rs 90 above here.
That gap is not a markup anyone chose. The metal costs the same everywhere on earth at any given second — what differs is the cost of getting a physical bar onto a counter in Sahiwal: freight from the point of import, insurance in transit, security and storage, and how many dealers compete locally. The live national ranking shows every market side by side.
Selling gold in Sahiwal: what you actually receive
Two deductions sit between the rate on this page and the money in your hand. The dealer buys at the bidding price rather than the asking price — currently Rs 469,289 against Rs 470,228 per tola — and on finished jewellery the traditional ratti masha kat takes a minimum of 12.5% off the weight before any rate is applied at all.
On a five tola set in Sahiwal today, the kat alone is Rs 293,599. Add the spread and you receive roughly Rs 2,053,140 against a headline value of Rs 2,348,793. How the deduction is calculated, and how to negotiate it, is worth reading before you sell anything.
Buying gold in Sahiwal
Because the market is compact, relationships matter more here than in a large bazaar — repeat customers get better making charges than walk-ins do. If this is a first substantial purchase, it is worth asking what the shop's buy-back terms are before you commit, since you will likely sell back to the same trade.
Whatever else you do, get four figures separately before agreeing anything: the metal rate for the exact karat you are buying, the making charge, the wastage percentage, and the tax. With those four, two shops become directly comparable. With a single all-in price, they cannot be — and a shop unwilling to break it down has told you something about the price.
One more local reference point: at current Sahiwal rates a gram of 24K gold costs about 66× a gram of 999 silver.
Before you buy or sell in Sahiwal
These cost people more money than the rate itself does, and each is worth two minutes:
- Never agree a weight without checking the unit. A tola is 11.6638 grams, not 12 — the difference is about 2.9% on every single quote.
- Know what a sale actually pays before you walk in. Ratti masha kat takes a minimum 12.5% off the weight of finished jewellery, on top of the bid/ask spread.
- Making charges, not the gold rate, are what differ between shops. How they are calculated, and why a low charge with high wastage can cost more than the reverse.
- Check the karat before you check the price. What the stamps guarantee and which tests actually prove anything — the magnet test only works in one direction.
- Understand where the number comes from. The full chain from dollar spot to the board outside your jeweller, with today's live figures at each step.
