How to Work Out the Price
Gold rates in India and Pakistan are usually quoted per tola or per 10 grams. Once you know that 25 g = 2.1434 tola, the price is simply:
Value = 2.1434 tola x (rate per tola) x (karat / 24)
For example, if the 24K rate is 100,000 per tola, then 25 grams of 22K gold would be worth 2.1434 x 100,000 x (22/24), which is about 196,477. Enter your local rate per gram into the converter above to get the same figure without the arithmetic.
