Using our data

You may quote figures from PakTools with a link back to the page you took them from. We ask for the link because rates change and an undated quote becomes wrong quickly.

Bulk or automated access, and corrections to any figure, go to hello@paktools.pk. The arithmetic behind each number is on the methodology page.
