Enter the gold and silver you own (in tola) and your cash savings. The calculator uses today’s automatic gold and silver rates.
Nisab for zakat
| Metal | Nisab (tola) | Nisab (grams) |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 7.5 tola | 87.48 g |
| Silver | 52.5 tola | 612.36 g |
If you hold only gold, zakat is due when it reaches 7.5 tola. If you hold a mix of gold, silver and cash, many scholars use the silver nisab (the value of 52.5 tola of silver). Zakat is 2.5% of the total, once a lunar year has passed.
This calculator is a guide. Opinions differ on points like jewellery worn regularly, so please confirm with a scholar you trust.
Is zakat due on gold jewellery that I wear?
Scholars differ. Many in Pakistan (Hanafi view) say zakat is due on all gold and silver jewellery above nisab, whether worn or not. Please ask a scholar you follow.
Which gold rate should I use for zakat?
Use the rate on the day your zakat year completes. Valuing at the karat of your jewellery (for example 21K) is more accurate than using the 24K rate.
