Enter your gold weight in grams

2
Choose the karat
Select the purity of your gold. 24K = 99.9% pure. 22K = 91.7%, common in Gulf jewelry. 21K = 87.5%, most popular in Egypt. 18K = 75%, European-style pieces. 14K = 58.3%.

If your gold value meets or exceeds the nisab, Zakat of 2.5% of the total value is due. If below, no Zakat is owed at this time. Remember: Zakat is only obligatory after one full lunar year of ownership (hawl).
