How to Use the Zakat Calculator
- Enter the weight of your gold in grams — everything you have owned for a full lunar year: jewellery, coins and bars. To convert: tola × 11.66, mithqal × 4.25, troy oz × 31.1.
- Choose the karat.
- Choose the currency.
- If your gold is worth at least the nisab (the value of 85 g of 24K), zakat is 2.5% of the total value.
Remember: zakat is only due once your gold has stayed at or above the nisab for a full lunar year (hawl).
Gold Zakat — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nisab for zakat on gold?
The nisab is 85 grams of pure (24K) gold — roughly 7.29 tola or 2.73 troy ounces. If the gold you have owned for a full lunar year is worth at least as much as 85g of pure gold, zakat is due. Because gold prices move daily, the cash value of the nisab changes too — the calculator above always shows today's figure.
How much zakat do I pay on gold?
Zakat on gold is 2.5% of its current market value, paid once per lunar year (hawl) if your holdings are at or above the nisab. For example, if your gold is worth $10,000 today, the zakat due is $250.
How do I calculate zakat on gold in tola?
One tola equals 11.66 grams, so the 85-gram nisab is about 7.29 tola. Multiply your tolas by 11.66 to get grams, enter that in the calculator, and it works out the value and the 2.5% zakat in your currency.
How is zakat calculated on 21K, 18K or other karats?
Lower karats contain less pure gold, so their per-gram value is lower: 22K is 91.7% pure, 21K is 87.5%, 18K is 75%. The calculator applies today's price for the karat you select, so 100g of 21K is valued — and zakated — at 87.5% of the pure-gold price. The nisab itself is always measured against pure (24K) gold.
When is zakat due on gold?
Zakat becomes due after your gold has stayed at or above the nisab for one full lunar (hijri) year — the hawl. Many people pay in Ramadan for the extra reward, but any date is valid as long as a full hawl has passed.
What is the hawl in gold zakat?
The hawl is one complete hijri (lunar) year — about 354 days — counted from the day your gold first reaches the nisab. When the year completes and your gold is still at or above the nisab, zakat falls due. If your holdings drop below the nisab during the year, the hawl is interrupted and restarts once you reach the nisab again, according to the majority of scholars. Many people fix a hijri date — often in Ramadan — and pay their zakat on it every year.
What is the nisab for silver, and how much is it today?
The silver nisab is 595 grams of pure silver (five awāq in the Sunnah). If silver you have owned for a full lunar year is worth at least as much as 595g of pure silver, zakat of 2.5% is due on it. Because silver is far cheaper than gold, the silver nisab is much lower in cash value than the 85g gold nisab — today's live figure in each currency is shown in the silver-nisab table above.
