Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the nisab for gold in tola and grams?
The nisab for gold is 7.5 tola, which equals 87.48 grams. This calculator compares your gold weight against that limit and tells you whether zakat is due. If your gold is below 87.48 grams, no zakat is due on the gold.
How does karat purity (24k, 22k, 21k, 18k) change my zakat?
Zakat is paid on the pure gold value, not the total jewelry weight. The calculator multiplies your weight by the karat purity — 24k counts as 100 percent, 22k as 91.6 percent, 21k as 87.5 percent and 18k as 75 percent — so lower-karat gold gives a smaller zakat amount.
Can I change the gold price per tola?
Yes. The price field is prefilled with an approximate recent Pakistan market rate, but gold prices change daily. Always update it with the current rate before calculating, because the zakat amount depends directly on the price you enter.
What gold counts as zakatable in this calculator?
Enter the total weight of gold you own — jewelry you wear, jewelry kept stored, gold coins and gold bars all count. Do not include gold that belongs to someone else or gold you have already given away.
Can I add silver and cash to the calculation?
Yes. Tick the silver or cash options to add them. The tool values silver at the rate you enter and adds your cash savings, then checks the combined total against the gold nisab value (87.48 grams of gold) and applies 2.5 percent to the whole amount.
