About the Zakat on Gold Calculator
Whether you are comparing options or just need a quick check, the Zakat on Gold Calculator delivers an accurate result instantly, with every input editable so you can model your own scenario.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a fixed obligation: 2.5% of qualifying wealth held above the nisab for a full lunar year. This Zakat on Gold Calculator calculates the zakat due on your savings, gold, silver and business assets so you can fulfil the obligation accurately.
The nisab threshold in Pakistan is commonly set at 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. If your qualifying wealth is above the threshold and has been for a full Hijri year, zakat at 2.5% is due on the whole amount.
Zakatable assets include cash and bank balances, gold and silver, business inventory and trade goods, and investments. Your personal home, car, household furniture and clothing are not zakatable.
Many Pakistanis pay zakat during Ramadan, but it is due whenever your wealth completes a lunar year above nisab. Use this calculator at least yearly — when bank balances and gold prices change, the amount due changes with them.
For the most accurate outcome from the Zakat on Gold Calculator, keep the editable rates and defaults up to date with current figures before reading the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay zakat on jewellery?
Most scholars rule that gold and silver jewellery held as wealth is zakatable at 2.5% per year once it reaches nisab (about 7.5 tola of gold) and a lunar year passes.
What is the nisab for zakat?
The nisab is the threshold above which zakat is due, commonly 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. If your wealth is below nisab, no zakat is due.
Which assets are zakatable?
Cash, bank deposits, gold and silver, business inventory and trade goods, and investments are zakatable. Your residence, car and personal possessions are generally not.
Is zakat 2.5% of everything I own?
Yes — 2.5% of the qualifying wealth held for a full lunar year above nisab, not just the amount above the threshold. That is why accurate calculation matters.
