Zakat calculator: gold and money
Two calculators: zakat on gold by weight and karat, and zakat on all your wealth (cash, bank, gold, shares, trade goods, money owed to you, minus debts due). Enter today’s gold price in your currency; nothing you type leaves your device.
Use today’s price from a jeweller or a news site in your country, in your currency. Only needed for the silver nisab. All amounts in the same currency as the price you entered.
Zakat on gold
Enter the weight of your gold in grams for each karat. Gold kept as savings (bars, coins, gold bought as an investment) always counts.
| Savings: bars, coins, investment | Jewellery worn regularly | |
|---|---|---|
| 24 karat | ||
| 22 karat | ||
| 21 karat | ||
| 18 karat |
Zakat on money and wealth
Add what you own today, in one currency. Leave empty what does not apply.
How the calculation works
- Zakat is due when your wealth has stayed at or above the nisab for one full lunar (Hijri) year.
- The rate is 2.5% (one fortieth) of the zakatable wealth.
- Pure gold = weight × karat ÷ 24 (21-karat gold is 87.5% pure).
- The silver nisab is lower, so it makes zakat due on smaller amounts; many scholars recommend it for cash because it benefits the poor more.
- Personal items (your home, car, furniture, clothes) are not zakatable.
