⚠️ The gold and silver prices below are rough reference values and may be out of date. Please look up today's market price (USD per gram) and update them before relying on the nisab and zakat result.
Adjust prices to today's market rates. The silver basis gives a lower threshold, so more people qualify — many scholars consider it safer for the poor.
Your wealth is below the nisab — no Zakat is due.
This calculator is a general guide following widely accepted opinions. For complex situations (pensions, property, business shares), consult a qualified scholar. Zakat may only be given to the eight categories of recipients defined in the Quran (9:60).
Frequently asked questions
How much is Zakat?
Zakat is 2.5% of eligible wealth that has been held for one full lunar year and exceeds the nisab threshold. Eligible wealth includes cash, savings, gold, silver, investments and business inventory.
What is the nisab?
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth above which Zakat becomes due. It equals the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Many scholars advise using the silver nisab so that more charity reaches the poor.
Do I pay Zakat on gold jewellery?
Gold and silver jewellery is subject to Zakat according to the Hanafi school; some other scholars exempt jewellery in regular personal use. If you follow the precautionary view, include its market value at 2.5%.
