Nisab uses the classical thresholds of 85 g of gold or 595 g of silver, valued at the live spot price. Most scholars recommend the silver nisab so more wealth qualifies for charity. This is an educational estimate — consult a qualified scholar for rulings specific to your situation.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam — an annual charitable due of 2.5% on qualifying wealth held for a full lunar year. It becomes payable only once your wealth reaches the nisab, the minimum threshold defined as 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver.
This calculator values your gold and silver at the live international spot price, converts it into your chosen currency, adds your cash and savings, and compares the total against the nisab. If you are at or above the threshold, it shows the 2.5% zakat due. Switch the currency from the navbar to calculate in your local money.
Because silver is far cheaper than gold, the silver nisab is a much lower threshold — so using it means more wealth qualifies for zakat and more reaches those in need. Many scholars recommend it for that reason. The gold nisab is also widely used, particularly where someone holds gold but little silver. You can choose either basis above.
Figures here are an educational estimate based on live spot prices and the classical nisab weights. For rulings specific to your circumstances — including questions about jewelry, debts, and business assets — please consult a qualified scholar. See our disclaimer.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must hold before zakat becomes due. It is set at 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver — this calculator values both at the live spot price.
Most contemporary scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower, meaning more people qualify to give and more wealth reaches those in need. You can switch between the two in the calculator.
Zakat is 2.5% of the value of your zakatable wealth (gold, silver, and cash) once it reaches the nisab and has been held for a lunar year (hawl).
Scholars differ. Many hold that zakat is due on the value of gold jewelry; others exempt jewelry in regular use. This tool lets you include it — follow the ruling you follow, and consult a scholar if unsure.
