Calculate Zakat on Gold by Grams or Tola
Manual gold price · Enter today’s price per gram from your jeweller or a trusted market source; this tool does not fetch live gold rates.
Enter the weight of your gold and the current price per gram to see its value and the Zakat due at 2.5%.
This is an estimate. Check the current gold rate and Nisab value before acting on the number.
Gold, tola and Zakat
In Pakistan gold is usually bought and sold by tola, while rates are often quoted per gram. One tola equals 11.6638 grams, so a 5 tola set weighs about 58.32 grams. If your jeweller quotes a tola rate, divide it by 11.6638 to get the per-gram figure this calculator needs.
Zakat on gold may be due at 2.5% of its zakatable value once the relevant Nisab and full lunar-year conditions are met. This tool values the gold you enter; it cannot assess all your wealth or determine your religious obligation. The nisab for gold is commonly given as 7.5 tola, or 52.5 tola if measured against silver. Many scholars suggest using the silver nisab as it is the lower threshold.
This tool covers gold only. If you also hold cash, bank balances or silver, add their values and use the Zakat Calculator instead. For detailed rulings on jewellery in regular use, please consult a qualified scholar.
How gold rates work in Pakistan
Gold rates in Pakistan are often quoted per tola (11.66 grams), and jewellers quote a rate for a specific karat. This calculator asks you to enter the price per gram manually. When you value your gold for Zakat, use the rate for the karat you own and ignore making charges — you are valuing the metal, not the design. World prices are quoted per ounce (31.1 grams) in US dollars, which is why the local rate moves with both the gold price and the dollar rate.
Karat and purity guide
- 24K = 99.9% pure, used for bars and coins.
- 22K = 91.7%, common in Pakistan for bangles and chains.
- 21K = 87.5%, widely used for bridal sets.
- 18K = 75%, mostly in stone-set and imported jewellery.
Zakat on silver and gold together
Silver Nisab (612.36 grams) is much lower in value than gold Nisab, so if you own both, check your total against the silver Nisab. Many scholars prefer this for mixed holdings because it includes more people.
How to use the Gold Rate & Zakat
- Pick the karat (24K, 22K, 21K) and enter the weight in tola or grams.
