How it is calculated
Pure gold = weight × karat ÷ 24. Zakat is due if pure gold ≥ 85 g. Value = pure gold × 24K price (or weight × your karat price). Zakat = value × 2.5%.
Example
Inputs: Gold weight = 100 g, Karat = 21K, Price you know = Price of 1 g of 24K, Price per gram = 400, Zakat rate = 2.5 %. Result: Zakat due: 875.00; Pure gold weight: 87.5 g; Gold value: 35,000.00.
Limits and caveats
- Uses the majority nisab of 85 g of pure gold and 2.5%; some scholars estimate the nisab differently.
- Most schools exempt worn jewellery; the Hanafi school does not.
- Stones and making charges are not part of the gold weight.
Questions about this tool
What is the nisab for 21K gold?
About 97.14 g, because 85 × 24 ÷ 21 = 97.14.
Can I pay in gold or in money?
Most scholars allow either; the tool shows the amount in pure gold grams and in money.
Which price do I use?
The market price on the day you pay. You can enter the 24K price or the price for your own karat.
