Zakat Calculator

Work out your zakat in minutes: gold and silver by gram or vori, a nisab based on gold (87.48 g) or silver (612.36 g), and 2.5% of your net wealth.

1. Currency & metal prices

Enter today’s price per gram in your currency — it is not fetched automatically. 1 vori (tola) = 11.664 g, so a price per vori ÷ 11.664 gives the price per gram. Prices are saved only on this device.

Where to find today’s gold and silver price

We do not fetch prices from the internet. In Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) publishes the official daily gold and silver price per vori; elsewhere use your national bank, a local jeweller or a bullion price site, then divide a per-vori or per-ounce price into a price per gram.

How zakat is calculated

Nisab

The minimum wealth at which zakat becomes due: 87.48 g of gold (≈ 7.50 vori) or 612.36 g of silver (≈ 52.50 vori). Because silver is much cheaper, its nisab is a much lower amount of money; scholars and institutions differ on which to use for cash and savings.

Hawl — one lunar year

Zakat is due on wealth that has stayed at or above the nisab for a full lunar (Hijri) year. Many people choose a fixed date each year, such as 1 Ramadan.

Which assets count

Cash and bank balances, gold and silver, trade goods at market value, money owed to you that you expect back, and investments held for gain. Your home, car and tools for personal use are generally not counted.

Rate: 2.5%

Zakat is one-fortieth (2.5%) of the net wealth — assets minus debts that are due. Different rules apply to agricultural produce and livestock.

التوبةAt-Tawbah 9:60 Read in context

۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَـٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۖ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ٦٠

Zakāh expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allāh and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allāh. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

সদাক্বাহ হল ফকীর, মিসকীন ও তৎসংশ্লিষ্ট কর্মচারী ও যাদের মন জয় করা উদ্দেশ্য তাদের জন্য, দাসমুক্তি ও ঋণগ্রস্তদের জন্য, আল্লাহর পথে (ব্যয়ের জন্য) আর মুসাফিরের জন্য। এটা আল্লাহ কর্তৃক নির্ধারিত ফরয। আর আল্লাহ হলেন সর্বজ্ঞ, মহাবিজ্ঞানী।

البقرةAl-Baqarah 2:267 Read in context

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّآ أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا۟ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِـَٔاخِذِيهِ إِلَّآ أَن تُغْمِضُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ ٢٦٧

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooanfiqoo min tayyibati ma kasabtum wamimmaakhrajna lakum mina al-ardi wala tayammamooalkhabeetha minhu tunfiqoona walastum bi-akhitheehiilla an tughmidoo feehi waAAlamoo anna Allahaghaniyyun hameed

O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

হে মু’মিনগণ! তোমাদের উপার্জিত উত্তম সম্পদ থেকে এবং তোমাদের জন্য ভূমি থেকে যা উৎপন্ন করেছি তাত্থেকে ব্যয় কর এবং নিকৃষ্ট বস্তু ব্যয় করার নিয়ত করো না, বস্তুতঃ তোমরা তা গ্রহণ কর না, যদি না তোমাদের চক্ষু বন্ধ করে থাক। আর জেনে রেখ, আল্লাহ অমুখাপেক্ষী, প্রশংসিত।

A note on scholarly differences

This tool performs arithmetic on the numbers you enter; it does not issue rulings. Scholars and schools differ on the nisab benchmark, jewellery, long-term debts, pensions, shares and more. For your specific case, consult a trusted local scholar or a zakat institution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the nisab for zakat?

By the classical weights, the gold nisab is 87.48 g (about 7.50 vori) and the silver nisab is 612.36 g (about 52.50 vori). Scholars differ on whether to use gold or silver as the benchmark for money; this calculator lets you choose either.

What is the zakat rate?

2.5% (one-fortieth) of net zakatable wealth, once it reaches the nisab and a lunar year (hawl) has passed over it.

How many grams is one vori of gold?

1 vori (tola) = 11.664 g.

How are debts treated?

Debts that are due now are generally deducted from your assets before comparing with the nisab. How long-term loans (for example a mortgage) are treated is a point of scholarly difference — ask a trusted scholar.

Is zakat due on gold jewellery?

Scholars hold different views on jewellery that is regularly worn. The calculator adds the weight of gold you enter; ask your local scholar what applies to you.
