How it works

How Zakat on gold is calculated

Zakat on gold = weight × purity × today's 24K rate × 2.5%

The calculator converts your gold to its pure (24K) equivalent, values it at the rate you enter, and checks it against the gold Nisab of 7.5 tola. If you also add cash or savings, they are included in the total.

Example: 5 tola of 22K jewellery

5 tola × 22/24 = 4.58 tola of pure gold. At Rs 440,636 per tola that is worth Rs 2,019,582. This is below the gold Nisab on its own, but if the owner also has savings — or follows the silver Nisab for mixed assets — Zakat is due: 2.5% of the gold's value is Rs 50,490.

1 tola in grams

One tola is 11.664 grams, so 7.5 tola = 87.48 g and 52.5 tola = 612.36 g. Jewellers in Pakistan also quote in masha and ratti: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti.

FAQ

Gold Zakat questions

What is the Nisab of gold in Pakistan?
Gold Nisab is 7.5 tola (87.48 grams) of gold. At the 24K Sarafa rate of 3 October 2026 (Rs 440,636 per tola) that is about Rs 3,304,770. Multiply 7.5 by today's rate per tola for the current figure.
How much Zakat is due on 1 tola of gold?
If Zakat is due on your wealth, it is 2.5% of the gold's value. For 1 tola of 24K gold at Rs 440,636 that is about Rs 11,016. For 22K, multiply by 22/24 first. On its own, 1 tola is below Nisab — Zakat is due only if your total wealth reaches Nisab.
Is Zakat due on gold jewellery that I wear?
In the Hanafi school, followed by most people in Pakistan, yes — gold jewellery is Zakatable whether worn or stored. The Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools generally exempt jewellery for normal personal use. Follow the opinion of the scholar you rely on.
Should I use the buying or selling rate of gold?
Use the price you could sell your gold for today (the jeweller's buying rate), not the price you paid. Jewellers often deduct for impurities and making charges, so the sale value of jewellery is usually below the headline 24K rate.
I have only a little gold but also savings. Is Zakat due?
When you have gold together with cash or savings, they are added together and checked against the silver Nisab (52.5 tola), which is much lower. That is why the calculator lets you add other assets.
