Gold Zakat Calculator
Estimate gold zakat using the current 24K price, your gold holdings, year type, and the 85g pure gold nisab threshold.
How to use
- Enter the current price of 1g of 24K gold.
- Choose Hijri for a 2.5% rate or Gregorian for a 2.577% rate.
- Add each gold holding with its purity and weight in grams, including 16K if relevant.
- Confirm hawl, ownership, trade intent, and personal-jewelry treatment with the authority you follow before using the estimate.
Example
Input
40g 24K, 60g 21K, 30g 18K, and 24g 16K at 250 per gram after a full Hijri year
Output
Pure gold equivalent is 131g, which is above the 85g gold nisab. Value is 32,750. Hijri zakat at 2.5% is 818.75; Gregorian zakat at 2.577% would be 843.97.
What Gold Zakat Calculator returns
Gold Zakat Calculator is designed to estimate Zakat on gold by purity and weight.
Input: gold weight, carat or purity, 24K gold price, nisab threshold, and year type. Output: pure gold equivalent, arithmetic threshold status, gold value, and an educational Zakat estimate.
How Gold Zakat Calculator works
Each holding is converted to pure gold grams, compared with nisab, valued at the 24K price, and multiplied by the selected rate.
Confirm purity, valuation price, ownership, trade or personal-use intent, and the applicable hawl method with a trusted authority.
A useful situation for Gold Zakat Calculator
Use it when you are reviewing jewelry, coins, bullion, or mixed gold holdings with different purity levels.
The workflow is intended for families, gold owners, small traders, and anyone preparing annual Zakat records.
Limits and common errors
The tool performs purity and rate arithmetic but does not decide personal-jewelry rulings or when hawl begins or resets.
A common mistake is using total jewelry weight as if it were all pure 24K gold.
Privacy and the next step
Gold values are calculated locally and are not uploaded.
For a broader workflow, combine it with the general Zakat calculator when gold is only one part of your assets.
If the result matters later, save weight, purity, price source, year type, and amount paid for future review.
FAQ
What is nisab?
The cited UAE guidance uses 85g of pure gold as the gold nisab. Reaching that arithmetic threshold is only one condition; confirm the applicable hawl and jewelry rulings with the authority you follow.
How does carat affect the result?
The calculator estimates the pure gold equivalent: 24K is treated as 24/24 pure gold, 21K as 21/24, 18K as 18/24, and 16K as 16/24.
Why choose Hijri or Gregorian?
Zakat is classically based on a lunar Hijri year, so the rate is 2.5%. If you calculate using a solar Gregorian year, the adjusted annual rate is 2.577%.
Does this check nisab?
Yes. It compares the pure-gold equivalent with 85g. It does not determine when your hawl begins, whether fluctuations reset it, or how personal-use jewelry is treated.
Is this a fatwa?
No. It is an educational estimate only and not a fatwa. Consult a qualified scholar for personal cases.
