Live gold & silver Nisab · 170+ currencies · works anywhere
✓ This calculation was auto-saved on this device.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is traditionally measured as 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, valued at today's market price.
Zakat is calculated as 2.5% of your total net Zakatable wealth — cash, gold, silver, investments and business assets, minus immediate debts and liabilities — provided that wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year.
Silver Nisab is lower in value, so using it as your threshold means more people qualify to pay Zakat, which many scholars consider the more cautious and generous option. Gold Nisab sets a higher bar.
Your figures are saved only in your own browser's local storage for convenience, so you can return later. Nothing is transmitted to any server other than the public price feeds used to fetch live gold, silver and currency rates.
Use our Global Zakat Calculator to calculate your Zakat accurately according to the latest live gold and silver prices. The calculator automatically detects your location, lets you choose your local currency, and checks whether your wealth has reached the Nisab threshold.
Whether your assets include cash, gold, silver, bank savings, investments, business inventory, or money owed to you, this calculator provides a quick and reliable estimate of your Zakat obligation.
A simple guide to help you calculate your Zakat in just a few minutes — no Islamic finance background needed.
This calculator works out how much Zakat you owe this year. It looks at live gold and silver prices, checks if your wealth has crossed the minimum threshold (called Nisab), and then works out 2.5% of what you actually owe.
You don’t need to look up gold rates yourself or do any maths — the tool fetches today’s prices automatically and does the calculation for you.
Live prices, always up to date
The calculator pulls today’s gold and silver prices automatically, so you’re never working with outdated numbers. If one price source is down, it quietly switches to a backup source — you’ll never see an error.
Works in your own currency
Whether you use Rupees, Dirhams, Pounds, Naira, or any of 170+ other currencies, just pick yours from the dropdown and everything updates instantly.
Knows roughly where you are
The tool tries to detect your location and sets your currency automatically. You can always change it manually if it gets it wrong.
Remembers your numbers
Once you calculate your Zakat, your entries are saved on your own device. Come back later and your figures will still be there — you don’t have to type everything again.
Works even with a shaky internet connection
If live prices can’t be fetched for a moment, the calculator uses the last prices it saved and tells you it’s showing cached data, instead of just breaking.
Download your summary
Once you’ve calculated your Zakat, you can print it, save it as a PDF, or download it as a plain text file — handy for your own records or to share with family.
Step 1: Check the live prices at the top
When the page loads, look at the price bar near the top. It shows:
– Today’s 24K gold price
– Today’s silver price
– The gold Nisab value (based on 85 grams of gold)
– The silver Nisab value (based on 595 grams of silver)
A small dot next to “Live data” at the top right tells you the prices are current. If it says “cached” or “offline,” your numbers are still based on the last successful update — just refresh later if you want the freshest price.
Step 2: Pick your currency
Find the “Your currency” dropdown near the top of the form. The tool usually picks this automatically based on your location, but feel free to change it if you want your results in a different currency.
Step 3: Choose your Nisab basis
Right next to the currency selector, you’ll see “Nisab basis” with two choices:
– Silver — a lower threshold, meaning more people qualify to pay Zakat. Many scholars recommend this as the safer, more generous option.
– Gold — a higher threshold.
If you’re not sure which to pick, silver is the commonly recommended default.
Step 4: Fill in your cash and bank balances
Enter:
Cash in hand — physical money you’re holding
Bank accounts & savings — total balance across your accounts
You don’t need exact-to-the-decimal numbers — a close estimate is fine.
Step 5: Enter your gold and silver
If you own gold or silver jewelry, coins, or bars, weigh them in grams and enter the totals. The calculator automatically works out their value using today’s live price — you don’t need to know the price yourself.
Step 6: Add your investments and business assets
If any of these apply to you, fill them in:
Stocks, shares, or crypto — enter their current market value
Business inventory or trade goods — what your stock would sell for today
Money owed to you — only include amounts you genuinely expect to recover
Leave any field blank or at zero if it doesn’t apply.
Step 7: Subtract what you owe
In the Liabilities section, enter:
Debts due immediately — anything you must pay back right away
Bills & other dues — outstanding bills or obligations
These get subtracted from your total assets, since Zakat is only owed on wealth that’s genuinely yours to keep.
Step 8: Click “Calculate Zakat”
Once everything is filled in, click the **Calculate Zakat** button. Your results will appear just below the form, showing:
– Whether you’re above or below Nisab
– Your total Zakat-able assets
– Your total liabilities deducted
– Your net Zakatable wealth
– The Nisab threshold you’re being measured against
– The final Zakat amount payable (2.5% of your net wealth)
If your wealth is below the Nisab threshold, the tool will clearly tell you Zakat isn’t due this year — no payment required.
Step 9: Save, print, or download your result
Once you have your result:
Click Print to print the page directly
Click Download and choose PDF or TXT to save a copy of your summary for your records
Your entries are also automatically saved on your device, so if you close the page and come back later, your numbers will still be there.
Zakat applies once a year. The standard rule is that your wealth needs to stay above Nisab for one full lunar year before Zakat becomes due on it. This calculator shows you the maths for today’s snapshot — when exactly your Zakat year falls is something to track separately if you don’t already know your date.
Round numbers are fine. You’re not expected to track every rupee or dollar to the cent — a reasonably accurate estimate of your wealth is enough.
Your data stays with you. Nothing you type is sent to any server except the public requests used to fetch live gold, silver, and currency rates. Your financial details are saved only in your own browser.
If something doesn’t load, try clicking the small refresh icon (⟳) next to the price bar. If prices still won’t load, the calculator will fall back to the most recent prices it has saved.
That’s it — fill in your numbers, hit calculate, and you’ll know exactly where you stand.

Yes. The Global Zakat Calculator is completely free.
Does the calculator support different currencies?

Should I choose Gold or Silver Nisab?
