How It Works
Zakat is 2.5% of the value of gold held above the nisab threshold. The value is grams times the live gold price per gram. The nisab is user-entered (85 grams is a common figure) and rules vary, so confirm with a scholar or local authority.
How to Use
Enter the gold you own in grams and the nisab threshold in grams, then press Calculate. The tool uses the live gold price and shows whether your holding reaches the nisab.
