  • Rules differ between schools of thought (for example on jewellery in daily use). Ask a scholar you trust if unsure.

About this calculator

Gold and silver prices are pre-filled with recent Pakistan market rates. Replace them with today's rate from your local sarafa market for an exact figure.

Formula

Net wealth = Zakatable assets − Debts due

Zakat = Net wealth × 2.5% (if net wealth ≥ nisab)

Nisab = 52.5 tola silver or 7.5 tola gold

Many scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower, so more people pay and the poor benefit more. A tola is 11.66 grams.

Examples

  • Rs 3 lakh cash + 5 tola gold

    Zakat due: Rs 62,500 (2.5% of Rs 2,500,000)

  • Rs 50,000 cash only

    No zakat due — your net wealth Rs 50,000 is below the nisab of Rs 341,250

Important information

  • Banks in Pakistan deduct zakat automatically from savings accounts on 1 Ramadan unless you have submitted a CZ-50 declaration.
  • Your home, car, furniture and household items for personal use are not zakatable.
