About Gold Zakat Calculator

For families with gold

Gold Zakat Calculator answers the question many families find hardest at zakat time: what is all this gold worth, and does the jewellery count? It weighs each piece by its own carat, shows the pure gold and puts both views on worn jewellery side by side. For the other pillars, see the guides from Muslims Around the World.

Who runs it

Gold Zakat Calculator is made by Muslims Around the World, one of a family of small Islamic websites that each do one job well. Every site in the family is listed on the Muslims Around the World sites page.

Muslims Around the World is protecting the legacy of Ali Banat, may Allah have mercy on him, and every site in the family is part of that work. Read his story.

You can learn more with us at the Muslims Around the World home page: short reminders from scholars, duas with their meaning, Quran recitations and prayer times.

It is free, has no third-party adverts and asks for no account; the calculator itself never asks you for money.

How it works

The sum

Everything you own that counts, less debts and bills due now, compared with the nisab; if it reaches the nisab, a quarter of a tenth (2.5%) is due once a lunar year has passed.

The nisab

About 87.48 g of gold or 612.36 g of silver: 20 dinars of gold and 200 dirhams of silver. You choose which one to compare with.

Prices

The calculator starts with the spot prices of pure gold and silver on 8 October 2026 (£100.32 and £1.44 a gram, from gold-api.com). Prices move every day, so check today’s and change them on the page.

Same as the main site

The sums, the nisab weights and the starting prices in pounds are the same as the zakat calculator on muslimsaroundtheworld.org.

Your figures

Every sum is worked out by your own browser, on the page. Nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else, and nothing is saved: close the page and it is gone.

Sources

Every religious point names its Quran verse or hadith collection and number, all of them already set out in the guides on muslimsaroundtheworld.org. Where the schools of law differ, each view is given with its source; the site gives no ruling of its own.

Advice

The calculator is a tool for doing the sums, not a fatwa or financial, tax or legal advice. For anything that is not simple, such as a business, a pension or property, ask a scholar you trust.
