About the Zakat on Gold Calculator Pakistan
This zakat calculator is built for how gold is actually held in Pakistan: weights in tola (1 tola = 11.664 grams), jewellery that is 22K or 21K rather than pure, and rates quoted per tola in rupees. Enter your gold weight, its purity and today's market rate, and it computes the total value and the 2.5% zakat payable in PKR.
It also checks nisab — the minimum wealth at which zakat becomes obligatory. For someone who owns only gold, the threshold is 7.5 tola (87.48 g) of pure gold. If you also hold cash or savings, most scholars apply the much lower silver nisab (52.5 tola of silver) to your combined wealth, and the calculator flags this for you.
Gold rates in Pakistan change daily, so the rate field is fully editable with a reminder to check today's price — the pre-filled figure is only a placeholder. Add any cash savings held for a lunar year to get your complete zakat figure in one calculation. This tool is a guide; for edge cases consult a scholar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much zakat is due on 10 tola of gold?
10 tola of 24K gold at Rs. 350,000 per tola is worth Rs. 3,500,000 — zakat at 2.5% is Rs. 87,500. For 22K jewellery the value (and zakat) is about 8% lower since purity is 22/24. Enter today's actual rate for the precise figure.
What is the nisab for gold in Pakistan?
7.5 tola (87.48 grams) of pure gold. If your gold alone meets or exceeds that, and you've owned it for one lunar year, 2.5% zakat is due on its full value — not just the amount above nisab.
I have 5 tola of gold and some cash — do I pay zakat?
Very likely yes. When you own gold plus cash, most scholars use the silver nisab (52.5 tola of silver, only a few hundred thousand rupees in value) for the combined total, which such holdings normally exceed. The calculator applies 2.5% to your combined wealth.
Is zakat calculated on the purchase price or today's value?
Today's market value on your zakat date — not what you paid. That's why the tool asks for the current rate and reminds you to check it daily.
Does karat affect zakat on jewellery?
Yes — zakat is on the actual gold content. 22K jewellery is 22/24 (about 91.7%) pure, so a 12-tola 22K set counts as 11 tola of pure gold. The calculator handles this automatically from your karat selection.
