Do not use an old price
Gold price is not fixed. The figure Rs 410,000 per tola is the rate used in the tool for its worked example. On your due date, the sarafa market price may be higher or lower. Use the price on that day for your own gold, and keep the calculation simple: value × 2.5%.
Remember: gold Nisab is 7.5 tola (87.48 grams). Owning 1 tola alone is below gold Nisab, but if your total zakatable wealth — cash plus gold plus silver and other assets — is at or above Nisab, Zakat is due on the total.
Key facts you must not change
2.5% = 1/40
87.48 grams = 7.5 tola
612.36 grams = 52.5 tola
Rs 252,000
Zakat is due only when your zakatable wealth, held for one lunar year, is at or above Nisab (نصاب). Below Nisab, Zakat is not due on that wealth alone.
Worked examples
1 tola at Rs 410,000: Rs 410,000 × 2.5% = Rs 10,250 Zakat (in maths).
7.5 tola at Rs 410,000: 7.5 × Rs 410,000 = Rs 3,075,000. Zakat = Rs 3,075,000 × 2.5% = Rs 76,875.
Cash example: Rs 600,000 cash = Rs 15,000 Zakat, above the Rs 252,000 Nisab.
How to check on your due date
- Note the sarafa gold price per tola on that day.
- Multiply your tola weight by that price.
- Add cash, silver and other zakatable assets, deduct debts, check Nisab, then apply 2.5%.
