Use CalculatorFulfilling the third pillar of Islam is a spiritual obligation that brings purity to your wealth and barakah to your life. However, calculating Zakat (Al-Zakah) accurately can be confusing due to fluctuating gold and silver prices. QuickNisab.com simplifies this process. Our tool helps you determine if your wealth meets the Nisab threshold—the minimum amount required to pay Zakat—using the latest market data for Gold and Silver.
Nisab is the specific minimum amount of wealth that a Muslim must possess for a full lunar year (Hawl) before Zakat becomes obligatory. If your net assets (after deducting immediate debts) are below this threshold, you are not required to pay Zakat.
Which one should you choose?
Most Islamic scholars recommend using the Silver Standard for cash and liquid assets.
Since the price of silver is significantly lower than gold, this lower threshold ensures that more
people qualify to pay Zakat,
thereby providing greater support to the poor and needy. However, if your wealth is strictly in gold,
you may use the Gold Standard.
Enter the current price of Gold and Silver per gram in your local currency. This ensures 100% accuracy for your specific region.
Enter the total value of your Cash, Bank Savings, and the weight of any Gold or Silver you possess.
Subtract any immediate debts or bills due this month. Future long-term debts (like mortgages) are generally not deducted.
Click the button to see if you meet the Nisab threshold and exactly how much Zakat (2.5%) you owe.
The value of precious metals changes daily. Using an outdated fixed rate from last year—or even last month—can lead to underpaying or overpaying your Zakat. QuickNisab allows you to input the exact current market rate for Gold and Silver in your country.
By calculating based on today’s value, you ensure your worship is performed correctly and your contribution to society is just.
Zakat is calculated on your total savings and assets (net wealth) held for one lunar year, NOT on your monthly income. You deduct immediate expenses and debts from your total assets to find the Zakatable amount.
There is a difference of opinion among scholars. Generally, jewelry used for daily wear is exempt in some schools of thought (e.g., Shafi'i), while others (e.g., Hanafi) consider it Zakatable regardless of use. Jewelry kept purely as an investment/saving is universally subject to Zakat.
You simply need to pay it once every lunar year from the day you first reached the Nisab threshold. However, many Muslims choose to calculate and pay during Ramadan to seek the multiplied rewards associated with the holy month.
