Zakat is due once your total zakatable wealth — cash, savings, gold and silver, business inventory and qualifying investments — has been held for one full lunar (Hijri) year and meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold, conventionally set at the value of 85 grams of gold (some scholars use a 595g-silver Nisab instead, which is usually lower). Once eligible, Zakat is payable at a flat rate of 2.5% of the total qualifying wealth.
Nisab = 85 × current gold price per gram
Zakat = Total wealth × 2.5% (only if Total wealth ≥ Nisab)
Because gold prices move daily, this calculator asks you to enter today's rate rather than assuming a fixed figure — you can check the current price at any UAE gold souk, jeweller or bank.

The Nisab threshold is conventionally defined as the value of 85 grams of gold, which changes daily with the market price. Entering today's price keeps the threshold accurate.
No. This tool applies the commonly used gold-based Nisab and 2.5% rate as a general calculation aid. For guidance specific to your situation, consult a qualified scholar or your local Islamic affairs authority.
