Important
Zakat on gold generally applies only when you have owned and possessed at least the nisab amount for one complete lunar (Hijri) year (~354 days), not a solar calendar year—this is called hawl. Rules also vary by school of thought, debts, and other wealth. This page is for estimation only using a commonly used gold nisab threshold (85g pure). Confirm obligations with a qualified scholar or authority you trust.
Use this calculator to estimate zakat on gold jewelry or bullion in rupees. It uses the same 24K Kerala gold rate we publish for the latest trading day, converts 18K / 22K / 24K weights to pure gold equivalent, compares that to 85 grams (nisab), and shows 2.5% of the rupee value when the nisab is reached.
In mainstream fiqh, zakat on gold is not due the day you first reach nisab: you must usually own and possess at least that amount for one full lunar (Hijri) year (~354 days)—hawl. This tool does not track your anniversary dates; it only helps with weight, purity, nisab, and value at today’s rate.

How the calculation works
- Pure gold (g) = weight in grams × (karat ÷ 24).
- Value in ₹ = pure gold grams × today’s 24K price per gram (Kerala).
- If pure gold ≥ 85 g, the tool shows 2.5% × value as the mathematical amount if zakat were due—after you have completed hawl (one lunar year of possession at/above nisab). If below 85 g pure equivalent, it shows ₹0 for this gold-only check (other wealth may still affect your zakat).
This does not replace advice from a qualified Islamic scholar or your local zakat authority.
Frequently asked questions
Pure gold weight = total grams × (karat ÷ 24). For example, 100g of 22K gold is 100 × (22÷24) ≈ 91.67g of pure gold equivalent.
Usually not. For gold (and similar wealth), zakat is generally owed only after the gold has been in your possession at or above the nisab for one full lunar (Islamic) year—about 354 days. This period is called hawl. If you bought gold recently or your balance dipped below nisab during the year, your due date or amount can change; ask a scholar for your case.
Many contemporary guides use approximately 85g of pure gold as the nisab threshold for gold zakat; some opinions use a slightly different figure. Use what your scholar or local guideline recommends.
After converting jewelry to pure-gold equivalent, the rupee value is taken at the pure (24K) price per gram, matching how much that amount of pure gold would be worth in the market today.
For zakatable gold wealth above nisab that has completed a hawl, 2.5% is the standard rate in mainstream Islamic finance education. Your situation may include other assets, liabilities, or how nisab was reached that changes what you owe.
