About this zakat calculator
Zakat is an obligation of 2.5 percent on qualifying wealth that stays above the nisab for a full lunar year. The nisab is the minimum threshold, equal to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Many scholars in South Asia use the silver nisab because it is lower, while others use gold, so you can switch between them. Enter current local prices per gram, because the nisab depends on them.
