About Gold Nisab & Zakat Calculator

Zakat Al Mal is a mandatory Islamic obligation requiring qualifying individuals to contribute a designated share of their accumulated wealth to prescribed categories of beneficiaries. To determine whether Zakat is due on your assets, your net liquid wealth must meet or exceed the Nisab threshold and remain above that minimum for one continuous lunar year (Hawl).

The classical Shariah benchmark for currency and monetary assets is the value of 85 grams of pure 24 Karat gold. Because market gold values change daily, the exact Nisab amount in Saudi Riyals shifts in tandem. This calculator links directly to our server gold rate cache to establish today's Nisab threshold in SAR. If your combined cash, gold reserves, financial investments, and trade inventory exceed this threshold after subtracting immediate debts, Zakat is payable at the 2.5 percent rate.
