How to use the Zakat on Jewelry Calculator

In Pakistan and India, gold jewelry is weighed in tola, but zakat math needs grams: the nisab is 87.48 grams and zakat is 2.5% of the gold's market value. This zakat calculator for gold jewelry in tola converts your jewelry weight between tola, masha, grams, kilograms, and ounces instantly. Convert to grams first, then multiply by today's per-gram gold rate and take 2.5% to get your zakat amount.

  1. Enter your total gold jewelry weight in the amount box (add up all pieces, excluding stones and non-gold parts if possible).
  2. Select Tola in the From dropdown and Grams in the To dropdown — the result converts live.
  3. Use the swap button (⇄) if you want to convert the other way, e.g. grams back to tola.
  4. Multiply the gram figure by today's gold rate per gram, then take 2.5% of that value for your zakat.

Formula

1 tola = 11.6638 grams; 1 masha = 0.97198 grams (12 masha = 1 tola). Zakat on gold = 2.5% × (weight in grams × current gold price per gram). Jewelry kept for personal use vs. investment is treated differently by scholars — confirm your case.

Worked example

A set weighing 5 tola converts to 5 × 11.6638 = 58.319 grams. At Rs 30,000 per gram the gold is worth Rs 1,749,570, and 2.5% zakat = Rs 43,739. Since 58.3 g is below the 87.48 g nisab, zakat would only apply if combined with other zakatable wealth.

Frequently asked questions

Scholars differ: Hanafis generally require zakat on all gold above nisab including worn jewelry, while others exempt jewelry in regular personal use. Ask a scholar you trust, especially for large holdings.

Yes — zakat is calculated on the gold content only. Deduct the estimated weight of diamonds, pearls, and other stones, or have a jeweler estimate the pure gold weight.

Adjust for purity: multiply the weight by 21/24 or 18/24 to get the pure-gold equivalent before applying the nisab and 2.5% rate.
