1

List your assets

Enter cash, gold, silver, trade stock and money people owe you — all in PKR at current market value.

2

Subtract your debts

Enter debts and liabilities you must pay. The calculator finds your net zakatable wealth.

3

Check nisab and pay

If your net wealth reaches nisab, you owe 2.5% of it. If not, no zakat is due.

How the zakat calculator Pakistan works

Zakat is 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth, paid once each lunar year. This zakat calculator Pakistan uses adds up everything zakatable — cash in hand and bank balances, gold and silver at today's market value, trade goods and business inventory, plus money owed to you — then subtracts your debts and liabilities. The result is your net zakatable wealth.

The nisab check

Zakat is only due if your net wealth reaches nisab: the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Most scholars in Pakistan apply the silver nisab (about 52.5 tola), because it is lower and means more recipients benefit. The calculator defaults to roughly Rs 345,000 — the silver nisab at about Rs 6,578 per tola on 3 October 2026 — but silver prices move, so update the field with the current rate for precision.

The zakat formula explained

Zakat = 2.5% x (assets - debts), payable only if (assets - debts) >= nisab, and only if the wealth has been held for one full lunar year (hawl). For example: Rs 450,000 in assets minus Rs 50,000 in debts = Rs 400,000 net wealth. That exceeds the Rs 345,000 nisab, so zakat = 2.5% x 400,000 = Rs 10,000.

What counts — and what does not

  • Zakatable: cash, bank balances, gold, silver, shares held as investment, trade inventory, money owed to you.
  • Not zakatable: your primary home, personal car, household items, clothing, and tools of your trade — these are for personal use, not wealth held as value.
  • Hawl: the wealth must have stayed at or above nisab for a full lunar year. New wealth acquired during the year joins the same hawl under most scholarly views.

Frequently asked questions

How is zakat calculated in Pakistan?
Add all zakatable assets (cash, bank, gold, silver, trade goods, money owed to you), subtract debts payable, and pay 2.5% of the net amount if it reaches nisab and has been held for one lunar year.
What is the nisab for zakat in Pakistan?
Nisab is the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Most scholars in Pakistan use the silver nisab (about 52.5 tola) — roughly Rs 345,000 as of 3 October 2026, though the silver price moves.
Do I pay zakat on my house and car?
No. Your primary residence, personal car, household items, and tools of your trade are not zakatable. Only wealth held as a store of value — cash, gold, silver, and trade inventory — counts.
What is the zakat rate on gold?
Gold is zakatable at the standard 2.5% rate, just like cash and silver — provided your total net wealth reaches nisab.
What is hawl in zakat?
Hawl is one lunar year. Zakat becomes due only if your zakatable wealth has remained at or above nisab for a full lunar year.
