How much gold is exempt from Zakat?

The nisab threshold is 85 grams of gold (some scholars use 87.48 grams, based on a different mithqal-to-gram conversion). Below that weight, no Zakat is due on gold.

Do I pay Zakat on jewelry I wear?

Scholars differ. The Hanafi school holds that all gold is zakatable regardless of use. The Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools generally exempt jewelry actually worn for personal use in reasonable, customary amounts. This calculator lets you choose which opinion to follow.

How it's calculated

Nisab: 85 grams of gold (some scholars use 87.48g — see the nisab reference page).
Below nisab, no Zakat is due.
At or above nisab, Zakat is 2.5% of the total gold value.
Jewelry: if you follow the Hanafi position, it's included regardless of use. If you follow the Maliki, Shafi'i, or Hanbali position, worn jewelry in reasonable, customary amounts is exempt.
Gold must have been held for one full lunar year (hawl) to be zakatable.

This calculator applies the standard nisab and rate; it does not replace guidance from a qualified scholar, particularly on the jewelry question, mixed holdings, or your specific hawl date. If you're unsure which opinion to follow, consult a scholar or your local mosque.
