Do I use the buying price or selling price of gold?

You must calculate your Zakat based on the current market selling price of gold on the day your Zakat is due, regardless of how much you originally bought the gold for.

What if my gold is 18K or 22K instead of 24K pure?

Zakat is calculated based on the actual pure gold content. You can either calculate the equivalent 24K weight of your 18K jewelry, or simply enter the current market price specifically for 18K gold per gram.

Do I pay Zakat on precious stones attached to the gold?

No. Zakat on jewelry is only calculated on the weight and value of the gold or silver itself. Diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones set within the jewelry are generally exempt unless they are kept specifically as business inventory.

Should I guess the weight of my jewelry?

It is highly recommended to get your jewelry professionally weighed at a local jeweler to ensure your Zakat payment is precisely accurate.

Is this calculator private?

Yes, 100%. We never save the weight, value, or location of your precious metals. The calculation runs entirely inside your browser window.
