With Ramadan about to start, Muslims all over the world, including Pakistan, are all ready to fulfil their religious obligation of paying Zakat — one of the five pillars of Islam — ensuring that the wealth reaches those in need.
But calculating the Zakat amount (2.5% of one's savings) can be a tough task for many who are not well-versed with numbers. To make this process easier, Gadinsider has made a Zakat Calculator for Ramadan 2025, designed to help people accurately determine their Zakat amounts.
While using Gadinsider’s Zakat calculator, you will be asked to write the amount you have in savings, the amount you have given in loan, and the amount equivalent to the gold that you own. In case you are unaware of the amount equivalent to the gold, you can also specify the weight (like 1 tola, for example).
The online calculator will then factor in the current Nisab level for gold in Pakistan – the minimum value your holdings need to reach before Zakat becomes obligatory.
After providing these values, you will be able to determine if your gold qualifies for Zakat and, if so, the exact amount you need to contribute.
Remember, Gadinsider’s online Zakat calculator is a helpful starting point as people struggle to determine the correct amount of Zakat on one tola gold in Pakistan or how much Zakat on one lakh Pakistani rupees they need to pay. However, for any complex financial situation, consulting a qualified Islamic scholar is always recommended.
Disclaimer: The amount of Zakat is calculated as per the rate of gold on March 1, 2025.
