Zakat on Silver Calculator

Enter your silver in grams or tola and set today's price. The calculator first checks the nisab (612.36 grams), then shows the 2.5% Zakat both as money and as a weight of silver.

Enter today's market price yourself — the prefilled figure is an example, not a live rate.

Weight in grams

700 g

Total value

Rs 210,000

Zakat (2.5%)

Rs 5,250

Your silver reaches the nisab (612.36 g = 52.5 tola), so Zakat is due. Instead of cash you may give silver itself: 17.5 g.

The method is simple

One tola is 11.664 grams, so the nisab of fifty-two and a half tola is 612.36 grams. Multiply the weight by today's per-gram price for the total value; one-fortieth of it — 2.5% — is your Zakat. For gold, use the Zakat on gold calculator; for the full picture, including cash and trade goods, use the main Zakat calculator. The background is in our nisab guide.

Frequently asked questions

How much silver makes Zakat obligatory?+

The nisab for silver in Fiqh-e-Hanafi is 612.36 grams — fifty-two and a half tola. Own at least that much for a full lunar year and Zakat is due on all of it; own less (and nothing else that combines to a nisab) and Zakat is not due on the silver alone.

How much Zakat is due on 700 grams of silver?+

Zakat is 2.5% of the silver's current value. At Rs 300 per gram, 700 grams are worth Rs 210,000 and the Zakat is Rs 5,250 — or, in silver itself, 17.5 grams. Try it in the calculator with today's price.

Is Zakat due on silver jewellery I wear?+

Yes — in Fiqh-e-Hanafi, silver you own is zakatable whether it is jewellery in daily use, stored jewellery, coins or bars, as long as it reaches the nisab. This is the same position the school takes for gold.

Can I pay the Zakat as silver instead of cash?+

The calculator shows both figures side by side: the cash value of the 2.5%, and the weight of silver equal to it, so you can see exactly what each option comes to.

My silver is below the nisab but I also have cash and gold. What then?+

Assets combine. If your silver, gold, cash and trade goods together reach the nisab (valued in rupees), Zakat is due on the total. Use the main Zakat calculator, which adds everything together before the nisab check.
