Use the price a jeweller would pay you for your karat today. The silver price is needed even if you own no silver, because the nisab is measured in silver. BAJUS publishes per-bhori rates.

Nisab: how much wealth makes zakat due
Zakat is due when your zakatable wealth, after debts, has stayed at or above the nisab for one lunar year. The nisab is a fixed weight of metal: 52.5 tola of silver or 7.5 tola of gold. In Bangladesh a tola is the same as a bhori, 11.664 grams.
| Measure | Bhori / tola | Grams | In taka |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver nisab (রুপার নিসাব) | 52.5 | 612.36 | 52.5 × silver price per bhori |
| Gold nisab (সোনার নিসাব) | 7.5 | 87.48 | 7.5 × gold price per bhori |
The nisab in taka therefore moves with the market. If silver is ৳2,000 a bhori, the silver nisab is ৳1,05,000. If it is ৳3,000, the nisab is ৳1,57,500. That is why this page asks for today's price instead of printing a figure that would soon be wrong.
Which nisab applies to you
If the only zakatable thing you own is gold, the gold nisab applies by weight: zakat is due once you have 7.5 bhori or more. If you own gold together with cash, silver or business goods, the values are added together and measured against the silver nisab, which is far lower. This is the approach taught by scholars in Bangladesh following the Hanafi school, and most people with some gold and some savings fall under it. The calculator picks the basis this way and lets you change it if your scholar advises otherwise.
What to count and what to leave out
| Count | Do not count |
|---|---|
| Gold and silver in any form, including jewellery | The house you live in |
| Cash, bank balance, bKash, Nagad, Rocket balance | Household furniture, clothes, appliances |
| DPS, FDR, sanchayapatra, shares held for sale | Your own car or motorcycle |
| Goods bought to sell, at today's selling price | Tools and machinery you work with |
| Loans you gave that you expect to get back | Land or a flat kept to live on or to hold, not for sale |
From the total, deduct debts and instalments that are due for payment now. What remains is your net zakatable wealth. If it is at or above the nisab on your zakat date, you pay 2.5% of all of it, not only of the part above the nisab.
How to calculate zakat on gold in bhori and ana
One bhori is 16 ana, and one ana is 6 roti. Convert your gold to bhori, multiply by the price per bhori for its karat, and that is its value. Example: 5 bhori 8 ana is 5.5 bhori. At ৳1,50,000 a bhori it is worth ৳8,25,000. If you also hold ৳75,000 in cash and have no debts, your net wealth is ৳9,00,000 and the zakat is 2.5% of that, ৳22,500.
Zakat is counted over a lunar (Hijri) year, which is about 11 days shorter than the English year, so your zakat date moves earlier each year. Many people fix a date in Ramadan. Check today's Hijri date on the Bangla and Hijri date page, and value gold with the gold price calculator.
Limits of this calculator
This is an arithmetic aid, not a religious ruling. Scholars differ on details such as jewellery in regular use, long-term loans, provident funds and shares held for dividends. Zakat on crops and livestock follows different rules and is not covered. For your own case, ask a qualified scholar or the Islamic Foundation. Fitra is separate from zakat; the Islamic Foundation announces the amount each Ramadan.

How is zakat calculated?
Add the value of your gold, silver, cash, bank and wallet balances, savings, shares for sale, business stock and recoverable loans. Deduct debts due now. If the result is at or above the nisab, zakat is 2.5% of the whole amount.

Is zakat due on DPS, FDR and sanchayapatra?
Yes, they are savings you own. Count the amount deposited plus any profit already credited to you on your zakat date.
Do I pay zakat on my house and car?
No. The home you live in, household goods, clothes, your own vehicle and the tools of your work are not zakatable. Property or vehicles bought to sell are counted as trade goods.
Does this calculator include fitra?
No. Fitra is a separate payment for each family member before Eid-ul-Fitr. The Islamic Foundation announces the amount each Ramadan.
