The Math Behind the Tool:
Standard Zakah is calculated as exactly 2.5% of your net wealth: (Total Assets - Liabilities) × 0.025.
For Gold, our calculator uses the universal purity formula to find its true value: Weight × (Carat / 24) × Price per 24k gram. For example, 100g of 18-Carat gold is calculated as 100 × (18/24), meaning you are taxed on the equivalent of 75 grams of pure gold.
