This page explains how PakZakat turns the numbers you enter into an estimated result.
1. Eligible assets
The calculator totals cash and bank balances, gold, silver, investments, business assets and qualifying money owed to you.
2. Metal conversion
One Pakistani tola is treated as 11.664 grams. Per-tola metal prices are divided by 11.664 for gram-based valuation.
3. Nisab
The calculator values 87.48g of gold and 612.36g of silver and uses the lower monetary value as its simplified automatic threshold.
4. Net wealth
Net eligible wealth = eligible assets − entered liabilities. The result cannot be below zero.
5. Zakat estimate
If net eligible wealth is at or above Nisab, the estimate is Net eligible wealth × 0.025.
6. Scholarly differences
Jewellery, debt deductions, investments, business assets, Nisab choice and other issues can differ by school and circumstance.
