Quranic Ayat
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177 — Giving Wealth Despite Loving It
وَآتَى الْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينَ
"And gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves." — This verse defines true righteousness as giving from wealth you love — the foundation of Nisab: only those who HAVE wealth must give.
📚 Quran 2:177 — Nisab ensures only wealthy give

Sahih Hadith — Silver Nisab (52.5 Tola)
Sunan Abu Dawood 1572 • Narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه
وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْفِضَّةِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ
"Nothing is due from you on silver until it reaches 200 dirhams (= 612.36g / 52.5 tola). When it reaches 200 dirhams and a year has passed, 5 dirhams are due [2.5%]." — This is the exact prophetic source for the silver Nisab used in this calculator.
📚 Sunan Abu Dawood 1572 — Silver Nisab: 52.5 tola

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ فِي الذَّهَبِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَكَ عِشْرُونَ دِينَارًا
"Nothing is due from you on gold until you have 20 dinars (= 87.48g / 7.5 tola). When you have 20 dinars and a year passes, half a dinar is due." — Direct prophetic authority establishing the gold Nisab used globally by Islamic scholars and in Pakistan's Zakat Ordinance.

Quranic Ayat
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261 — The Reward of Giving Zakat
مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ
"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain that sprouts seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains. Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is All-Encompassing and Knowing." — Every rupee of Zakat given is multiplied 700× in divine reward.
📚 Quran 2:261 — 700× reward for Zakat

Sahih Hadith — The Haul (Lunar Year) Condition
Sunan Ibn Majah 1792 • Narrated by Aisha رضي الله عنها — Authenticated (Hasan)
لَا زَكَاةَ فِي مَالٍ حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ
"There is no Zakat on wealth until a year has passed over it (Haul)." — Narrated by Aisha رضي الله عنها. This establishes the Haul condition: your wealth must be at or above Nisab for a full lunar year (354 days) before Zakat becomes obligatory. The Haul clock resets if wealth drops below Nisab at any point during the year. This means your Nisab must be met CONTINUOUSLY — not just at the calculation date.
📚 Sunan Ibn Majah 1792 · Sunan al-Tirmidhi 631 — Haul is mandatory

Nisab Calculator Pakistan 2026 — Current PKR Value of Gold & Silver Thresholds

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold established by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that makes a Muslim liable to pay Zakat. It equals either 87.48 grams of gold (7.5 tola) or 612.36 grams of silver (52.5 tola). Pakistani scholars recommend the silver Nisab for mixed assets as it is the lower, more inclusive threshold — ensuring more people fulfil this obligation.

⚙️ How Nisab is Determined

  1. 1
    Choose the Nisab standard: Silver (recommended for mixed assets — PKR ~178K) or Gold (for gold-only — PKR ~2.1M). Silver is the scholars' default for Pakistani households.
  2. 2
    Enter current Sarafa rate: Get today's gold/silver price from any Sarafa market in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad. The calculator updates in real-time as you type.
  3. 3
    Add your total wealth: Cash + savings + gold/silver value + investments + business assets. Subtract immediate debts for net zakatable wealth.
  4. 4
    Confirm Haul (one lunar year): Your wealth must have been at or above Nisab for a full 354-day lunar year. Haul resets if wealth drops below Nisab.
  5. 5
    If eligible: Proceed to the Zakat Calculator to compute 2.5% on your net zakatable wealth.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Nisab Pakistan

What is the Nisab amount in Pakistan 2026?▼
In 2026, the silver Nisab in Pakistan is approximately PKR 177,000–190,000 (612.36g × PKR 290–310/gram). The gold Nisab is approximately PKR 2,100,000–2,200,000 (87.48g × PKR 24,000–25,000/gram). These amounts change daily with Sarafa market prices. Always use the current Sarafa rate for accuracy.
Why is silver Nisab so much lower than gold Nisab?▼
At the time of the Prophet ﷺ, the gold-to-silver price ratio was approximately 1:10. Today gold is 70–80× more expensive than silver per gram, creating a massive gap between the two Nisab amounts. Scholars who prioritise inclusivity (like most Pakistani Hanafi scholars) recommend silver Nisab (~PKR 180K) to ensure more believers meet their Zakat obligation.
Does worn gold jewellery count toward Nisab in Pakistan?▼
The majority Hanafi opinion (followed by most Pakistani scholars) holds that personal gold jewellery is zakatable and should be included in Nisab calculations at current Sarafa value. Some scholars permit an exemption for regularly worn ornaments. We recommend consulting your local mufti or Darul Ifta for a personalized ruling.
How many tola is the Nisab for gold and silver?▼
Gold Nisab = 7.5 tola = 87.48 grams. Silver Nisab = 52.5 tola = 612.36 grams. One tola = 11.664 grams — a traditional South Asian unit still used in Pakistan's Sarafa markets and referenced in official Zakat notifications issued by the Government of Pakistan annually.
