About the Nisab reference value
Nisab — the minimum wealth threshold before Zakat applies — is defined by the Islamic tradition as the value of 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver. Those gram figures are fixed and standard. The tool converts them into a currency amount using a reference gold/silver price, but that monetary figure is a snapshot, not a live market price — gold and silver prices move daily. For a precise calculation, check the current Nisab equivalent against a live gold/silver price source before finalizing your figures, especially if your total wealth is close to the threshold either way.
What counts toward the total
Cash and bank savings, gold and silver (jewelry conventions vary by scholarly opinion — check your own school of thought), investments and stocks, business inventory, and property held for resale (not your primary residence) all factor in. Outstanding debts due are subtracted before the 2.5% is applied.
