Price by karat#

Karat is gold out of 24 parts, so each row is the pure-gold price scaled by its karat: 18K is 18/24, or 75% gold. These are metal values only — a jeweller's price adds making charges and margin.

Why a troy ounce is not an ounce#

Precious metals are quoted per troy ounce, which is exactly 31.1034768 grams. The ordinary avoirdupois ounce used for food is about 28.35 g. They are different units with the same name, and dividing a spot price by the wrong one leaves you roughly 9% adrift — enough to put a borderline holding on the wrong side of the nisāb.

So the per-gram figure above is the spot price divided by 31.1034768, and the per-kilogram figure is that multiplied by a thousand. The same constant is used by the calculator and by the iOS app — it is defined once and imported, never retyped.

A pound here is the everyday avoirdupois pound, 453.59237 g — not the troy pound. Metals are quoted per troy ounce, 31.1034768 g.

What this means for your zakat#

The gold nisāb is 85 g, so at today's price that threshold is 110 419 kr in NOK on the AAOIFI (85g gold / 595g silver) standard. Wealth at or above the governing nisāb, held for a lunar year, is zakatable at 2.5%.
