How these values are calculated
Each value is the listed weight multiplied by the market rate per gram. This calculator uses nisaab weights of 85 grams of gold and 595 grams of silver. Market rates are indicative and may differ from retail or buy-back prices.
The mahr amounts are reference values, rather than a universal minimum or maximum. For guidance on which nisaab basis applies or an appropriate mahr, ask the Department.
