How the Tunisian Dinars nisab is calculated
Live nisab conversion in Tunisian Dinars
This page converts current gold and silver prices into Tunisian Dinars so Muslims in Tunisia can review a locally meaningful nisab reference. The thresholds are recalculated from the latest available data, not copied from a fixed annual table. Because metals and currencies trade continuously, figures may move between visits. Treat them as a timely planning snapshot rather than a permanent quote.
Date and foreign-exchange context
Note the update time before using a result. Each metal’s per-gram value is translated through the latest available TND foreign-exchange rate. Market hours, weekends, provider intervals, and wholesale or retail spreads can cause small differences from a bank or local dealer. Refresh the page on your assessment date so the metal and conversion inputs reflect the same calculation period.
The gold and silver measures
The gold benchmark is the market value of 85 grams of gold, while the silver benchmark is the value of 595 grams of silver. These weights correspond to the classical measures commonly used for nisab. Their converted totals can differ substantially because the metals have different prices. Both are shown so you can identify the standard relevant to your method rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Nisab and the hawl
Reaching nisab is only one part of assessing Zakat. For assets subject to a lunar-year holding period, eligible wealth generally must meet the applicable threshold for a complete hawl. Rules vary by asset and school of law, including how changes during the year are handled. Record when qualifying wealth first reaches nisab and track cash, savings, investments, trade goods, receivables, and deductible liabilities.
Using the calculator
After reviewing the threshold, open the calculator and enter your Zakat-eligible assets and permitted deductions. Use amounts valued for the date on which your obligation is assessed, and avoid mixing balances from unrelated dates. The calculator helps organize arithmetic consistently in Tunisian Dinars, but its result depends on complete, accurate inputs. Keep supporting records and revisit any asset whose ownership, liquidity, or valuation is uncertain.
