Regional Calculators (India/PK/UAE)

How current are the rates used here?

Rates, slabs and thresholds are entered from published sources and treated as inputs, not as live values — they change with each budget or policy update. The calculators let you enter the current rate yourself, which keeps the arithmetic correct even when a published figure has moved on.

What is the difference between GST inclusive and exclusive?

Exclusive means the quoted price is before tax, so the tax is added on top. Inclusive means the tax is already inside the quoted price, so it must be backed out rather than added — otherwise you overcharge by the tax on the tax. The calculator shows both directions because invoices use both conventions.

How is zakat calculated on gold and savings?

Zakat applies to eligible wealth held for a lunar year that exceeds the nisab threshold, at the standard rate. Gold and silver are valued at current market weight, and savings are counted at their balance. Because nisab and rates are religious requirements rather than adjustable estimates, verify them with a qualified scholar before paying.
