Nisab Today in BDT
The live zakat threshold in Bangladeshi Taka, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
The classical Indo-Pak figures of 7.5 tola gold / 52.5 tola silver correspond to the alternate 87.48 g / 612.36 g standard — both are legitimate scholarly conversions.
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Bangladeshi Taka — cash in BDT, gold and silver, money owed to you, and business inventory — stays at or above the nisab for one full lunar year, zakat of 2.5% is due. Most scholars recommend checking against the lower silver figure (152,161 BDT today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in BDT today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 1,465,903 BDT. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 152,161 BDT. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the BDT exchange rate.
Gold or silver standard — which should I use?+
Most scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower — zakat becomes due sooner and more of the poor benefit. The gold standard is also valid.
Why does the nisab in Bangladeshi Taka change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the BDT exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
