Type today's 24K gold price once and see every karat per gram, tola and ounce, the price of a piece with making charge and 5% VAT, and zakat against the 85 g nisab. Arabic and English, no account, works offline. Also as an API and libraries.

Hi PH! Buying gold jewellery in the Gulf means juggling karat, weight, a making charge quoted three different ways and VAT, and once a year working out zakat. We built a small calculator that does all of it in Arabic or English: enter the 24K rate, get a clear breakdown, no sign-up and no network calls. For the live rate itself we run سعر الذهب اليوم في الامارات (https://uaegoldprices.ae/). The maths is open source (npm, PyPI, crates, pub, NuGet, RubyGems, Packagist) with the same test vectors everywhere. Feedback welcome!
