Quick answer: Zakat on 3 tola of gold is 2.5% of its value. 3 tola ≈ 34.98 grams; multiply that by today’s gold price per gram, then take 2.5%.
One tola is about 11.66 grams, so 3 tola ≈ 34.98 g. At an illustrative gold price of $70/g that is about $2,449, and Zakat (2.5%) ≈ $61. Alone this is below the gold nisab (87.48g), but Zakat is due if your gold plus other wealth exceeds nisab.
