About the Zakat Calculator
Zakat is generally calculated as 2.5% of zakatable wealth that has been held for a lunar year and is above the nisab threshold. This calculator helps you add up your assets, subtract debts you owe and estimate the amount due.
How to use the Zakat Calculator
- Enter your cash and bank balances, the value of gold and silver you own, and business or investment assets.
- Enter the debts you owe.
- Enter the current nisab value in your currency.
- Read your net wealth and the estimated zakat due.
Good to know
- Nisab is commonly based on 612.36 grams of silver or 87.48 grams of gold. Scholars and organisations differ on which to use, so follow the guidance you trust and look up the current market price.
- Zakat is generally due when your net wealth stays above nisab for a full lunar year. This tool does not track that period for you.
- Rules for items such as jewellery, shares, property and pensions vary between schools of thought. Ask a qualified scholar about your situation.
Frequently asked questions
How much zakat do I pay?
The usual rate is 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth if it is above nisab.
Does the calculator give a religious ruling?
No. It is a calculation aid and gives an estimate only. A qualified scholar should answer questions about what is zakatable.
Why do I need to enter the nisab myself?
Gold and silver prices change every day, so you enter the current value in your own currency to get an accurate result.
