Calculate your zakat (2.5%) on cash, gold, silver, investments and business assets after debts.
What is the Zakat Calculator?
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam: 2.5% of qualifying wealth that has been held above the nisab threshold for one lunar year. This zakat calculator adds up your cash, bank balances, gold, silver, investments, business stock and money owed to you, subtracts debts that are due now, and compares the total with the nisab you enter.
It gives you a clear figure to discuss with your local scholar and makes yearly zakat planning easier, especially in Ramadan.
How to use the Zakat Calculator
- Enter today’s value of each zakatable asset in your currency.
- Enter debts and bills that are due now.
- Enter the current nisab value and read the zakat due.
What is nisab?
Nisab is the minimum wealth on which zakat becomes due: the value of 612.36 g of silver or 87.48 g of gold. Many scholars recommend using the silver nisab because it is lower, so more people pay zakat and more people in need benefit. Check today’s local silver and gold prices to find the value.
What is usually included?
- Cash at home and in bank accounts.
- Gold and silver (jewellery rules differ between schools of thought).
- Shares, mutual funds and savings certificates.
- Business inventory and goods for sale.
- Money others owe you that you expect to receive.
Personal home, car, furniture and tools of work are generally not included.
