Zakaat calculator

Estimate your Zakaat in a few steps. This guide is general; for personal circumstances please contact us.

Step 1: Add your Zakaatable assets

Cash, savings, gold/silver (at current value), business stock, receivables (expected to be paid), investment balances (non-retirement), trade goods.

Step 2: Subtract immediate debts

Short-term debts due now (e.g., outstanding bills, due loan instalments). Do not subtract long-term future amounts.

Step 3: Check the nisab

Compare your net total to the nisab (minimum threshold). You may use the silver nisab for greater caution. If net ≥ nisab and a lunar year has passed on your wealth, Zakaat is due.

Step 4: Calculate 2.5%

Zakaat is typically 2.5% (1/40) of your net Zakaatable wealth.
