Zakat Calculator

Zakat is the yearly charitable payment that Muslims make once their wealth reaches a minimum level called the nisab. This calculator works out how much zakat is due from the figures you enter. List your assets (cash in hand, bank balance, gold, silver, investments and shares, business stock, and any other zakatable assets), list what you owe (debts and other liabilities), and it shows your total assets, your total liabilities, your net wealth, and the zakat payable.

The rule it follows is simple. Net wealth is your total assets minus your liabilities. If net wealth is at or above the nisab you enter, the tool shows that you are eligible and calculates 2.5% of your whole net wealth. If it is below the nisab, or if your liabilities are larger than your assets, the zakat shown is zero. Note that the 2.5% applies to the entire net amount once the nisab is reached, not only to the part above it.

You need to type in the nisab value yourself, in your own currency. The page describes it as the current value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver, and the number already in the box is only a placeholder, not today's nisab. Look up the current gold or silver price in your currency, work out the value, and enter it. The currency menu (Pakistani rupee, US dollar, euro, pound, Indian rupee, UAE dirham, Saudi riyal, Malaysian ringgit, Indonesian rupiah, Turkish lira) changes the currency symbol shown, but it does not convert any amounts. The calculator does not track whether a full lunar year has passed on your wealth, so check that condition yourself. Scholars differ on some items, such as personal jewellery or which debts to deduct, so ask a qualified scholar if your situation is not simple.
