About the Zakat Calculator

Zakat al-mal is 2.5% of the wealth a Muslim has held for a full lunar year, once that wealth reaches the nisab. Enter what you own and what you owe, today’s gold or silver price, and the calculator shows whether zakat is due and how much.

Everything stays in your browser — nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

How does the Zakat Calculator work?

Zakatable wealth = cash and savings + the value of your gold and silver + investments + business stock for sale + money owed to you that you expect back − debts due now.

The nisab is the value of 85 g of gold or 595 g of silver at today’s price. If your zakatable wealth is at or above the nisab, zakat is 2.5% of it (one fortieth).

Tips

  • Pick one date each Hijri year to calculate your zakat — for example the 1st of Ramadan — so the lunar year is easy to track.
  • Using the silver nisab means more people pay zakat, which benefits those who receive it; many scholars recommend it for cash savings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the nisab for zakat?

The value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Because silver is much cheaper, the silver nisab is a much lower threshold.

Is zakat due on jewellery I wear?

Scholars differ: some schools exempt gold and silver jewellery worn regularly, others include it. The calculator counts whatever gold and silver you enter, so leave out jewellery if your school exempts it.

Is this a religious ruling?

No. It applies the commonly used rules to the figures you enter. For your own circumstances — pensions, property, business assets or debts — ask a scholar you trust.
