Zakat calculator

Calculate your zakat

Enter what you own and what you owe on your zakat date. We total it, check it against the nisab, and show what is due. Your figures stay on your device.

1. Choose your nisab

The nisab is the minimum wealth on which zakat is due. Follow the opinion of your scholar. The silver nisab is lower, so more people pay and the poor benefit more.

6. What you owe

Include only what is due now. For long-term debts such as a mortgage, deduct no more than the next payment. Ask your scholar if you are unsure.

Good to know

The lunar year

Zakat is due once your wealth has stayed above the nisab for a full lunar year (hawl). Many people choose a fixed date each year, such as in Ramadan.

What is not counted

Your home, car, furniture, clothes and everyday belongings are generally not zakatable. Scholars differ on pensions and jewellery you wear.

A guide, not a ruling

This calculator is an estimate to help you. Scholars differ on some details, so please check anything specific to your situation with a qualified scholar.
