☪️ Zakat Calculator
Enter your qualifying assets — cash, gold, silver, business inventory, and investments — minus debts, to calculate your annual Zakat using the standard 2.5% method.
Enter today's nisab value (based on current gold/silver price) to keep this accurate.
How the Zakat Calculator works
Zakat is calculated as 2.5% of total qualifying wealth held for a full lunar year, once that wealth exceeds the nisab threshold (a minimum amount, traditionally based on the value of gold or silver). Enter today's nisab value to keep the calculation current.
Step-by-step calculation
- 1Add up qualifying wealth held for a lunar year.
- 2Compare with today's nisab value.
- 3If above nisab, multiply by 2.5%.
Worked example
$20,000 of qualifying savings held for a full lunar year: $20,000 × 2.5% = $500.

Frequently asked questions
What is nisab?
The minimum threshold of wealth a person must have before Zakat becomes obligatory, traditionally based on the current market value of gold or silver.
Do all scholars agree on the exact method?
The 2.5% standard method used here is the most widely followed, but rulings on specific asset categories can vary by school of thought — consult a knowledgeable scholar for your specific situation.
Why do I need to enter the nisab value myself?
Nisab is based on current gold/silver prices, which change daily — entering today's value keeps your calculation accurate regardless of when you use this tool.
