  3. Click Calculate Zakat to see your obligation.

How Zakat Is Calculated

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, obligatory on Muslims whose wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year. The Zakat rate is a fixed 2.5% of total zakatable wealth:

Zakat Due = Total Zakatable Assets × 2.5% (only if assets exceed the Nisab threshold)

What Counts as Zakatable Wealth

Short-term debts you owe are typically deducted from your total assets before calculating Zakat.

Understanding Nisab

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold below which Zakat is not obligatory, traditionally defined as the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver — since these values fluctuate with market prices, you should calculate the current Nisab value using today's gold or silver rate before using this calculator.

Why This Calculator Needs Your Input

Since gold and silver prices change daily, and different scholars/schools of thought have varying interpretations on certain zakatable asset categories, this calculator asks you to input the current Nisab value rather than hardcoding a value that would quickly become outdated or potentially not match your school of thought's calculation method.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Zakat rate?

Zakat is calculated at a fixed rate of 2.5% of total zakatable wealth, provided that wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold and has been held for a full lunar year (Hawl).

How do I find the current Nisab value?

Nisab is based on the current market value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Check a current Islamic finance resource or calculate it yourself using today's gold/silver rate for an accurate figure.

What if my assets are below Nisab?

If your total zakatable wealth is below the Nisab threshold, Zakat is not obligatory on you for that year.
