🕌 Zakat Calculator

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam: Muslims whose wealth exceeds a minimum threshold (nisab) pay 2.5% of their net assets annually. This calculator uses the most widely used standard, the gold nisab of 85 grams: nisab value = 85 × gold price per gram. For example, at a gold price of $75/gram, the nisab value is 85 × $75 = $6,375. Net zakatable assets = cash + (gold grams × gold price) + (silver grams × silver price) + investments/business assets − short-term debts. If this is at or above the nisab value, zakat due = net assets × 2.5%. For example, with net assets of $10,000 and a nisab of $6,375, you are above the nisab, so zakat due is $10,000 × 2.5% = $250. If net assets were instead $5,000 (below the $6,375 nisab), no zakat would be due — shown as "not due" rather than a misleading $0.

This calculator is a simplified, general-purpose tool covering cash and bank balances, gold, silver, and standard investment/business assets net of short-term debt. Real zakat rulings include separate categories — agricultural produce, livestock, and buried treasure (rikaz) — each with their own nisab thresholds, rates, and timing, and interpretations can vary between schools of thought (madhabs). Gold and silver prices are not fetched automatically; you must look up and enter the current market price yourself at the time of calculation. If your assets are more complex (business inventory, rental property, retirement accounts) or you need a definitive ruling, treat this calculator as a starting reference only and consult a qualified scholar or a trusted zakat organization.
