About this tool
Zakat is the annual charity due on wealth by Muslims whose net savings reach the Nisab and have been held for one lunar year (hawl). The usual rate is 2.5% of net zakatable wealth.
The Nisab is the minimum threshold, commonly set at 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Many scholars recommend the silver threshold today because it is lower and benefits more people in need, but opinions differ, so we let you choose. This calculator gives general guidance and does not replace advice from a qualified scholar, especially for business assets, jewellery for personal use, property and pensions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Zakat rate?
The standard rate is 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth, once it has reached the Nisab and been held for a full lunar year.
Should I use the gold or silver Nisab?
Both are used. The silver Nisab is lower, so more people are required to pay. Follow the opinion of your scholar or school of thought.
Which assets count?
Generally cash, savings, gold and silver, investments held for profit, trade goods and money owed to you that you expect to receive. Your home, car and personal items are normally not included.
Is this a religious ruling?
No. It is a calculation aid. Please check the details of your situation with a qualified scholar.
