Enter what you own in any one currency. Zakat is 2.5% of zakatable wealth that has reached the nisab and been held for one full Hijri year.
How Zakat is worked out
Add up zakatable wealth: cash, gold, silver, goods held for trade and money owed to you that you expect back.
Subtract debts that are due now.
If the total is at or above the nisab and has been held for a full Hijri year, pay 2.5% (one fortieth).
Nisab: 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. According to the fatwas of Shaykh Ibn Baz and the Permanent Committee in Saudi Arabia, gold and silver jewellery worn by women is also zakatable once it reaches the nisab. This calculator is a guide; ask a trusted scholar about your own situation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab?
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth on which Zakat becomes due: 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. For cash, many scholars use the silver nisab because it is lower and benefits more poor people.
Do I pay Zakat on my house or car?
No. Things kept for personal use, such as your home, car and furniture, are not zakatable. Goods bought to resell are zakatable.
When is Zakat due?
Zakat is due once your wealth has stayed at or above the nisab for one full Hijri (lunar) year.
