What is the Zakat Calculator?
The Zakat Calculator is a free online tool that helps Muslims work out how much Zakat they owe each year on their eligible wealth. Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is obligatory on every adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold (the minimum value of gold or silver a person must own before Zakat becomes due) for a full lunar year. This tool lets you add up cash in hand and bank accounts, the current market value of gold and silver you own, general savings, and the net value of business assets and stock, then automatically applies the standard 2.5% Zakat rate to the total. Because gold and silver prices change daily and aren't fetched live by this tool, you can enter today's rate per gram or tola manually to keep your Nisab calculation accurate and up to date. The calculator supports both the gold-based and silver-based Nisab standards, letting you choose whichever your school of thought or local scholar recommends. It is built for individuals, families, and small business owners who want a quick, private, on-device estimate before finalising their Zakat payment, and works entirely without storing your financial details anywhere on our servers.
How to use it
Start by entering the current value of your cash on hand and in bank accounts, then add the market value of any gold and silver jewellery, coins, or bars you own — you can input today's price per gram or tola if you know it, or use the default reference values shown. Next, add any additional savings, investments, and the net value of business inventory or trade assets you hold. Choose whether you want the Nisab threshold calculated using the gold standard or the silver standard, since this determines the minimum wealth level at which Zakat becomes payable. Click 'Calculate Zakat' and the tool will total your assets, compare them against the selected Nisab threshold, and if your wealth qualifies, show the exact Zakat amount due at 2.5%. Review the breakdown to see which asset categories contributed to your total, and consult a scholar for any complex situations such as debts, jointly owned assets, or agricultural Zakat which this general calculator does not cover.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Zakat calculation accurate for my situation?
This tool gives a general 2.5% estimate on common asset categories using the Nisab threshold you select. For complex cases like debts, loans, or agricultural produce, consult a qualified scholar.
Why do I need to enter gold and silver prices manually?
Gold and silver rates change daily and vary by local market, so manual entry lets you use the most accurate current price rather than a stale live feed.
What is the Nisab threshold?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory, traditionally based on the value of roughly 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver.
Does this tool store my financial information?
No. All calculations run in your browser for your current session only and nothing is saved to our servers.
Is Zakat always exactly 2.5%?
For cash, gold, silver, savings, and trade goods, yes — 2.5% is the standard rate. Other asset types like agricultural produce or livestock follow different rates not covered by this tool.
