Zakat calculator
Work out how much Zakat you owe in a few minutes, using live gold and silver prices for the nisab. Everything you enter stays in your browser.
How we work out your Zakat
- We add up the wealth you have held for one lunar year: cash, savings, gold, silver, investments, business stock and money you are owed.
- We take away the debts you owe. Under the majority view, these are debts due now and the next 12 months of long-term instalments. Under the Hanafi view, all of your debts are deducted.
- We compare what is left with the nisab, the value of 612.36 grams of silver or 87.48 grams of gold.
- If your net wealth is at or above the nisab, your Zakat is 2.5% of it.
This calculator gives an estimate. For your personal circumstances, please consult a scholar.
