Zakat Calculation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Zakat and why is it important?

Zakat is an obligatory form of charity in Islam. It purifies your wealth and supports those in need. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and becomes due once a Muslim’s wealth reaches the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year.

2. Who is required to pay Zakat?

Any adult Muslim who owns wealth above the Nisab threshold for one full lunar (Hijri) year is required to pay Zakat.

3. How often should I pay Zakat?

Zakat is paid once every lunar year. Many Muslims choose a consistent date each year to make the process easier.

4. What is the Nisab threshold?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have before Zakat becomes obligatory. This calculator uses the two standard Nisab values: 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. You can choose either option based on your preferred opinion.

5. Should I use gold or silver Nisab?

Both are valid. Gold Nisab is commonly used today because it reflects modern wealth levels more accurately. Silver Nisab is lower and results in more people qualifying for Zakat.

6. How does this calculator determine the Nisab value?

The calculator uses the current market price of gold to calculate the gold‑based Nisab in your local currency.

7. Which assets are included in Zakat?

Zakatable assets include gold, silver, cash, savings, investments, business inventory, and money owed to you. Personal items like your home, car, and daily‑use belongings are not Zakatable.

8. Do I need to include gold carat purity?

Yes. Gold purity affects its value. The calculator allows you to enter the exact carat (such as 24k, 22k, or 18k) for accurate Zakat calculations.

9. What should I do if my gold is mixed carat?

If you have gold items with different carats, you can enter each item separately using the multiple gold rows in the calculator. Simply select the correct carat for each item, and the tool will calculate the total value accurately.

10. How do I calculate Zakat on cash and savings?

Add all cash on hand, bank balances, and savings. These amounts are fully Zakatable at 2.5%.

11. How do I calculate Zakat on investments?

For investments such as stocks, mutual funds, or crypto, you can enter their current market value into the calculator. If you actively trade these assets, Zakat is due on the full value. For long‑term or retirement investments, only the Zakatable portion applies, so you may check with a local Islamic center or scholar for detailed guidance.

12. How are liabilities deducted?

Immediate debts and short‑term liabilities can be subtracted from your total Zakatable assets before calculating Zakat. Since liability rules can vary based on scholarly opinion, you may also check with your local Islamic center or a qualified scholar for guidance on what should be included.

13. Can I use this calculator if I follow the silver Nisab opinion?

Yes. You can manually compare your total wealth to the silver Nisab value if you prefer that opinion.

14. How does the calculator handle different currencies?

You simply enter the gold price in your local currency. All calculations automatically follow the same currency you provide.

15. Is the gold price automatically updated or do I enter it manually?

You enter the gold price manually. This ensures accuracy based on your local market and avoids outdated or incorrect data.

16. Does the calculator work on mobile devices?

Yes. The calculator is fully responsive and works smoothly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

17. Do I need to create an account to use the calculator?

No. The tool works instantly with no login, no signup, and no personal information required.

18. Can I use this calculator for both personal and business Zakat?

Yes. You can calculate Zakat for personal wealth, business inventory, investments, or a combination of both.

19. Can I use this tool to calculate Zakat for my family members?

Yes. You can calculate Zakat for yourself or for family members by entering their asset values separately.

20. Does this website store or track any personal data?

No. All calculations happen instantly in your browser. Nothing is stored, saved, or sent to any server.

21. Can I download or print my Zakat summary?
