Zakat Calculator

Zakat is 2.5% of your qualifying wealth that has been held for one lunar year, once it reaches the nisab threshold. Enter your figures below. It runs in your browser; nothing is saved or sent. Use your own currency throughout.

1. Nisab threshold

Nisab is commonly set at 85 g of gold or 595 g of silver (silver gives a lower threshold, often preferred as it benefits the poor). Enter today's price per gram from a trusted source, then choose which standard you follow.

Gold price per gram

Silver price per gram

2. Your wealth

Cash at home and in bank accounts

Gold you own (grams, for savings/investment)

Silver you own (grams)

Shares or funds (market value)

Business stock and trade goods

Money owed to you and expected back

3. Debts due now

Bills and debts due within the year

Planning Ramadan giving? The Ramadan 2027 Planner Printable (my own product, made with AI assistance) has a zakat worksheet, a charity log and an Eid checklist. Code LAUNCH30 gives 30% off while it lasts. Also see the Ramadan preparation checklist and the Savings Goal Calculator.

How this calculator works

Total qualifying wealth = cash + gold and silver at today's price + shares + business stock + money owed to you that you expect to get back. Subtract debts due now. If the result is at or above the nisab, zakat is 2.5% of it. Below nisab, no zakat is due on that amount.

Things to keep in mind

Zakat is due after your wealth has stayed at or above nisab for one full lunar year (hawl). Many people pick one date each year, often in Ramadan.
Your home, car and everyday items are generally not zakatable. Jewellery rulings differ between schools, so ask a scholar.
Pensions, property held for rent or sale, and loans you may not recover have specific rulings. This tool does not decide them.
Pay zakat to eligible recipients, and keep a record. A charity log helps.

This is a simple estimator, not a religious ruling or financial advice. For your own situation, check with a qualified scholar or your local zakat authority.
