What is the Nisab threshold?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must hold for one lunar year before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is equal to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver — whichever is lower in monetary value.

How is Zakat calculated?

Zakat is 2.5% of your net qualifying wealth (total assets minus immediate debts and liabilities) that has been above the Nisab threshold for one lunar year.

What assets are Zakatable?

Zakat applies to cash, bank balances, gold, silver, stocks/shares held for trading, business inventory, receivables, and other liquid assets. Personal items like your home, car, and furniture are generally exempt.

Is this calculator a substitute for scholarly advice?

No. Zakat jurisprudence (fiqh) has many nuances. This calculator provides a general estimate based on common scholarly opinions. For complex situations — such as business inventory valuation, mixed-use assets, or retirement accounts — consult a qualified Islamic scholar.
