About this calculator
Zakat is an annual obligation of 2.5% on qualifying wealth that has been held for a lunar year, payable once your net zakatable assets reach the nisab threshold. This calculator totals your cash, bank balances, the value of gold and silver, investments (including shares and funds), money owed to you, and saleable business stock, then subtracts immediate liabilities to find your net zakatable wealth.
If that net amount is at or above the nisab you enter, the tool applies 2.5%. Nisab tracks the market value of gold or silver, so update it to current rates. This is a practical aid; consult a qualified scholar for rulings on specific assets.
Frequently asked questions
What is nisab?
Nisab is the minimum amount of net wealth a Muslim must hold before zakat becomes due, based on the value of a set weight of gold (about 87.48g) or silver (about 612.36g). Enter its current rupee value; many follow the lower silver nisab to benefit recipients.
Which assets are zakatable?
Broadly: cash, bank balances, gold and silver, shares and investments held for growth, receivables you expect to collect, and business stock for sale. Personal-use items like your home and car are generally exempt.
Is the rate always 2.5%?
For monetary wealth, gold, silver, and trade goods, zakat is 2.5% of the net amount once held for a lunar year above nisab. Different rules apply to agricultural produce and livestock.
