How zakat is calculated

Zakat is 2.5% of zakatable wealth that you have held for one lunar (Hijri) year, if it is at or above the nisab. The nisab is the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. With silver at 250 a gram, the nisab is 153,090; net wealth of 250,000 then owes 6,250 in zakat (2.5%). Debts due now are subtracted before comparing with the nisab.

Silver or gold nisab?

Silver gives a much lower nisab (612.36 g × price) than gold (87.48 g × price), so more people pay zakat and more reaches those in need; many organisations, such as Islamic Relief, recommend it. With gold at 20,000 a gram, the gold nisab is 1,749,600, over eleven times the silver nisab above. Scholars differ on which to use, so follow the guidance you trust.

What this calculator doesn't cover

It covers the common forms of wealth. Rulings differ for things like pensions, shares, property held for sale, crops and livestock, and jewellery worn regularly. For your own situation, ask a scholar or your local zakat authority.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I have to type the gold and silver prices?

So the nisab is right for your country and today's market. We never fetch prices, which keeps everything on your device and lets you use any currency.

Should I include gold jewellery I wear?

Scholars differ: the Hanafi school includes it, while the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools generally exempt jewellery that is worn regularly. Enter it if the guidance you follow includes it.

What counts as debts?

Debts that are due now or within the year, such as a loan instalment or a bill. Long-term debts like the full remaining mortgage are usually not subtracted in full.
