How Zakat Is Calculated

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam — an obligatory annual charity of 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth, paid by Muslims whose wealth exceeds the nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year (hawl). Zakatable wealth includes cash and bank savings, the value of gold and silver, investments and business assets, and money owed to you. Personal-use items like your home, car, and clothing are generally excluded. You subtract immediate debts and liabilities to arrive at net wealth.

The nisab is the minimum threshold above which Zakat becomes due, traditionally set as the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver — so it changes with metal prices. If your net zakatable wealth is at or above the nisab, you owe 2.5% of the total; if below, no Zakat is due that year. Update the nisab field with the current local value of gold or silver for an accurate result, and consult a qualified scholar for complex situations.

FAQ

Zakat is 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth (after subtracting debts), provided your wealth is at or above the nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year. On $20,000 of net zakatable wealth, Zakat would be $500.
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must hold before Zakat is obligatory. It's defined as the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver, so its cash value changes with current metal prices. Many scholars recommend the silver standard as it's lower and benefits more recipients. Enter the current local value in the nisab field.
Cash and savings, gold and silver, money in investments and business inventory, and money owed to you that you expect to recover. Your primary home, personal car, household goods, and tools of your trade are generally exempt. Immediate debts are subtracted from the total. This calculator follows that standard structure; consult a scholar for nuanced cases.
