Choose Simple or Advanced mode to calculate your zakat.
Any adult Muslim who owns wealth above the nisab threshold for one lunar year must pay zakat. The wealth must be fully owned, accessible, and free from immediate essential needs.
Zakat applies to cash, gold, silver, business inventory, investments, rental income savings, and other liquid assets. Personal items like your home, car, furniture, and daily-use items are not zakatable.
Yes. Short‑term debts due within one year can be deducted from your zakatable assets. Long‑term debts are only deductible if the payment is due within the current year.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have before zakat becomes obligatory. It is based on the value of 85g of gold or 595g of silver.
Silver nisab is lower, meaning more people qualify to pay zakat. Many scholars recommend using silver to maximize charity, but using gold is also valid. Choose based on your school of thought or local scholar advice.
Zakat is due once every lunar year on the same date you first reached nisab. Many Muslims choose Ramadan for convenience, but the obligation is tied to your personal zakat date.
Zakat can be given to the poor, needy, those in debt, new Muslims, travelers in difficulty, and other eligible categories mentioned in Qur’an 9:60. It cannot be given to your direct ascendants, descendants, or for building mosques.
