How this Zakat calculator works

Zakat is due at 2.5% of net Zakatable wealth once that wealth is at or above the Nisab threshold, held for one lunar year. This calculator adds up your cash, gold, silver, business inventory, investments, and money owed to you, subtracts your debts and liabilities, and applies 2.5% to whatever remains.

The Nisab threshold is set using whichever metal basis you choose:

Silver basis: 612.36 grams of silver — the lower threshold, and the one most scholars recommend for maximum benefit to the poor.
Gold basis: 87.48 grams of gold.

Because gold and silver prices move daily, you enter today's rate per gram yourself — the calculator doesn't assume or fetch a price for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nisab?

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold above which Zakat becomes obligatory — traditionally the value of 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver, held for one full lunar year.

Should I use the gold or silver Nisab?

Silver Nisab is lower in value, so more people qualify to pay — many scholars consider it the more precautionary (and generous to recipients) choice. This calculator lets you pick either.

Do I need to enter today's gold/silver price?

Yes — gold and silver prices change daily, so enter the current rate per gram for an accurate result. This tool doesn't fetch live prices automatically.

Is this religious guidance?

No — this is a calculation aid only. For rulings on what counts as zakatable wealth in your specific situation, consult a qualified scholar.
