Zakat & Islamic Finance Calculators
Zakat is a fixed share of what you hold — but working out whether you owe it at all depends on the nisab threshold, and that moves with the gold and silver price.

About these calculators
These seven calculators deliberately ask you to enter today's gold or silver rate yourself rather than reading it from a stored table. Rates change daily, and a hardcoded figure quietly goes stale and produces a wrong answer with no warning. Look the current rate up, paste it in, and the calculation is accurate on the day you use it. Any currency works — the maths does not care which one you type.
The livestock and crop calculators show the Hanafi and Shafi'i positions side by side, because the thresholds genuinely differ between schools. These tools are a calculation aid, not a religious ruling; for anything consequential, check the result with a scholar you trust.

Start with the money zakat calculator for cash and savings. It works in any currency — rupees, riyals, pounds or dollars — once you enter today's gold or silver price.
How to calculate zakat in four steps
- On your zakat date, add up cash, bank balances, gold, silver, business stock and money owed to you.
- Subtract debts that are due now.
- Check the total against nisab. If it is below, no zakat is due.
- If it is at or above nisab, pay 2.5%. On 400,000 rupees, that is 10,000 rupees.
Zakat al-Fitr
Zakat al-Fitr is a separate, small charity paid at the end of Ramadan, before the Eid prayer. It is due for every member of the household who can afford it. The amount is one sa' of a staple food — roughly 2.5 to 3 kg of wheat, rice or dates per person. Many mosques and councils publish a cash value each year, so check the figure set in your country.
Zakat on rental property
Most scholars say the rental property itself is not zakatable, because it is kept to earn income, not to sell. The rent you have saved is different: on your zakat date it counts as cash. A property bought to resell is treated as business stock and counted at its market value — use the trade zakat calculator for that.
