Zakat Calculator
Zakat is the obligatory alms in Islam — 2.5% of qualifying wealth held for a lunar year, given to eligible recipients. This free Zakat calculator totals your zakatable assets, subtracts debts, checks the nisab threshold, and computes the amount due.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the value of your cash, gold/silver, investments, and business goods.
- Enter debts you owe (subtracted from assets).
- Enter the nisab threshold in your currency (see note below).
- Click Calculate Zakat.
Zakat = 2.5% × (Zakatable Assets − Debts), if net ≥ Nisab
Nisab note: the minimum threshold is the value of 85 g of gold or 595 g of silver (scholars differ; silver nisab is lower and more cautious). Update the nisab field with your local value.
Worked Example
Cash $5,000 + Gold $2,000 + Stocks $3,000 − Debts $1,000 = $9,000 net wealth. Nisab $400 → above threshold. Zakat = 2.5% × $9,000 = $225.
Our Testing Process
Every DaProfitClub calculator is tested before publishing. We verify the 2.5% computation and nisab comparison against manual calculations, test edge cases (below nisab, zero debts), and confirm the tool works on desktop and mobile browsers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nisab?
Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold for Zakat to become obligatory — equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. If your net wealth is below nisab, no Zakat is due.
Do I pay Zakat on my home or car?
No. Personal residence, car, furniture, and tools of trade are exempt. Zakat applies to cash, gold/silver, investments, and business inventory held for trade.
When is Zakat due?
Once every lunar (Hijri) year on wealth held continuously above nisab. Many pay during Ramadan for convenience.
Who can receive Zakat?
The Quran (9:60) lists eight categories, including the poor, the needy, and those in debt. Consult a knowledgeable scholar for specific rulings.
