Zakat Calculator

Our handy Zakat calculator will help you to work out the exact amount of Zakat you owe. If you already know how much you need to pay, simply donate.

Remember, you must pay zakat on all gold, silver, savings, and property. Paying your Zakat through Human Appeal in Ramadan allows you to fulfil this sacred obligation of purifying your wealth, while reaping the multiplied blessings of the month of mercy.

What you need before you begin

To calculate your Zakat you'll need to know how much wealth you own – this includes cash, savings, and cryptocurrency – as well as the value of any jewellery and property that you own.

Calculate your Zakat and give mercy now.

Complete the simple form below to quickly calculate your zakat payment

Assets

Assets include money held in the bank, cash, property, jewellery or anything else of value. If any of the fields do not apply you can leave them blank.

£

Zakat is paid on any savings that you have had for one full year. Usually this means that you input the minimum that you have had in your account since you last calculated your Zakat one year ago. Include all your bank accounts, cryptocurrency, PayPal balance, and any money at home or in hand. Any interest you have received at the bank is haram and must not be included.

£

Most scholars are of the opinion that zakat should be paid on all gold and silver jewellery, whether it is worn or not.

£

Any property other than your home must be included for zakat purposes. If you are in the business of buying and then selling properties when they appreciate in value, zakat is due on the current resale value of these properties. However, If you are in the business of letting properties then zakat is due on savings made from this rental income only.

£

Zakat must be paid on the amount of your pension that you have contributed to in the last year but not on the portion paid by your employer.

£

If you don’t intend to sell the shares, then zakat is due on dividends you earn. However, if you are buying and selling shares, zakat is due on their current market value.

£
£

Add the total value of cash in tills and at the bank + stock for sale (current sale value) + raw materials (value at cost).

£

If you are owed any debts, and you believe the debt can be recovered at any time include its value here. If instead there is doubt about if you will recover the debt, do not include it here, but instead include it in the year you actually receive it, and pay zakat for all previous years that the debt was outstanding. If you have already received some of the debt, then zakat is due on this received amount.

Liabilities

Liabilities represent money that is owed to others. Here include any deductibles – any money that you owe immediately, such as your next mortgage payment, bills, etc.

£

Any unpaid rent, house payments, utility bills or money that you owe etc., that are due or overdue should be entered here.

£

Any unpaid rent, property payments, invoices, staff salaries or money that you owe etc., that are due or overdue should be entered here.

Zakat: your questions answered

  • How do I use the Zakat calculator?

    Enter your total eligible assets and deduct any short-term liabilities. Select whether you wish to use the gold or silver Nisab threshold, then submit the calculator to see whether Zakat is due and how much you should pay.

  • How much Zakat do I need to pay?

    Zakat is paid at a fixed rate of 2.5% on eligible wealth that exceeds the Nisab threshold and has been held for a full lunar year (hawl).

  • What is the Nisab threshold?

    The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth required before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is based on the value of 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver.

  • How often should I calculate my Zakat?

    Zakat should be calculated once every lunar year on the date your wealth first reached the Nisab threshold.

  • Do I need to pay Zakat every year if my wealth changes?

    Yes. Zakat must be recalculated each year based on your current assets and liabilities, even if your wealth has increased or decreased.

  • What assets are included when calculating Zakat?

    Zakatable assets include cash, savings, gold and silver, investments, shares, business inventory, and money owed to you. Personal items such as your home, car, and household goods are not Zakatable.

  • What debts can be deducted from Zakat?

    Short-term debts due within the next year, such as rent, bills, or loan repayments, may be deducted from your Zakatable assets.

  • Is Zakat the same as Zakat al-Fitr?

    No. Zakat is an annual obligation based on wealth, while Zakat al-Fitr is a fixed charity paid once every Ramadan before Eid.
