Zakat Calculator

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims to donate 2.5% of their qualifying wealth annually to those in need. The calculation involves determining your total assets — including cash savings, gold, silver, business inventory, investments, and receivable debts — then subtracting any outstanding debts to arrive at your net zakatable wealth. If this amount exceeds the Nisab threshold (the minimum wealth level, traditionally equivalent to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver), you are obligated to pay Zakat. Our calculator handles all of this automatically: enter your assets across multiple categories, choose your preferred Nisab standard (gold or silver), and instantly see your Zakat obligation. The tool supports multiple currencies and updates gold/silver values in real time. All calculations happen entirely in your browser — your financial data is never transmitted to any server, ensuring complete privacy for this deeply personal religious obligation.

This Zakat calculator uses pure JavaScript arithmetic to compute your obligation based on established Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) guidelines. When you enter asset values across categories like cash, gold, silver, stocks, business goods, and property held for sale, the tool sums them and subtracts liabilities to determine net zakatable wealth. It then compares this against the Nisab threshold — calculated using live gold or silver prices fetched from a public commodity API (no personal data is sent, only a rate request). If your wealth meets or exceeds Nisab, the calculator applies the standard 2.5% rate. The tool also breaks down your Zakat by asset category so you can see exactly how each contributes. Everything runs locally using the Web Crypto API for any necessary computations, with localStorage used only if you choose to save your entries for future reference. Your financial details never leave your device.
