Zakat
Estimate Zakat al-Mal with live nisab prices and a private worksheet
Enter all monetary amounts in USD. Changing currency does not convert your entries.
Important Notes
- Zakat is due only on wealth held for one full lunar year (hawl).
- Only deduct debts due now or within the coming year (e.g. your next mortgage/loan payment) — NOT the entire outstanding balance of a long-term mortgage or student loan. Deducting a full long-term balance wrongly lowers your zakat.
- This estimate includes all gold and silver jewellery you enter, including items for personal use. This follows the Hanafi treatment; Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali views may exempt jewellery in regular personal use. We recommend confirming which treatment applies with a qualified scholar.
- Your primary residence, personal vehicle, and household items are NOT zakatable.
- Scholars differ on whether the gold or silver standard should be used for nisab. The silver standard results in a lower threshold, so more people pay zakat. For help choosing, we recommend asking your local scholar.
- This calculator helps you estimate zakat. For guidance specific to your situation, we recommend consulting a qualified scholar.
