About this tool
Zakat calculation depends on knowing which assets count, what can be deducted, and whether your net wealth meets the Nisab threshold - and getting any of these wrong affects a religious obligation, not just a number on a screen. This Zakat calculator free online totals your cash, gold, silver, investments, and business assets, subtracts your debts, and applies the standard 2.5% rate once your net wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab figure you enter.
Nisab isn't looked up automatically - gold and silver prices change daily and vary by country, so you research and enter your own figure.
This Zakat calculator totals your cash, gold, silver, investments, and business assets, subtracts your debts, and checks the result against a Nisab threshold you enter - calculating 2.5% Zakat only once your net wealth meets or exceeds that threshold. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you enter is sent to a server.

Common Workflows
Look Up Your Nisab Figure First
Before using the calculator, find today's local gold or silver price and work out your Nisab in your currency - the tool references about 87.5g of gold or 612.4g of silver, but doesn't calculate this for you.
Enter Your Assets
Add Cash & Savings, Gold Price per Gram and Amount, Silver Price per Gram and Amount, Investments, and Business Assets - each field accepts a plain number in your selected currency.
Enter Your Debts
Add your Outstanding Debts - the calculator subtracts this figure in full from your total assets before checking Nisab.
Check the Nisab Result
If your net wealth is below the Nisab figure you entered, the calculator states that Zakat isn't due rather than showing a partial amount.
Review Your Total Wealth and Zakat Due
Once Nisab is met, the calculator shows your net Total Wealth and the 2.5% Zakat Due figure together.
Best For
- Totals cash, gold, silver, investments, and business assets, subtracts your debts, and applies the standard 2.5% rate once your net wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold you enter.
- You enter your own Nisab figure rather than relying on a fixed built-in value - the tool references a standard gold/silver equivalent but doesn't fetch live metal prices.
- Calculated entirely in your browser - your assets, debts, and Nisab figure are never sent to a server.
Examples
Calculate Zakat after a Nisab check
Input
Cash & Savings 9,500, Nisab Threshold 5,000 (entered by user), all other fields 0Result
Total Wealth 9500.00, Zakat Due 237.50Zakat Due is 2.5% of Total Wealth (assets minus debts), calculated only because Total Wealth (9500) meets the entered Nisab threshold (5000) - a lower asset total or a higher Nisab entry could mean no Zakat is due at all.
Use Cases
Totaling cash, gold, silver, and investment assets
Enter each asset type separately to get a combined Total Wealth figure before the Nisab check.
Deducting outstanding debts before calculating Zakat
Enter your debts in the Outstanding Debts field to see Zakat calculated on your net wealth, not your gross assets.
Checking whether your wealth meets the Nisab threshold
Enter your own researched Nisab figure to see a clear message if your net wealth doesn't meet it, rather than an incorrect Zakat amount.
Common Mistakes
Problem
Leaving the Nisab field blank or at zero
Solution
The calculator requires a positive Nisab value before it will calculate anything - it shows "Please enter a valid Nisab threshold" rather than assuming a default.
Problem
Expecting the tool to look up today's gold or silver price
Solution
There's no live price data - you need to find the current local gold or silver price yourself and work out your Nisab figure before entering it.
Problem
Assuming the tool checks how long you've held your wealth
Solution
This calculator doesn't ask about acquisition date or track a lunar year (Hawl) - it calculates Zakat on the asset and debt figures you enter at the moment you calculate, regardless of how long you've held them.
Problem
Expecting jewellery to be treated differently from other gold
Solution
Gold is entered as a single price-per-gram and gram amount - the calculator doesn't distinguish gold held as jewellery for personal use from gold held as an investment.
Problem
Not re-entering Nisab after switching currency
Solution
Changing the currency clears both the Nisab field and any previous result, since Nisab is currency-specific - enter your Nisab again in the new currency before recalculating.
Tips & Best Practices
Research your Nisab figure before you start
Look up today's local gold or silver price, calculate the value of about 87.5g of gold or 612.4g of silver in your currency, and enter that as your Nisab threshold.
Enter gold and silver as price-per-gram plus grams
Rather than entering a lump gold value, enter the current price per gram and the number of grams you hold - the calculator multiplies them for you.
Confirm your specific situation with a qualified scholar
This calculator handles the arithmetic - the Nisab standard you use, how jewellery is treated, and debt-deduction specifics can vary by school of thought, so confirm anything you're unsure about with a qualified scholar.
Treat each calculation as a same-day snapshot
Since Nisab resets when you change currency, and gold and silver prices move daily, re-check your figures if you return to the calculator on a different day.
Limitations
Nisab must be entered manually
The calculator doesn't calculate, fetch, or verify a live Nisab value - it references about 87.5g of gold or 612.4g of silver, but you must look up current prices and enter the resulting figure yourself.
No Hawl (holding-period) check
The calculator doesn't ask when you acquired your wealth or track a lunar year - it calculates Zakat on whatever asset and debt figures you enter at the time, without verifying the Hawl condition.
No jewellery-specific treatment
Gold and silver are entered as a single price-per-gram and gram amount regardless of purpose - there's no separate handling for jewellery held for personal use versus gold held as an investment.
All entered debt is deducted in full
The Outstanding Debts field subtracts the full amount entered - there's no distinction between short-term debt due within the year and longer-term debt where typically only the current year's installment is deductible.
Single flat 2.5% rate
The calculator applies a fixed 2.5% rate - there's no option for an alternate rate some scholars apply for Gregorian-year, as opposed to lunar-year, calculations.
Not a substitute for scholarly guidance
This is a neutral calculation tool, not a religious authority - it doesn't verify your inputs or specific situation against any school of thought.
Currency selector doesn't convert values
Selecting a different currency changes the label shown next to each figure and clears the Nisab field - it doesn't convert previously entered amounts between currencies.
Comparisons
Total Wealth vs. Zakat Due: What Each Figure Depends On
Both figures come from the same inputs, but only one of them appears if your wealth doesn't meet the Nisab threshold you entered.
| Total Wealth | Zakat Due | |
|---|---|---|
| What it shows | All entered assets combined, minus your entered debts | 2.5% of Total Wealth - shown only if Total Wealth meets or exceeds your entered Nisab |
| Always shown? | Yes, whenever the calculation runs successfully | No - if Total Wealth is below your Nisab figure, the calculator states Zakat isn't due instead |
| Depends on Nisab? | No - Total Wealth is independent of the Nisab figure | Yes - Zakat Due only appears once Total Wealth clears the Nisab threshold you entered |
Which should you use?
Total Wealth is a straightforward sum of your entries; Zakat Due depends on that sum clearing the Nisab figure you researched and entered yourself.
