Work out your Zakat. This free Zakat calculator totals your zakatable assets minus debts, compares them to the gold or silver nisab, and applies the 2.5% rate when you’re at or above the threshold.
This tool helps you estimate Zakat as 2.5% of net zakatable wealth held for a lunar year, when it’s at or above the nisab. It is a calculation aid, not religious or financial advice — rules on what’s zakatable and how nisab is set can vary by school of thought, so consult a qualified scholar for your situation.

Zakat is generally 2.5% of net zakatable wealth that has been held for one lunar (hijri) year, payable when that wealth is at or above the nisab. Nisab is the value of 87.48 g of gold or 612.36 g of silver; the silver standard gives a lower threshold, so more people qualify.
Use this free Zakat calculator to estimate your Zakat. Add your zakatable assets, subtract debts due, and it works out 2.5% if your wealth is at or above the nisab.
What this Zakat calculator does
A Zakat calculator totals your net zakatable wealth — cash, gold and silver, investments and money owed to you, minus debts due — and applies the 2.5% rate when that wealth meets the nisab.
How Zakat is calculated
net wealth = zakatable assets − debts due
nisab = 87.48 g gold OR 612.36 g silver (× price)
Zakat = 2.5% of net wealth, if net ≥ nisab
So net zakatable wealth of $9,500, above the nisab, gives Zakat of $237.50 (2.5%).
