Calculate Your Zakat

Work Out Your Zakat in a Few Minutes

Working out Zakat is easier than most people think. The rules are simple. Add up the wealth that Zakat applies to. Take away the debts you are allowed to deduct. Check if the total is above the Nisab. If it is, you pay 2.5%. The hard part is usually knowing what goes where. This calculator takes you through it step by step.

Enter your cash, savings, gold, investments and business assets, and any debts you can take off. The calculator works out your Zakat using today's Nisab. When you have your amount, you can pay your Zakat through iHelp Global on this page.

NISAB THRESHOLD 2024/25

£6,055

Based on the value of silver. If your qualifying wealth exceeds this amount, Zakat becomes obligatory.

ZAKAT RATE

2.5%

Only 2.5% of eligible savings and assets is due annually after deducting liabilities.

Nisab of Zakat

The point where Zakat becomes due

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat is due. If your net Zakatable wealth is below the Nisab, you do not pay Zakat that year. If it is at or above the Nisab, and stays there for a full lunar year, you pay 2.5%.

The Nisab is measured in gold and silver: 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Gold and silver prices change every day, so the Nisab in pounds changes too. That is why this page shows today's value, not a fixed one. Many UK scholars and charities use the silver Nisab. It is the lower figure, so more people pay Zakat and more people receive it. Both are valid. This calculator uses silver unless you choose gold.

What Counts Towards Your Zakat?

Zakat is not 2.5% of everything you own. It applies to wealth that is money, or can easily be turned into money: cash at home and in the bank, savings, gold and silver, shares and other investments, business stock and business cash, and money people owe you. Your home, car, furniture, clothes and the tools you use for work do not count, whatever they are worth.
From that total you can take off debts due now or in the next year - bills, credit cards, this year's loan or mortgage payments, and short-term business debts. You do not usually take off the full amount of a long-term debt, and scholars have different views on mortgages. What is left is your net Zakatable wealth. That is the figure you check against the Nisab.

When Is Zakat Due?

For most types of wealth, Zakat is due once you have owned Nisab-level wealth for one full lunar year. This year is called the Hawl. It starts on the day your wealth first reaches the Nisab. Zakat is worked out on what you own on that same date one year later, not on an average across the year. Many Muslims pick a fixed Islamic date, often in Ramadan, and calculate on that date every year. Some types of wealth, such as farm produce, follow different rules.
Allah says in the Qur'an
"Establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you send ahead for yourselves, you will find it with Allah."

(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:110)

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is an act of worship, not just a good deed. Paying it on time and in full purifies the wealth you keep.
