Zakat & Charity

Calculate your zakat with nisab tracking, wealth categories, and a transparent breakdown. Zakat is due on wealth held for one lunar year above the nisab threshold.

Nisab & currency

Nisab is the threshold above which zakat is due. Gold (87.48g) is often higher; silver (612.36g) is the more cautious option used by many scholars. Use current market prices to convert to your preferred currency.

Nisab threshold: $521 (update prices for your region)

Eligible assets

Enter amounts held for at least one lunar year (Hawl). Include gold jewelry only if its total value exceeds the nisab. Use current market value for investments and crypto. Only subtract debts due immediately (bills, short-term loans).

Bank accounts, wallets

Jewelry, coins (if zakatable)

Stocks, crypto, funds – current value

Goods intended for trade

Money owed to you, reasonably recoverable

Bills, short-term loans due now
