What Is Zakat? A Brief Overview

Zakat (زكاة) is an obligatory form of charity in Islam. It literally means ‘purification’ and ‘growth.’ Muslims who own wealth above the Nisab threshold — and have held it for a full lunar year (Hawl) — are required to donate 2.5% of that wealth to eligible recipients.

Zakat is not just a financial transaction; it is an act of worship that purifies your wealth, reduces inequality, and brings blessings (Barakah) into your life and community.

Who Must Pay Zakat?

You are obligated to pay Zakat if you meet ALL of the following conditions:

You are a Muslim adult (Baligh) of sound mind.
You own wealth above the Nisab (minimum threshold).
One full lunar year (Hawl) has passed since your wealth reached Nisab.
Your wealth is in excess of your basic personal needs and debts.

Use our Nisab Calculator to instantly determine whether your total wealth meets the Nisab threshold this year.

Gold Zakat Calculator — Calculate Zakat on Gold Jewelry & Bullion

Gold is one of the most common assets on which Zakat is due. Our Gold Zakat Calculator makes it simple to calculate the exact Zakat amount owed on all forms of gold, including:

Gold jewelry (rings, necklaces, bangles, bracelets)
Gold coins and gold bullion bars
Gold in savings or investment accounts
Ornamental gold kept beyond personal use

Nisab for Gold

The Nisab for gold is 87.48 grams (7.5 tola). If you own gold — of any purity — equal to or exceeding this weight, and a full lunar year has passed, Zakat of 2.5% of the total gold value is due.

How to Calculate Gold Zakat

Enter the total weight of your gold in grams or tolas.
Select the gold purity (24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, etc.).
The calculator fetches the current gold price per gram automatically.
Your Zakat amount (2.5% of total gold value) is displayed instantly.

💡 Example: If you own 100g of 22K gold valued at ₹ 500000, your Zakat = ₹ 500000 × 2.5% = ₹12,500.

Silver Zakat Calculator — Calculate Zakat on Silver Assets

Silver holdings also attract Zakat, and many scholars recommend using the silver Nisab as the benchmark for Zakat eligibility due to its lower threshold — which includes more people. Our Silver Zakat Calculator helps you calculate Zakat on:

Silver jewellery and ornaments
Silver coins, bars, and bullion
Sterling silverware beyond daily personal use
Silver-backed investment accounts or ETFs

Nisab for Silver

The Nisab for silver is 612.36 grams (52.5 tola). This is significantly lower than gold Nisab, meaning more Muslims may be eligible when calculating against the silver standard.

Silver Nisab vs. Gold Nisab — Which to Use?

This is a topic of scholarly discussion. Most contemporary scholars recommend using the silver Nisab because it includes more people in the obligation of Zakat, thereby channelling more funds to those in need. Our Nisab Calculator compares both standards simultaneously so you can make an informed decision.

Nisab Calculator — Check Your Zakat Eligibility

Before calculating Zakat on any specific asset, it is essential to determine whether your total wealth meets the Nisab threshold. The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. Our Nisab Calculator provides:

Live gold and silver prices to calculate real-time Nisab values
Both gold-based Nisab (87.48g) and silver-based Nisab (612.36g) comparisons
Multi-currency support for Muslims around the world
A clear YES/NO eligibility result based on your total wealth input

Current Nisab Threshold

The Nisab value fluctuates with gold and silver market prices. Our calculator updates automatically to reflect the latest market data. Always check the current Nisab before completing your annual Zakat calculation.

What Business Assets Are Zakatable?

Cash in hand and business bank account balances

Salary Zakat Calculator — Zakat on Employment Income & Savings

Zakat on salary and employment income is an increasingly relevant topic for modern Muslims. While classical scholars focused primarily on accumulated wealth, contemporary scholars have provided rulings for salaried individuals. Our Salary Zakat Calculator helps you navigate two main scholarly approaches:

Approach 1 — Annual Savings Method (Majority View)

Under this approach, you calculate Zakat on whatever savings remain at the end of the lunar year — not your gross salary. Deduct all living expenses and debts, and if the remaining balance exceeds Nisab, pay 2.5% Zakat.

Approach 2 — Monthly Income Method (Contemporary View

Some contemporary scholars, particularly from Egypt and South-East Asia, allow Zakat to be calculated and paid monthly on gross salary before expenses. Our calculator supports both methods so you can follow the opinion of your local scholar.

What to Include in Salary Zakat

Monthly salary or wages
Freelance and consulting income
Rental income from properties
Savings and deposits accumulated from earnings
End-of-service gratuity and bonuses (when received)

Frequently Asked Questions About Zakat

Q1. What is the Zakat rate?

Ans. The standard Zakat rate is 2.5% (one-fortieth) of your total Zakatable wealth above the Nisab threshold. This rate applies to gold, silver, cash, business assets, and savings.

Q2. Is Zakat payable on pension funds?

Ans. Opinions differ. Many scholars hold that Zakat is due on pension funds you have access to and control over. If you cannot access the funds, Zakat may be deferred until withdrawal. Consult a scholar familiar with your pension type.

Q3. Do I pay Zakat on my primary home or car?

Ans. No. Personal-use assets such as your primary home, vehicle for personal use, clothing, and household furniture are not Zakatable. Only assets held for trade, investment, or savings purposes attract Zakat.

Q4. Is there Zakat on cryptocurrency?

Ans. Yes, according to the majority of contemporary scholars. Cryptocurrency is treated as a financial asset, and Zakat of 2.5% is due on its market value at your Hawl date if it exceeds Nisab.

Q5. Can I pay Zakat in instalments throughout the year?

Ans. Yes. You may pay Zakat in advance or in instalments, as long as the full amount due is paid. Paying early (Taqjeel) is permissible and even praiseworthy in circumstances of need.

Q6. What if I missed paying Zakat in previous years?

Ans. You must calculate and pay the missed Zakat as soon as possible. If records are unavailable, estimate your wealth honestly and pay accordingly. This is a religious debt that must be settled.

Q7. Which calculator should I start with?

Ans. Start with the Nisab Calculator to confirm your eligibility. Then use the relevant calculators — Gold, Silver, Business, or Salary — based on which assets you own.

Quranic & Hadith References on Zakat

Zakat is mentioned alongside Salah (prayer) in numerous Quranic verses, underscoring its fundamental importance in Islam:

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: ‘Islam is built on five pillars… giving Zakat.’ (Sahih Al-Bukhari, 8)
