How Zakat Is Calculated in India (2026)

Zakat is calculated by totalling all your zakatable assets, subtracting eligible short-term liabilities, and applying a 2.5% rate to the remaining net amount — provided it meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold. This Zakat Calculator India tool automates the entire process in INR using current gold and silver rates.

What Assets Are Included in Zakat?

The following types of wealth are generally considered zakatable:

  • Cash in hand — physical currency you hold at home or on your person
  • Bank savings & current accounts — total balance held across all accounts
  • Gold & silver — including bars, coins, and personal jewellery (scholarly opinions differ)
  • Salary savings — any portion of your salary saved over the lunar year
  • Business inventory — stock-in-trade and goods held for sale
  • Investments — shares, mutual funds, accessible provident fund amounts

Deductible Liabilities

You may deduct debts that are due and payable within the current lunar year:

  • Short-term personal debts owed to others
  • Bills and dues payable imminently
  • Rent or utility arrears currently due
⚠️ Important: Long-term EMIs — home loans, car loans, and education loans — are generally not deductible from Zakat assets. Only immediate, short-term obligations qualify.

The 2.5% Zakat Rate Explained

The standard Zakat rate is 2.5% of net zakatable wealth. For every ₹1,00,000 of net zakatable assets, the Zakat due is ₹2,500.

Example: Total assets ₹3,00,000 − liabilities ₹20,000 = net ₹2,80,000. Zakat = 2.5% × ₹2,80,000 = ₹7,000.

Nisab Threshold for India (2026)

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold above which Zakat becomes obligatory. Two widely used measures apply:

  • Gold Nisab: 87.48 grams of gold — calculated at current Indian gold rates per gram
  • Silver Nisab: 612.36 grams of silver — calculated at current Indian silver rates per gram

The silver Nisab tends to be lower in INR value, making Zakat applicable to a wider group. The choice is a matter of scholarly guidance; our calculator supports both options.

Does this calculator include salary savings?
Yes. Any savings from your salary held for one lunar year can be entered under Cash in Hand or Bank Savings to be included in your Zakat calculation.
Which Nisab should I use — gold or silver?
Both are widely accepted. The silver Nisab is typically lower in INR value, meaning more people meet the threshold. For guidance specific to your school of jurisprudence, consult a qualified Islamic scholar. Our calculator supports both.
Is gold jewellery subject to Zakat?

Can I deduct my home loan EMIs from Zakat?
Generally, only short-term debts due within the current lunar year are deductible. Long-term loans such as home or car EMIs are typically not deducted from zakatable assets. Please consult a qualified Islamic scholar for a ruling specific to your circumstances.
