ZAKAT CALCULATOR

Calculate Your Zakat - Quick & Easy To Donate Zakat Foundation Using the Zakat calculator

Enter all assets that have been in your possession over a lunar year into the Zakat calculator. This will then give you the total amount of Zakat owed.

Zakat calculator: Simplifying your Zakat calculation

Calculating your Zakat isn’t as difficult as you may think. We find that breaking your assets down into different categories makes the Zakat calculation process really simple.

We have broken down the calculation process into Zakatable assets (gold, silver, cash, savings, business assets, etc.) and Deductible liabilities (money you owe, other outgoings due) so you can calculate the Zakat you owe easily.

The amount of Zakat you need to pay will be determined once you have calculated the value of your net assets. You then need to see whether your net assets are equal to, or exceed, the Nisab threshold.

Zakat Scholar: Providing specialist advice

We understand that calculating your Zakat can be daunting, and even confusing. Therefore, we work with a dedicated Zakat scholar during Ramadan to provide a specialized advice service. This service allows you to speak directly to a learned scholar via email or telephone.

Please note: the Zakat scholar is only available during Ramadan from 3 to 8pm (Monday to Friday only). The scholar can therefore only call back during these time periods.

What is Nisab?

The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they become eligible to pay Zakat. This amount is often referred to as the nisab threshold.

Gold and silver are the two values used to calculate the nisab threshold. Therefore the nisab is the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver.

Zakat is the third Pillar of Islam and is one of the most important and commendable acts that any adult Muslim could hope to perform. The word Zakat itself has the meaning of purification and increase. Allah has made it obligatory on every sane, adult Muslim who has complete ownership of the nisab (see below) to help those less fortunate, as is mentioned in the Qur’anic verse below:

Take [O Prophet (saw)] from their wealth a charity in order to cleanse and purify them..

The Noble Qur'an 9:103

At Muslim Hands, most of our projects are Zakat eligible, and with your generosity, we will work to assist those who are most in need. Calculating the exact amount of Zakat owed can be a difficult task, especially when you come to consider any assets such as property and/or business shares. At Muslim Hands, we offer our Zakat calculator to help; simply input all your assets and it will automatically calculate the amount owed.In order to qualify to pay Zakat, you must first meet the minimum Zakat nisab (threshold). Your expendable wealth should be at least the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver, and your wealth should have remained above the nisab value for one Islamic (lunar) year, referred to as Hawl. Many Muslims opt to pay their Zakat during the Blessed Month of Ramadan, but Zakat can be paid at any time of the year.
