Salary Zakat Calculator

Estimate Zakat on accumulated savings and eligible assets retained from salary—not on gross salary as a single amount.

Salary itself is not automatically multiplied by 2.5%. Enter the accumulated eligible wealth you actually own.

Currency and Nisab

Choose one currency and enter the price or threshold required by your selected basis.

Currency

All monetary amounts must be entered in the selected currency. Changing currency does not convert values.

Nisab basis

Select the basis you intend to use. No option is presented as universally preferred.

Accumulated savings and eligible assets

Blank optional amounts are treated as zero. Use one consistent currency.

Cash savings from salary

USD

Accumulated cash savings still owned at the calculation date.

Bank savings

USD

Accumulated eligible savings held in bank accounts.

Other eligible cash balances

USD

Other accumulated cash balances you consider eligible.

Eligible short-term investments

USD

Investments you include under the methodology you follow.

Other Zakatable assets

USD

Other accumulated eligible assets, excluding gross salary itself.

Eligible short-term liabilities

USD

Enter only short-term liabilities you consider deductible under the guidance you follow.

Hawl status

Hawl applicability depends on your circumstances and how the eligible wealth is tracked.

What is commonly included

Accumulated cash savings
Eligible bank savings
Other eligible cash balances
Eligible short-term investments
Other Zakatable assets

Gross salary automatically multiplied by 2.5%

Worked example

Accumulated savings: $12,000.00
Eligible investments: $3,000.00
Other eligible assets: $1,000.00
Eligible short-term liabilities: $2,000.00
Net Zakatable amount: $14,000.00
Estimated Zakat at 2.5%: $350.00

Gross salary is not used directly. This example assumes Hawl is complete and the selected Nisab threshold is no more than the net amount.
