Understanding Zakat Calculation
What is Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess for one lunar year before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. We use the gold-based Nisab in this calculator.
Zakat Rate
The Zakat rate is 2.5% (or 1/40) of the total qualifying wealth. This applies to cash, savings, gold, silver, and business assets that have been held for one full lunar year.
What Assets Are Subject to Zakat?
- Cash in hand and bank accounts
- Savings and investments
- Gold and silver (including jewelry in some interpretations)
- Business inventory and trade goods
- Money lent to others (if recoverable)
