Zakat calculator

Add up what you have held for a full lunar year. If the total reaches the nisab, zakat is 2.5%.

What you own

Maliki: no zakat on jewellery worn lawfully. The Hanafi school requires it.

Maliki notes

  • Gold and silver complete each other: their values are added to reach the nisab (Malikis and Hanafis).
  • A regular trader (mudir) values stock every year at market price; someone who buys to resell occasionally (muhtakir) pays only on sale, for a single year.
  • Jewellery a woman wears lawfully is not subject to zakat; hoarded jewellery is.
  • Crops and livestock have their own rules and thresholds; they are not covered here.

Zakat al-fitr

Due before the Eid prayer (Korité) for each person you support, children included.
