Scholarly note: the nisab may be calculated by reference to gold or silver. In earlier periods, the two measures were much closer in value; today, silver usually produces the lower threshold. This calculator therefore defaults to the silver nisab, following the view of scholars who regard the lower threshold as more cautious for the payer and more beneficial for the poor and other eligible recipients.

Zakah Guidance

Short explanations for the assumptions most people ask about while completing the calculator.

Need help?

What is nisab?

The minimum amount of zakatable wealth a person must own before zakah becomes due.

Why silver?

Silver is lower today, so it is selected as the more cautious threshold and more beneficial to eligible recipients.

What is hawl?

One complete lunar year from the time zakatable wealth first reached the nisab threshold.

Can debts be deducted?

Immediate liabilities due within the zakah period may be deducted from zakatable assets.

How is gold calculated?

Gold is valued by weight and karat purity using the current market value of pure gold.

Why are crops different?

Agricultural zakah uses harvest rules and irrigation rates rather than the standard 2.5% wealth rate.
