Estimate zakat on your wealth in US dollars. Your numbers stay in this page, with no account, subscription, or saved financial profile.

An educational estimate for common monetary assets. Confirm your nisab method, eligible assets, deductible debts, lunar-year condition, and recipients with a qualified imam. This tool does not issue a religious ruling or collect payment.

01 Choose your nisab

Nisab is the wealth threshold used for zakat. Follow the gold or silver method recommended by your imam. Enter current USD prices yourself; no live price is assumed.

The selected metal’s price is required to calculate nisab. A metal’s price is also needed when valuing your holdings by weight. Prices must be for pure metal, in USD per gram.

02 Add your eligible wealth

Use values on your zakat assessment date. Blank optional amounts count as zero. Count each asset once, and include only the zakatable portion recommended for your circumstances.

Investments, retirement plans, receivables, business assets, and personal jewelry have specific rules. This tool does not decide which portion is eligible. Exclude ordinary personal-use belongings unless your adviser says otherwise.

Gold holdings

Convert your holding to pure-gold weight first: for example, 20g of 18-karat gold contains 15g of pure gold. A jeweler can confirm purity.

Silver holdings

03 Deductions & timing

Deduct only liabilities permitted by the method you follow. Ask your imam which debts and due period apply. Do not automatically deduct an entire long-term mortgage or loan.

Leaving this unchecked shows a conditional amount, without treating your obligation as confirmed. Some assets and circumstances follow different rules.

UNDERSTAND YOUR ESTIMATE

A starting point for
an informed conversation.

Why are there gold and silver options?

Recognized guidance uses gold and silver benchmarks, with differing weight conventions. The selected convention here defaults to 85g of pure gold or 595g of pure silver; an alternate 87.48g / 612.36g option is available. Ask your imam which benchmark to follow.

Is this a final ruling on my zakat?

No. This estimates common cash and monetary holdings using your own eligibility decisions. Agricultural produce, livestock, minerals, complex businesses, debts, retirement assets, and changing wealth may require a different assessment. Personal jewelry treatment also differs. Consult a qualified adviser.

Where does the method come from?

The annual 2.5% approach and lunar-year condition are described in Islamic Relief UK’s zakat guidance ↗. See Islamic Relief Australia’s explanation of nisab and weight conventions ↗ and the National Zakat Foundation’s metal valuation guidance ↗. No price from those pages is imported into this calculator.
