How is zakat calculated?
- Your cash, gold, silver, trade goods and the receivables you expect to collect are added up.
- Your debts are deducted from this total; what remains is your net wealth.
- The nisab is the current value of 80.18 grams of gold or 561.2 grams of silver. Either may be used; the silver nisab is lower, so it includes more people and favors the poor.
- If your net wealth exceeds the nisab, zakat is due at one fortieth, i.e. 2.5%.
Good to know
- One lunar year (hawl) must have passed over the wealth.
- The home you live in, the car you use, household goods and the tools of your trade are not subject to zakat.
- According to the Hanafi school, gold jewelry worn by women is subject to zakat.
- Zakat is given to the poor, the needy, debtors, stranded travelers and the other groups listed in verse 60 of Surah at-Tawbah; it is not given to one's parents, grandparents, children or grandchildren.
This calculator is a guide and does not replace a fatwa. If your situation is special (partnerships, rental income, installment debt, company assets, etc.), consult a religious scholar or Diyanet's fatwa line (Alo 190, Türkiye).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nisab for zakat?
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth at which zakat becomes obligatory: assets worth 80.18 grams of gold or 561 grams of silver. A person who still holds this much after deducting basic needs and debts, and has held it for one lunar year, pays zakat.
What is the zakat rate?
The zakat rate on gold, silver, cash and trade goods is one fortieth, that is, two and a half percent. The calculator shows one fortieth of the amount that remains after your debts are deducted.
Which assets are subject to zakat?
Gold, silver, cash, trade goods, receivables and certain livestock are subject to zakat. The home you live in, the car you use, household goods and the tools you use in your profession count as basic needs and are not subject to zakat.
Who should I give zakat to?
The Quran names eight groups who may receive zakat: the poor, the needy, those who collect zakat, those whose hearts are to be won over to Islam, slaves, debtors, those in the way of Allah and stranded travellers. Zakat is not given to one’s mother, father, children or spouse.
