Zakat Calculator — Any World Currency
Zakat Calculator
Works in any world currency. Enter today’s metal prices in that same currency.
How Zakat is calculated
Zakat is 2.5% of the qualifying wealth you have owned for one full lunar year (hawl), provided that wealth is above the nisab threshold. The nisab is the value of 87.48 g of gold or 612.36 g of silver — most scholars and charities recommend the silver nisab because it is lower and therefore benefits more recipients.
How to use the calculator
- Select your currency from the full ISO list — every figure, including the nisab, is then shown in that currency.
- Enter today’s gold and silver price per gram in the same currency. Local jewellers and financial sites publish these daily.
- Fill in your assets: cash, bank balances, savings, gold and silver by weight, shares, funds, crypto, business stock and recoverable loans.
- Enter debts and bills that are due; they are deducted from the total.
- Read the three result boxes: net zakatable wealth, the nisab threshold and the Zakat due.
What is included and excluded
Included: cash, savings, investment assets, trade goods, and gold and silver in any form. Normally excluded: your home, personal car, furniture, clothing and tools of your trade. Rulings differ on jewellery in regular personal use — follow the position of the school you adhere to.
Note: this is an educational calculator. For complex wealth (pensions, mixed business assets, shares held for trading) consult a qualified scholar or your local Zakat authority.

What belongs in the arithmetic
The calculator totals the asset values you enter, subtracts eligible debts entered by the user and compares the result with a gold- or silver-based nisab derived from the prices you provide. It does not fetch live metal or exchange prices, so those inputs must be current and locally relevant.
What the calculator cannot decide
Questions about pension assets, business liabilities, jointly owned property, receivables, investment intention and which nisab basis to follow can depend on legal school and personal circumstances. The numerical result is therefore an estimate for review, not a religious ruling.
Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in my currency?
Enter your currency and today’s metal price per gram; the calculator multiplies 612.36 g (silver) or 87.48 g (gold) by that price and shows the threshold instantly.
Does the calculator convert currencies for me?
No, and this is deliberate: exchange rates change constantly. Enter every figure, including metal prices, in the single currency you have selected so the arithmetic remains internally consistent.
Is Zakat 2.5% of income or of savings?
Zakat is on accumulated qualifying wealth held for a lunar year, not on income. Income becomes zakatable once it has been held for the hawl period as part of your wealth.
