Calculate your annual Zakat obligation accurately using our comprehensive Zakat calculator. Based on authentic Zakat rules and Nisab calculator principles for gold, silver, cash, stocks, and cryptocurrency.
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and an obligatory form of charity for all eligible Muslims. It's a fixed proportion (2.5%) of a Muslim's total savings and wealth that is given to specific categories of people. Zakat purifies wealth and helps create a more equitable society where the basic needs of the less fortunate are met.
The Nisab calculator is essential for determining Zakat eligibility. The threshold is based on the value of 87.48 grams of gold (approximately 7.5 tolas) or 612.36 grams of silver (52.5 tolas). Most contemporary scholars recommend using the silver Nisab as it's lower, making Zakat applicable to more people and benefiting more recipients.
