Frequently asked questions

What is Nisab?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is traditionally measured as 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, valued at today's market price.

How is Zakat calculated?

Zakat is calculated as 2.5% of your total net Zakatable wealth — cash, gold, silver, investments and business assets, minus immediate debts and liabilities — provided that wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year.

Should I use the gold or silver Nisab?

Silver Nisab is lower in value, so using it as your threshold means more people qualify to pay Zakat, which many scholars consider the more cautious and generous option. Gold Nisab sets a higher bar.

Does this calculator store my financial data?

Your figures are saved only in your own browser's local storage for convenience, so you can return later. Nothing is transmitted to any server other than the public price feeds used to fetch live gold, silver and currency rates.

How to Use the Global Zakat Calculator

A simple guide to help you calculate your Zakat in just a few minutes — no Islamic finance background needed.

What This Global Zakat Calculator Tool Does

This calculator works out how much Zakat you owe this year. It looks at live gold and silver prices, checks if your wealth has crossed the minimum threshold (called Nisab), and then works out 2.5% of what you actually owe.

You don’t need to look up gold rates yourself or do any maths — the tool fetches today’s prices automatically and does the calculation for you.

Features at a Glance Global Zakat Calculator

Live prices, always up to date

The calculator pulls today’s gold and silver prices automatically, so you’re never working with outdated numbers. If one price source is down, it quietly switches to a backup source — you’ll never see an error.

Works in your own currency

Whether you use Rupees, Dirhams, Pounds, Naira, or any of 170+ other currencies, just pick yours from the dropdown and everything updates instantly.

Knows roughly where you are

The tool tries to detect your location and sets your currency automatically. You can always change it manually if it gets it wrong.

Remembers your numbers

Once you calculate your Zakat, your entries are saved on your own device. Come back later and your figures will still be there — you don’t have to type everything again.

Works even with a shaky internet connection

If live prices can’t be fetched for a moment, the calculator uses the last prices it saved and tells you it’s showing cached data, instead of just breaking.

Download your summary

Once you’ve calculated your Zakat, you can print it, save it as a PDF, or download it as a plain text file — handy for your own records or to share with family.

Step-by-Step: How to Calculate Your Zakat by Global Zakat Calculator

Step 1: Check the live prices at the top

When the page loads, look at the price bar near the top. It shows:

– Today’s 24K gold price

– Today’s silver price

– The gold Nisab value (based on 85 grams of gold)

– The silver Nisab value (based on 595 grams of silver)

A small dot next to “Live data” at the top right tells you the prices are current. If it says “cached” or “offline,” your numbers are still based on the last successful update — just refresh later if you want the freshest price.

Step 2: Pick your currency

Find the “Your currency” dropdown near the top of the form. The tool usually picks this automatically based on your location, but feel free to change it if you want your results in a different currency.

Step 3: Choose your Nisab basis

Right next to the currency selector, you’ll see “Nisab basis” with two choices:

 

– Silver — a lower threshold, meaning more people qualify to pay Zakat. Many scholars recommend this as the safer, more generous option.

– Gold — a higher threshold.

If you’re not sure which to pick, silver is the commonly recommended default.

Step 4: Fill in your cash and bank balances

Enter:

Cash in hand — physical money you’re holding

Bank accounts & savings — total balance across your accounts

You don’t need exact-to-the-decimal numbers — a close estimate is fine.

Step 5: Enter your gold and silver

If you own gold or silver jewelry, coins, or bars, weigh them in grams and enter the totals. The calculator automatically works out their value using today’s live price — you don’t need to know the price yourself.

Step 6: Add your investments and business assets

If any of these apply to you, fill them in:

Stocks, shares, or crypto — enter their current market value

Business inventory or trade goods — what your stock would sell for today

Money owed to you — only include amounts you genuinely expect to recover

Leave any field blank or at zero if it doesn’t apply.

Step 7: Subtract what you owe

In the Liabilities section, enter:

Debts due immediately — anything you must pay back right away

Bills & other dues — outstanding bills or obligations

These get subtracted from your total assets, since Zakat is only owed on wealth that’s genuinely yours to keep.

Step 8: Click “Calculate Zakat”

Once everything is filled in, click the **Calculate Zakat** button. Your results will appear just below the form, showing:

– Whether you’re above or below Nisab

– Your total Zakat-able assets

– Your total liabilities deducted

– Your net Zakatable wealth

– The Nisab threshold you’re being measured against

– The final Zakat amount payable (2.5% of your net wealth)

If your wealth is below the Nisab threshold, the tool will clearly tell you Zakat isn’t due this year — no payment required.

Step 9: Save, print, or download your result

Once you have your result:

Your entries are also automatically saved on your device, so if you close the page and come back later, your numbers will still be there.

A Few Things Worth Knowing

Zakat applies once a year. The standard rule is that your wealth needs to stay above Nisab for one full lunar year before Zakat becomes due on it. This calculator shows you the maths for today’s snapshot — when exactly your Zakat year falls is something to track separately if you don’t already know your date.

Round numbers are fine. You’re not expected to track every rupee or dollar to the cent — a reasonably accurate estimate of your wealth is enough.

Your data stays with you. Nothing you type is sent to any server except the public requests used to fetch live gold, silver, and currency rates. Your financial details are saved only in your own browser.

If something doesn’t load, try clicking the small refresh icon (⟳) next to the price bar. If prices still won’t load, the calculator will fall back to the most recent prices it has saved.
