Your country selects the currency. Use one currency for every amount; changing it clears your entries.

Nisab basis

Nisab is the wealth threshold. Choose the silver or gold standard you follow, or enter a custom nisab.

Automatic or manual price

World spot is an international quote converted with daily exchange rates; it is not a country’s local market price. Local market uses a price you enter. Nepal starts with Local market and offers a dated reference for the selected metal. Wealth amounts stay in this page.

Price unit

Select how your metal price is quoted: for one tola or for one gram. Enter that rate; both equivalents appear below. Changing the unit converts an existing valid rate and keeps your wealth entries.

Metal price

For Nepal, use the local fine-metal price per tola or gram. A dated reference can fill the field on its stated Nepal date; update it if needed. World spot is a separate international estimate. Enter a price, not the weight you own.

A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Your Zakat questions, answered.

Read about nisab, timing, calculation and recipients with Qur’an and hadith references.

This is a general estimate for zakat on wealth. Jewellery, investments, pensions, debts and other assets may need specific scholarly guidance.

How is the estimate calculated?

Net wealth = zakatable assets minus eligible deductions (minimum zero). If it meets your selected nisab and your zakat date has arrived, the estimate is 2.5% of the full net amount, not just the amount above nisab.

Which nisab should I use?

This calculator uses 612.36 g of pure silver (about 52.5 tola) or 87.48 g of pure gold (about 7.5 tola). Choose your basis, or enter a custom nisab for a different standard.

What should I include?

Include cash, savings and other zakatable assets at their current value. Use the zakatable portion of jewellery, investments and business stock under the guidance you follow. Exclude your personal home, car and everyday belongings.

When is my Zakat due?

For this wealth calculator, confirm that your Zakat due date has arrived and the lunar-year requirement has been fulfilled. Choose the date and guidance that apply to your circumstances.

UNDERSTAND YOUR ZAKAT

Zakat in the Qur’an and Sunnah

Understand the obligation, nisab, due date, calculation and eligible recipients—all here on this page.

1. What is Zakat?

Zakat is an obligatory act of worship involving qualifying wealth. It supports eligible people and is distinct from optional sadaqah. Its obligation depends on the rules that apply to the owner and the wealth.

Qur’anAl-Baqarah 2:43

وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ

Allah commands prayer and the giving of Zakat.

Qur’anAt-Tawbah 9:103

خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِمْ بِهَا

Giving from wealth is described as a means of purification.

The Prophet ﷺ included Zakat among Islam’s five pillars.

Sahih al-Bukhari 8Sahih

The instruction to Mu‘adh describes Zakat being collected from the wealthy and given to the poor.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1395Sahih

2. Nisab: the wealth threshold

Nisab is the minimum qualifying level of wealth. Monetary wealth is compared with a chosen gold or silver standard. Use one consistent standard under the scholarly guidance you follow.

The hadith identifies five uqiyyahs as the silver threshold.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1405Sahih

This narration mentions twenty dinars for gold and two hundred dirhams for silver.

Sunan Abi Dawud 1573Sahih, graded by Al-Albani

This page uses 612.36 g of pure silver (about 52.5 tola) or 87.48 g of pure gold (about 7.5 tola). These are modern weight conversions; other authorities use different standards. Select gram or tola to match your price quote. This page converts using 1 tola ≈ 11.6638 g; the original gram thresholds determine the calculation. For another standard, enter a custom nisab. Use the automatic world spot estimate or enter a verified local pure-metal price manually.

3. Hawl: when is Zakat due?

For the monetary wealth covered here, a lunar year is generally required after qualifying ownership at nisab. Keep a Hijri Zakat date. The treatment of changing balances, new income and business profit depends on the guidance you follow; each new deposit need not automatically have its own date.

The narration connects Zakat on gold and silver with the passing of a year.

Sunan Abi Dawud 1573Sahih, graded by Al-Albani

Tick the due-date box only when the lunar-year condition that applies to you is fulfilled. Meeting nisab alone does not complete this page’s estimate.

4. What wealth should you include?

Assess assets on your Zakat date and enter monetary values in the same currency. The table explains this page’s fields. These modern categories require fiqh application; the same asset must be counted only once.

Cash & savings

Add the cash and bank balances you own. Enter the total monetary amount, and do not include the same balance twice.

Gold

Enter the current monetary value of your zakatable gold, not its weight. Follow your chosen guidance for jewellery.

Silver

Enter the current monetary value of your zakatable silver, not its weight. Follow your chosen guidance for jewellery.

Business stock

Enter the zakatable value of goods held for resale. Use the guidance you follow for your business assets.

Investments

Enter only the zakatable portion of your investments under the guidance you follow. Avoid counting assets already entered elsewhere.

Money owed to you

Enter collectable amounts owed to you. If repayment is uncertain, seek guidance before including them.

Your home, personal car and everyday belongings are generally excluded from this wealth calculation. An asset held for sale is treated differently from one kept for personal use. Jewellery, shares, pensions and rental income need the assessment method you follow.

Debts and deductions

Schools of fiqh differ on whether and how debts reduce zakatable wealth. Enter only the amount deductible under your chosen guidance, such as qualifying liabilities due now. Do not automatically subtract an entire mortgage or long-term loan. This calculator cannot decide a debt’s eligibility.

5. How does the 2.5% calculation work?

Add the zakatable assets and subtract eligible deductions, with a minimum net value of zero. When that net amount meets your chosen nisab and your due date has arrived, calculate 2.5% of the full net amount. The amount above nisab is not the calculation base.

The silver rate stated in the hadith is one-fortieth, equivalent to 2.5%.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1454Sahih
Net zakatable wealth × 2.5% = estimated Zakat

Worked example

For assets of NPR 100,000 and eligible deductions of NPR 10,000, net wealth is NPR 90,000. If your selected nisab is met and the due date has arrived, the estimate is NPR 2,250. These example amounts are not today’s nisab or market price.

100,000 − 10,000 = 90,000 NPR
90,000 × 2.5% = 2,250 NPR

6. Who can receive Zakat?

Qur’anAt-Tawbah 9:60

إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ فَرِيضَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Surah At-Tawbah identifies eight categories. Eligibility and distribution should be checked under the relevant scholarly rules.

  1. The poor (fuqara)
  2. The needy (masakin)
  3. Those appointed to administer Zakat
  4. Those whose hearts are to be reconciled
  5. Freeing people from bondage
  6. Eligible people burdened by debt
  7. For Allah’s cause (fi sabilillah)
  8. The stranded traveller (ibn al-sabil)

Giving through an organization requires the funds to reach eligible uses and recipients. A charitable project is not automatically Zakat-eligible. Ask how your Zakat will be allocated and identify the transfer as “Zakat”.

7. Intention, payment and dignity

The hadith on intention teaches that actions are judged by intentions. Make a clear intention when giving Zakat.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1Sahih
Qur’anAl-Baqarah 2:264 · 2:267

The Qur’an teaches giving from good wealth and avoiding reminders of generosity or hurtful treatment of recipients.

Check the recipient’s eligibility, pay with the intention of Zakat and keep a record of the amount and date. When using the HRN bank accounts below, include your name and “Zakat” in the reference; the team can assist with transfer arrangements.

8. Zakat on wealth and Zakat-ul-Fitr

Zakat-ul-Fitr is a separate, per-person obligation associated with the end of Ramadan. The hadith mentions one sa‘ of dates or barley and payment before the Eid prayer. It is not calculated as 2.5% of wealth.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1503Sahih

Follow local scholarly guidance for food measures or any permitted monetary equivalent. This page calculates Zakat on monetary wealth; it does not calculate Zakat-ul-Fitr.

9. Use this calculator correctly

  1. Choose country, currency and nisab basis. Use the local pure-metal market price for your valuation. Nepal starts in Local market mode with a clearly dated reference that expires automatically. World spot is a separate international estimate. Gram and tola equivalents appear together.
  2. Add the current monetary value of the qualifying assets and eligible deductions. A metal’s weight belongs in your own valuation, not in the asset amount field.
  3. Confirm your Zakat due date if applicable, then press Calculate Zakat. Review the summary and use the “i” beside each field for a short explanation.

Cases that need a separate assessment

Agricultural produce, livestock and other specialist categories have their own rules and may have different rates or timing. Minors’ wealth, disputed ownership, uncertain debts and complex investments also require the appropriate fiqh assessment. Do not apply this page’s 2.5% result to every type of asset.

References used in this guide

Verse numbers and hadith collection numbers are shown beside each explanation. The Abu Dawud narration is labelled with Al-Albani’s grading. Numbering may differ between editions.
