About this tool
Zakat is due at 2.5% on wealth held for one lunar year above the nisab: the value of 612.36 g (52.5 tola) of silver or 87.48 g (7.5 tola) of gold. The silver nisab is selected by default because many scholars recommend it as the more cautious option. Your home, car and personal belongings are not included. Please confirm rulings for your situation with a trusted scholar.
