Frequently Asked Questions
Zakat is paid at a rate of 2.5% on your net zakatable wealth, provided that wealth has been held for one full lunar year (hawl) and exceeds the nisab threshold. Zakatable wealth typically includes cash, gold and silver, shares and other investments, business inventory and money owed to you, less debts that are due.
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must hold before zakat becomes obligatory. It is set as the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Many people use the gold nisab; using silver gives a lower threshold and so is more inclusive. This calculator uses the gold nisab, based on the price per gram you enter.
You do not pay zakat on your monthly salary as income, nor on your primary residence, personal car or belongings. Zakat is on accumulated wealth held for the year, so it is the savings, gold, investments and business assets you still hold at your zakat date that count, not everything that passed through your hands.
Zakat is due once your wealth has been above the nisab for one lunar (Hijri) year. Many people fix a memorable date, such as a day in Ramadan, and calculate their net wealth on that date each year. If your wealth dipped below the nisab during the year but is above it on your zakat date, most scholars still consider it due.
