What it does

Zakat on wealth is due once a year from a Muslim whose savings, after debts that are due, stay at or above the nisab for a full lunar year. The nisab is the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, and the zakat is 2.5% of the whole amount: cash, bank balances, gold and silver, investments, trade goods and money others owe you. This calculator adds your assets, subtracts your debts and compares the result with the nisab at today's price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the nisab?
The minimum wealth on which zakat is due: the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. With gold at 467 dirhams a gram, as in the UAE on 1 November 2026, the gold nisab is 39,695 dirhams.

Gold or silver nisab?
The silver nisab is much lower, so more people pay zakat with it, which many scholars prefer as better for the poor. Many official bodies, such as the UAE General Authority of Islamic Affairs, use the gold nisab. Follow the opinion of your scholar or local authority.

Why 2.577% for a Gregorian year?
The Gregorian year is about 11 days longer than the lunar year, so if you count your zakat year by the Gregorian calendar the rate is raised in proportion, from 2.5% to 2.577%.

How much zakat on 100,000?
If 100,000 stayed above the nisab for a full lunar year, the zakat is 2,500, or 2,577 if you count a Gregorian year.
