Zakat on Savings Calculator
Calculate conditional zakat from eligible savings, approved deductions, your selected nisab and a confirmed assessment convention.
Calculate zakat using an entered savings balance on a confirmed assessment anniversary. Combine the eligible balances from your accounts and identify deductible liabilities before using this worksheet. The calculation assesses a single anniversary valuation; it cannot establish a qualifying history from one balance.
How to use this tool
- Enter all eligible values in one currency, without counting an asset twice.
- Select a monetary nisab or a supported metal-weight standard and enter its applicable price per gram.
- State whether the required haul and ownership conditions are confirmed.
- Choose 2.5% for a lunar-year assessment, or enter a rate approved for your accounting convention.
Formula
Net base = max(0, eligible assets − approved deductible liabilities). If net base ≥ nisab, conditional zakat = net base × rate / 100; otherwise it is zero.
The full qualifying base is assessed, not merely the amount above nisab. A metal-derived threshold is grams × your entered price. Prices and defaults are examples; no current quotation or exchange rate is supplied.
Example
An eligible anniversary balance of 10,000, no deductible liabilities and a selected nisab of 8,500 gives a conditional lunar-rate amount of 250. If the entered balance is only 8,000, it is below that selected threshold and this assessment returns zero.
Frequently asked questions
Which nisab should I select?
Follow the authority and asset rules relevant to you. Gold weights of 85 g, 86 g and 87.48 g, and silver weights of 595 g and 612.36 g, represent different published conventions; they are not interchangeable defaults.
Does a positive result mean zakat is now due?
Only if all applicable conditions are met. Unconfirmed or incomplete haul leaves the displayed amount conditional. This worksheet does not reconstruct ownership or balance history.
Does this use my lowest yearly balance?
No. This implements an anniversary-balance assessment. MUIS describes a different lowest-balance method; users following that method need its historical assessment.
