Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is a fundamental act of charity that Muslims are obligated to give. It is a form of wealth purification, where a portion of a Muslim’s savings—usually 2.5%—is given to those in need, provided their wealth exceeds a certain threshold, known as the “nisab.”

The purpose of Zakat is not only to support the less fortunate, but also to cleanse one’s wealth and to foster a sense of social responsibility and equality within the community.

Zakat is meant to help those who are struggling, including the poor, the orphans, the needy, and others in difficult circumstances. It encourages Muslims to share their blessings and wealth, creating a more just and compassionate society.

Our Zakaat calculator is a tool that helps you calculate the amount of Zakaat you are required to give based on yout wealth and assets. It considers various forms of wealth, such as cash, savings, gold, silver, investments, and business assets, while excluding debts and liabilities. The calculator works by determining if a person’s total wealth exceeds the minimum threshold (nisab) and then calculating 2.5% of the wealth that is eligible for Zakat.
