What is Zakat and Why is it Important?

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, a sacred duty on every Muslim who meets the nisab (minimum wealth threshold). It is not just charity—it purifies your wealth and supports those in need. With changing times, people often ask: “How much zakat do I need to pay this year?” Our Zakat Calculator gives you a quick, clear, and Shariah-compliant answer.

How to Use the Zakat Calculator?

Using this zakat calculator is very simple. You just need to enter your assets like gold, silver, cash, savings, or investments. The calculator then applies the zakat rate (2.5%) if your wealth is above the nisab value.

• Gold and Silver: Enter the weight or market value.
• Cash and Savings: Add your bank balance, cash in hand, or business stock.
• Investments: Include shares or trade goods if they are for business.

The tool will instantly show the zakat amount you need to pay.

Nisab Value 2025 (English + Urdu)

The nisab is calculated based on either 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver.
Urdu:
نصاب سونے کے 85 گرام یا چاندی کے 595 گرام کی قیمت کے برابر ہوتا ہے۔ اگر آپ کی کل دولت اس سے زیادہ ہے تو زکوٰۃ واجب ہے۔

Paying Zakat with Intention

Remember, zakat is not just numbers—it’s an act of worship. When you calculate, make niyyah (intention) to purify your wealth and support the poor, orphans, widows, and those in hardship.

Tip: Always pay zakat before Ramadan ends so that your obligation is fulfilled in time.
