Purification

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It means giving a share of your surplus wealth (usually 2.5%) to those eligible to receive it, provided your wealth has reached the minimum threshold (Nisab) and you have held it for a full lunar year (Hawl).

This calculator guides you step by step to work out your Zakat al-Maal (Zakat on wealth). It does not cover Zakat al-Fitr, which is a separate obligation linked to the month of Ramadan.

Zakat purifies your wealth and blesses what remains. It is the right of the poor over the wealth of those who have more.
