From savings and gold to shares and crypto, here is a clear, practical way to think about your annual Zakat.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, an annual act of purification through giving. Yet modern wealth, from digital savings to investment portfolios, can make the calculation feel complicated. It need not be.
The core principle
Zakat is due at 2.5% on qualifying wealth you have held for one lunar year, provided your net zakatable wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold (based on the value of gold or silver).
What counts
Cash and savings, gold and silver, business inventory and receivables, and the zakatable portion of shares and investments are generally included. Personal-use items like your home and car are not.
Zakat is not a tax on what you own; it is a right the community holds in your wealth.
Our free Zakat Calculator walks you through each category and applies the current Nisab automatically, so you can give with confidence. Once calculated, you can fulfil your Zakat directly or direct it to a specific initiative.
