Ramadan Zakat Calculator

Designed by the faculty of Islamic law at Zaytuna College

Calculate Zakat Zaytuna.edu

This Zakat Calculator has been designed in consultation with the faculty of Islamic law at Zaytuna College. It calculates your zakat based on the legal school of your choice: Hanafi, Maliki, or Shafi’i.1

To begin, pick a nisab standard that you prefer to use (gold or silver)2 as well as your preferred legal school. After that, enter the monetary value of your assets below to determine whether you have reached nisab or not; if nisab is reached, the calculator will determine how much zakat you owe.

We respect your privacy and neither collect nor save any personal financial information entered in this calculator.

As of May 9, 2024, the the gold standard (about 85 g of gold) is approximately $6,414 and the silver standard (about 595 g of silver) is approximately $543.

If you don’t follow a particular legal school, any of these choices is a viable option.

If you have not maintained nisab for the past 12 months, you do not owe zakat unless you follow the Hanafi school. In the Hanafi school, zakat is owed if the nisab is reached at the beginning and end of the 12–month period, even if one’s wealth dips below nisab in between those periods.

According to many scholars, institutions such as Zaytuna College meet the requirements for zakat eligibility. However, we have chosen to limit the zakat funds only to the total cost of education for zakat eligible students and not for any other institutional expenditures. We take this sacred trust very seriously, so if you choose to give a portion of your zakat to Zaytuna College, we will do our utmost, God willing, to ensure its most judicious and shariah compliant use.
