Zakat FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about Zakat Al-Mal and how this calculator works.
Zakat al-Mal is the obligatory annual charity that Muslims must pay on eligible wealth once it reaches the nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year.
Any adult Muslim who owns wealth above the nisab amount for one full lunar year must pay 2.5% of that wealth.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is usually calculated based on the live values of silver (most scholars today recommend using the silver value as it benefits more people in need).
You pay 2.5% (1/40th) of your total eligible wealth after deducting short-term debts.

No, personal items used for daily living (home, car, clothes, furniture) are not subject to Zakat.
Zakat is not paid on income itself, but on savings that remain after one lunar year and exceed nisab.
Yes, short-term debts due within the year can be deducted from your total wealth before calculating Zakat.
Once your wealth reaches nisab, you start your lunar year. After one Hijri year passes, Zakat becomes due. Many Muslims choose Ramadan for spiritual reward, but it can be paid anytime once due.
Zakat must be distributed to one of the eight eligible categories mentioned in the Qur’an (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60), including the poor, needy, those in debt, and others specified.
Zakat al-Fitr is a compulsory charity given before Eid al-Fitr prayer to purify the fast and support those in need.
Every Muslim who has more food than they need for the day of Eid must pay it — on behalf of themselves and their dependents (including children).
It equals approximately one “saa” of staple food (about 2.5–3kg of rice, wheat, dates, etc.). Many organisations set a monetary equivalent each year.
It must be paid before Eid prayer. It can be given during Ramadan, preferably in the last few days.
Most contemporary scholars allow paying the cash equivalent if it benefits recipients more.
If paid after Eid prayer without valid reason, it is considered regular charity (sadaqah), not Zakat al-Fitr.
