Zakat Wealth Purification & Nisab Threshold Guidelines
Zakat is an obligatory pillar of Islamic financial stewardship requiring the distribution of 2.5 percent of eligible surplus wealth held above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year.
Eligible assets include cash balances, gold, silver, tradable business inventory, and equities. Because your financial details are highly sensitive, this calculator operates 100% client side, ensuring your total net worth is never transmitted over the internet.

Zakat Due = (Total Eligible Assets — Short Term Deductible Liabilities) × 0.025
If your net zakatable wealth equals or exceeds the Nisab benchmark (historically equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver), exactly 2.5 percent of the total is due.

- Deduct Immediate Short Term Debts: Debts due for immediate repayment within the current month (like credit card balances or utility bills) can be subtracted from your total asset pool.
- Value Business Inventory at Wholesale Cost: Assess trade merchandise at its current realizable wholesale cost on your specific Zakat calculation date, not the retail price.
- Exclude Personal Use Items: Primary residences, personal vehicles, furniture, and personal clothing are generally exempt from calculations.
