Zakat Steward
Estimate Zakat for yourself, a business, or someone you are helping — using live gold and silver rates. Profiles stay in this browser. For personal guidance, consult a trusted scholar.
Precious metals
Enter the weight you consider zakatable under the scholarly guidance you follow. Rates use live market prices by purity.
Gold and silver are zakatable by weight at live purity rates. Enter only the portion you consider zakatable under the scholarly guidance you follow, including jewellery if that is your view.
Cash & liquid assets
Include balances and funds available to you on your Zakat date.
Include cash, bank balances, and funds you can access on your Zakat date. Money held for others is generally excluded.
Investments
For long-term holdings, enter the zakatable portion where known; for trading shares, use their current value.
For trading shares, use current market value. For long-term holdings, enter only the zakatable portion according to the guidance you follow.
Business assets
Enter the current value of resale inventory and other zakatable business assets.
Business Zakat is typically due on resale inventory and zakatable receivables, not on fixtures, machinery, or premises used in the trade.
Property & valuables
Personal-use property and precious stones are not included in zakatable wealth unless held for trade. Rental property itself is generally excluded; include zakatable income above.
A home, car, or gemstone for personal use is generally not zakatable. Mark land or stones only when they are held for trade.
Liabilities & debts
Subtract debts and loan payments due within your current Zakat year, according to the guidance you follow.
Subtract debts and instalments due in the current Zakat year. Long-term balances not currently due are often treated differently — follow the scholar you trust.
Pause for intention
Zakat is an act of worship. Take a brief moment to intend this calculation for the sake of Allah, then continue to the estimate. You may skip this pause.
“Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase.” — Qur’an 9:103
Who Zakat is for — the eight categories
Qur’an 9:60 names eight asnaf. This is a reminder of the obligation’s purpose, not a ruling on where you should give.
- The poor (fuqara) — those with little or no wealth.
- The needy (masakin) — those whose means do not cover their needs.
- Zakat workers — those appointed to collect and distribute Zakat.
- Those whose hearts are to be reconciled
- Those in bondage — historically, freeing people from bondage.
- Those in debt (gharimin)
- In the path of Allah
- The stranded traveller
