- Enter cash and bank balances, gold and silver in grams, investments, business stock and money owed to you.
- Subtract debts you owe now.
- Choose whether the nisab is based on silver (612.36 g) or gold (87.48 g), and enter the price per gram.
- See your total wealth, the amount after debts, the nisab and the zakat due, or a clear message that no zakat is due.
Khums
Khums is one fifth (20%) of what is left of your yearly income after your yearly expenses.
- Enter your income and profit for the year, and your expenses (living, family, debts paid).
- See the surplus, the khums due, and the split into Sahm-e-Imam and Sahm-e-Sadat (half each).
- A reminder to pay to your marja's office or authorised representative and to ask them about anything specific, such as gifts, jewellery or business assets.
Fitra
Fitra (zakat al-fitr) is paid for each person you support, before the Eid prayer: about one sa' (around 3 kg) of a staple food, or its price. Scholars differ on the exact amount, so you can change it.
- Enter the number of people, the amount per person and the price per kg of your staple (wheat, rice or dates).
- See the total amount and the fitra due.
A guide, not a ruling
The calculators help you work the figures out. For your own situation, ask a scholar you follow. Sunni users see Zakat and Fitra, and Shia users see Khums and Fitra.
