Zakat Calculator UK

Zakat is the third of the Five Pillars of Islam, and it acts as a form of almsgiving and religious tax. Muslims must possess a certain level of wealth to be eligible for Zakat, and this is otherwise known as the Nisab threshold. Those with wealth that exceeds the Nisab threshold give Zakat to redistribute wealth among the global Muslim community (Ummah). Not only does this ensure that the less fortunate are taken care of, but it also purifies the giver’s wealth and helps reduce inequality.

The Zakat Percentage - How much Zakat are you supposed to pay?

The standard percentage for Zakat is 2.5% of a person’s savings and wealth. When their wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold, the percentage is applied to their total amount of qualifying assets.

How is Zakat Calculated?

The main categories of wealth that Zakat is calculated on include the following:

• Cash, bank savings, and other liquid assets
• Gold and silver
• Stocks and investments
• Business goods and assets
• Agricultural produce and livestock

The calculation process is as follows:

• Determine the Nisab value: The Nisab is equivalent to the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Convert this amount to your local currency.
• Calculate your total qualifying assets.
• Subtract any debts or liabilities.
• If your remaining wealth is above the Nisab threshold, multiply it by 2.5% to determine your Zakat obligation.

How to Calculate Zakat on Salary

• Calculate your annual savings from your salary.
• Include any other savings and qualifying assets.
• Subtract your expenses, debts, and liabilities.
• If the remaining amount exceeds the Nisab threshold, multiply it by 2.5% to find your Zakat payment amount.
