## Quick Answer

Calculate your annual Zakat obligation. Input your cash, investments, gold, and other eligible assets, subtract liabilities, and compare against the Nisab threshold to determine Zakat due.

## Definition

A Zakat calculator is an Islamic financial tool designed to calculate an individual's annual Zakat obligation, which is traditionally 2.5% of their net zakatatable wealth. It aggregates liquid assets (cash, gold, silver, investments, and business inventory) and subtracts short-term liabilities (outstanding bills and immediate debts) to determine net wealth. If the net wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold (a minimum wealth level based on the price of gold or silver), Zakat is due on the entire amount.

## How to Use

1. **Input cash and bank accounts** — Enter the total amount of cash savings and bank balances you hold.
2. **Add gold, silver, and investments** — Input the values of precious metals, stock portfolios, cryptocurrency, and business inventory.
3. **Deduct short-term liabilities** — Subtract bills, tax liabilities, and immediate debts due within the year.
4. **Compare with Nisab** — Set the current Nisab threshold. The calculator will automatically apply the 2.5% rate if your net wealth exceeds this limit.
