Zakat Calculator
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — an obligation, not a favour. If your wealth has stayed above the nisab threshold for a full lunar year, 2.5% of it belongs to those the Quran names as its rightful recipients.
Use the calculator below to work out what you owe. The gold and silver prices it uses are checked by the institute, and the date they were last confirmed is shown so you can judge for yourself how current they are.
Zakat is due at 2.5% once your qualifying wealth has stayed above the nisab for a full lunar year. We use the silver standard, so nisab is currently Rs 465,638.54 — the value of 612.36 grams of silver.
Gold and silver prices last checked by the institute on 21 August 2026.
This is a guide, not a ruling. Zakat has details this form cannot cover — a lunar year of ownership, jewellery in regular use, unpaid long-term debt. If your situation is complicated, ask a scholar. We are glad to help.
Where your Zakat goes
Zakat given to Al-Irshad is recorded separately from general donations, so it can only be spent on Zakat-eligible causes: supporting students who cannot afford to study, and direct relief for families in need.
Every gift is checked by hand against our bank or wallet statement before it counts towards any figure we publish.
