Hawl — the One-Year Condition
Zakat normally becomes due after one lunar year (hawl) of ownership. For continuously growing income, consult qualified scholars.

Zakat Calculator
Compute your exact zakat across cash, gold, silver, business, and investments — and give the 2.5% directly to the fund once nisab is exceeded.
Where Your Zakat Goes
Every taka of the zakat fund is spent exclusively on zakat-eligible students' free education, housing, and meals — never on administration. All spending is ledgered by category.

Fiqh Guidance
Know Before You Calculate
Basis of Nisab
The Hanafi school uses the silver nisab (612.36 g) — our default as it benefits the poor more. You may switch to the gold nisab (87.48 g).
Use the Current Market Rate
Gold and silver prices change daily — verify with the day's actual rate. Defaults are approximate (12,000/g gold, 150/g silver).
An Aid, Not a Fatwa
This calculator covers common cases. For complex situations (inventory, shares, crops, debts), verify with our fiqh board.
