Confused about Zakat?

We are sharing with you a rough guideline and a Zakat calculator to assist you

You add the value of:

  • your annual cash savings
  • your annual bank savings
  • the money owed to you
  • the value of the gold you possess
  • the value of the silver you possess
  • the value of your personal assets

You deduct the value of:

  • the money you owe to others
  • the annual taxes you need to pay
  • the annual bills you need to pay
  • the liabilities (for a business)

Zakat corresponds to 2.5% of your annual savings. This means that these savings have not been touched for a year. They need to be above the nisab of silver, which corresponds to 595 gr. On 01/10/2023, the value of 1 gr of silver corresponds to £0.59. So the nisab corresponds to £351.05.

Scholars advise that Zakat should be calculated based on the savings of a full year of the hijri calendar.

We advise you to ask your scholar or mufti for further guidance regarding your personal circumstances, family business, etc …
