Get help using DailyNisab calculators, understanding Zakat, Nisab, and Islamic finance.
Getting Started
1. Understanding Zakat
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is an obligatory charity that Muslims must pay on their wealth if it reaches the Nisab threshold. Zakat is typically 2.5% of one's wealth above the Nisab.
2. What is Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they are obligated to pay Zakat. For gold, the Nisab is 87.48 grams (approximately 3 ounces), and for silver, it is 612.36 grams (approximately 21 ounces).
3. Using Our Calculators
Select the type of asset you want to calculate Zakat for (Gold, Silver, Livestock, Grains, Money, or Business). Enter the amount you own, and our calculator will determine if you owe Zakat and how much.
