How to Calculate Your Zakat

Zakat on wealth is due from anyone who has owned the threshold amount for a full lunar year. The threshold equals the value of 85 grams of gold, and the rate is a quarter of a tenth, that is 2.5% of what you hold. The calculation includes cash, gold, silver, trade goods and recoverable debts, minus debts currently due. The zakat calculator on this site performs that arithmetic; questions about your particular circumstances belong to a qualified scholar.
