Zakat on Cash Calculator
Find the zakat due on your cash: money in hand, bank savings and money lent to others. The calculator adds them up, checks the total against the silver nisab you enter, and applies the standard 2.5% rate.
This tool applies the standard 2.5% on cash held for one lunar year. It is a calculation aid, not a religious ruling — please consult a qualified scholar for your situation.
How to use
- Enter your cash in hand, bank savings and money lent to others.
- Enter the current silver nisab value in PKR (52.5 tolas of silver).
- Press Calculate Zakat to see your total cash, the zakat due and whether you are above the nisab.
Tips
- Immediate debts you must pay can be subtracted from your cash first; enter the net figures.
- Check the silver rate on the day you calculate, since the nisab moves with the market.
- Gold, trade goods and investments are not included here — use the dedicated zakat tools for those.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What counts as zakatable cash in this calculator?
Cash in your hand, money in bank savings or current accounts, and money you have lent to others that you expect to get back. All three are added together as your total zakatable cash.
Why does the calculator ask for a silver nisab value?
Zakat on cash applies only when your total reaches the nisab, which for cash is the value of 52.5 tolas (612.36 grams) of silver. Silver prices change, so you enter the current value yourself instead of the tool guessing it.
What happens if my total cash is below the nisab?
The calculator shows your total cash and tells you it is below the nisab, which means no zakat is due on it this year. It still shows what 2.5 percent would be for reference.
Is money lent to others included in zakat?
Yes, if you expect it to be repaid. Enter the amount others owe you in the receivables field and it is added to your zakatable cash before the 2.5 percent is calculated.
Is this calculator a religious ruling?
No. It applies the standard 2.5 percent calculation on cash held for one lunar year. For personal situations, debts, or mixed assets, please consult a qualified scholar.
