How To Calculate Zakat?

Determine the Zakat due date, usually one lunar year after your wealth first reached the nisab

Add up all Zakatable assets you own on that date

Include cash, bank balances, gold, silver, business inventory, trade goods, investments, and receivables likely to be paid

Exclude personal items such as your home, car, clothes, and household goods

Subtract immediate debts and liabilities due at that time

Compare the remaining amount to the nisab threshold

If the remaining amount is equal to or above nisab, Zakat is due

Calculate 2.5% of the Zakatable amount

Pay that amount to eligible recipients of Zakat

Repeat the calculation every lunar year on the same Zakat date
