Zakat is the third pillar of Islam: an annual duty owed by every Muslim whose wealth reaches a minimum threshold, the Nisab, and stays there for a full lunar year (hawl). The Nisab is defined by weight — 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver — and priced in your currency at today's metal prices, which is why a good calculator fetches live prices instead of printing a fixed table. Most scholars recommend the silver threshold for cash and mixed wealth, because it brings more wealth into the duty and benefits more of the poor whom Zakat exists to serve.
The calculation itself follows a stable order. Gather everything zakatable that you own: cash and bank balances, gold and silver in any form, business stock and money owed to you, investments and crypto at market value. Deduct the debts that are due now. If the net total reaches the Nisab, the charge is 2.5% — one-fortieth — of the whole net amount, not just of the excess. Two kinds of wealth follow different rules and have their own tools on this site: farm produce, charged ushr of 10% when rain-fed and 5% when irrigated at cost, at harvest time; and livestock, charged by the classical band tables once grazing animals pass their thresholds. Personal possessions — your home, car and furniture — are exempt.
Payment completes the duty. Zakat must reach people in the eight categories named in the Quran (9:60) — beginning with the poor and the needy — and ownership must genuinely pass to them. Pay on your own hawl anniversary; many Muslims deliberately align or move payment into Ramadan for its multiplied reward, which is permitted, while Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) is a separate duty owed for every household member before the Eid prayer. Every calculator on ZakatSuite shows its working and produces a PDF record, so the figure you pay can be checked by you, your family or your scholar, this year and next.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the sighting of the moon, and Eid al-Fitr is expected on 9–10 March 2027. The last ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027; Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights — 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — with the 27th night beginning at Maghrib on 5 March. ZakatSuite's Ramadan section brings together the countdown, full 30-day Sehri and Iftar timetables for 144 cities worldwide, and a library of practical guides covering fasting rules, Fidya, Kaffarah, Taraweeh, Itikaf and Zakat al-Fitr, so the month can be planned well before the first fast.
The blog series written for Ramadan 2027 answers the questions the month actually raises: the confirmed-date picture and how moon sighting works, a beginner's walkthrough of the fast, what does and does not break it, who is exempt and what they owe instead, and deep guides to Fidya, Kaffarah, Taraweeh, Laylat al-Qadr and Itikaf. Each guide ends with the calculator or timetable that turns the ruling into your own numbers.
Every tool on ZakatSuite works in 195 countries, with the Nisab converted into the local currency at live gold and silver prices. Country pages add the local picture: the Nisab in your currency today, how Zakat is commonly paid where you live, Ramadan 2027 dates and timetable links, and worked examples in local money. Start from your country below, or pick any of the 195 from the country tools category.
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam: an obligatory annual charity of 2.5% (one-fortieth) of a Muslim's net zakatable wealth that has reached the Nisab threshold and been held for one full lunar year (hawl). It purifies wealth and is distributed to the categories named in the Quran (9:60).
The Nisab is the minimum wealth that makes Zakat obligatory. It equals the value of 87.48 grams of gold (about 7.5 tola) or 612.36 grams of silver (about 52.5 tola). Many scholars recommend the silver Nisab for cash and mixed wealth because it benefits more recipients.
For money, gold, silver, trade goods and most financial assets the rate is 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after deducting debts that are due. Agricultural produce is 10% if rain-fed and 5% if artificially irrigated (ushr).
Zakat is charged on wealth, not on income itself. Salary you have saved and still own when your hawl completes is zakatable at 2.5% together with your other assets; money already spent is not.
The majority of scholars require Zakat at 2.5% of the market value of gold you own, including jewellery, once it reaches the Nisab (87.48g of pure gold). Some schools exempt jewellery in ordinary personal use, so check the position of your madhab.
