How Zakat Is Calculated

Zakat is an obligatory annual charity in Islam, due at 2.5% of a Muslim's qualifying wealth once it has been held for a full lunar year and exceeds the nisab (minimum threshold). Qualifying wealth includes cash, bank balances, gold and silver, business inventory, and investments — minus short-term debts due.

Zakatable Wealth = Cash + Gold/Silver + Investments + Receivables − Debts Due
Zakat Due = 2.5% × Zakatable Wealth, only if Zakatable Wealth ≥ Nisab

The Official 2026 Nisab Figure

This calculator defaults to Rs 503,529, the nisab value officially announced by the Government of Pakistan for Ramadan 2026 (Islamic year 1446-1447 AH), used for the annual compulsory Zakat deduction on Pakistani savings and profit-and-loss sharing bank accounts under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance 1980. This figure is based on the value of silver and is re-announced every year before Ramadan, so you can edit it if a newer figure has since been published, or if you calculate your own nisab using current gold or silver prices.

Gold vs. Silver Nisab

Islamic jurisprudence recognizes two nisab thresholds: 87.48 grams of gold, or 612.36 grams of silver. Since silver is worth less per gram than gold, the silver-based nisab is lower, making more people liable to pay Zakat — which is why Pakistan's official Zakat Ordinance uses the silver-based figure.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official Zakat nisab for 2026 in Pakistan?
The Government of Pakistan announced a nisab of Rs 503,529 for Ramadan 2026 (Islamic year 1446-1447 AH), based on the value of silver, for the compulsory Zakat deduction on eligible bank accounts.
What is the Zakat rate?
The standard Zakat rate is 2.5% (1/40th) of qualifying wealth held above the nisab threshold for a full lunar (Islamic) year.
What counts as zakatable wealth?
Cash, bank balances, gold, silver, business inventory, tradeable investments, and money owed to you that you expect to recover. Personal-use items like your home, car, and household goods are generally not zakatable.
Can I subtract my debts before calculating Zakat?
Yes. Short-term debts and liabilities due can generally be subtracted from your total assets before checking against the nisab and calculating Zakat, since Zakat applies to net wealth.
Why does the nisab change every year?
The nisab is based on the market value of silver (or gold), which fluctuates, so the Rupee amount is recalculated and re-announced by the government (and by scholars/Zakat calculators worldwide) before each Ramadan.
