How to Calculate Zakat in India — 5 Simple Steps

Follow these five steps to calculate your Zakat correctly. Our calculators automate every step — just enter your values.

1
Check the Nisab Threshold

Find today’s silver Nisab (~₹1,74,522) or gold Nisab (~₹14,39,152) for India using current market rates. Your wealth must exceed this to be liable.

2
List All Zakatable Assets

Add up cash savings, gold, silver, mutual funds, stocks, business stock, receivables, and all other accessible wealth you own.

3
Deduct Your Liabilities

Subtract immediate debts, loans due within the year, and essential short-term expenses from your total assets.

4
Verify the Hawl (1 Lunar Year)

Confirm your net wealth has remained above Nisab for a full lunar year (~354 days). This is your personal Zakat anniversary date.

5
Pay 2.5% Zakat

Multiply your total zakatable wealth by 2.5%. Pay this amount to eligible recipients — use our Zakat Calculator India to get the exact figure.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Zakat in India

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — a mandatory annual act of charity amounting to 2.5% of one’s qualifying wealth. Every adult Muslim who (1) owns wealth above the Nisab threshold AND (2) has held that wealth for a full lunar year (Hawl) is obligated to pay Zakat. In India, the silver Nisab threshold is approximately ₹1,74,522 (March 2026). Children and those below the Nisab threshold are not required to pay Zakat. Use our Zakat eligibility guide to confirm if you qualify.
As of March 2026, the Nisab thresholds in India are: Silver Nisab: ~₹1,74,522 (based on 612.36g of silver at ₹285/g) and Gold Nisab: ~₹14,39,152 (based on 87.48g of gold at ₹16,451/g). Most scholars recommend using the silver Nisab as it is the lower threshold, enabling more Muslims to fulfil the Zakat obligation. These values change daily — always use our Nisab Calculator India for the most current figures before calculating.
If ₹1,00,000 is your only asset and it is below the silver Nisab (~₹1,74,522 in March 2026), no Zakat is due. However, if ₹1 lakh is part of a larger wealth portfolio that exceeds the Nisab, then your Zakat on that ₹1,00,000 component is 2.5% = ₹2,500. Use our Zakat Calculator India to include all your assets and get the accurate total Zakat obligation.
Yes. According to the majority of Islamic scholars (Hanafi, Shafi’i, and Maliki schools), Zakat is payable on all gold including jewellery, if your total gold exceeds 87.48 grams (the gold Nisab). You pay 2.5% on the current market value of all gold owned. This is the widely held position among Indian Islamic scholars. Use our Gold Zakat Calculator India to calculate your exact obligation using current Indian gold rates for 22K and 24K.
For a salaried person, Zakat is calculated on net savings — not gross income. Follow these steps: (1) Add all savings, bank deposits, gold, silver, and investments. (2) Subtract essential monthly expenses and debts due within the year. (3) If the remaining amount exceeds the Nisab and has been held for one lunar year, pay 2.5% as Zakat. Use our dedicated Salary Zakat Calculator for a guided, step-by-step calculation in INR.
Yes. Zakat is generally applicable on equity mutual funds and stocks. For stocks held as investments: pay 2.5% on the current market value if held for one lunar year. For equity mutual funds: pay 2.5% on the current NAV value. Some scholars advise calculating Zakat on the zakatable portion of the underlying company’s assets. Consult a qualified Islamic scholar for your specific portfolio. Use our Zakat Calculator India to include investment assets in your total calculation.
PPF (Public Provident Fund): Many scholars say Zakat applies only on the withdrawable portion in the current year, as most of the balance is locked. NPS (National Pension System): A similar principle applies — Zakat may be due only on the accessible portion. LIC Insurance: Conventional insurance premiums are generally not zakatable, but the surrender value may be. These are complex areas — always consult a qualified Islamic scholar familiar with Indian financial instruments for a ruling specific to your situation.
Most contemporary scholars recommend using the silver Nisab (~₹1,74,522 in March 2026) as it is the lower threshold, enabling more Muslims to give Zakat and benefit those in need. Use the gold Nisab (~₹14,39,152) only if your assets consist primarily of gold. For mixed wealth (cash, gold, silver, investments), the silver Nisab is the more cautious and commonly recommended approach. Use our Nisab Calculator India to compare both thresholds.
Zakat becomes due after one full lunar year (Hawl) has passed since your wealth first exceeded the Nisab — this personal anniversary is your Zakat due date. Many Muslims prefer paying during Ramadan for the spiritual reward, and paying in advance is completely permissible. You should not delay Zakat past your Hawl completion date without valid reason. If unsure of your Zakat date, estimate conservatively and pay during Ramadan.
ZakatCalc.in uses India-specific Nisab thresholds in INR based on current Indian gold and silver market prices. Our methodology follows standard Islamic finance principles — the 2.5% rate, correct Nisab weights (87.48g gold / 612.36g silver), and proper asset classification. However, all calculators are educational tools. For complex financial situations involving business partnerships, unusual investments, or significant debts, always consult a qualified Islamic scholar for a personalised ruling.
Formally calculate and pay Zakat once per lunar year on your personal Hawl date. If your financial situation changes significantly (major salary change, large purchase, inheritance, or loss), review your calculation informally. Gold and silver prices in India change daily, so always use current market rates — do not rely on figures from a previous year. Use our Zakat Calculator India each year for accurate results.
