How Zakat Works

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam — a yearly obligation to purify your wealth and support those in need.

01

Determine Your Net Wealth

Add up all your zakatable assets — cash, gold, silver, investments, and business goods — then subtract any debts due within 12 months.

02

Check Against the Nisab

The nisab is the minimum wealth threshold. If your net wealth exceeds this amount for one full lunar year, zakat becomes obligatory.

03

Pay 2.5% of Eligible Wealth

Once eligible, you owe exactly 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth. Distribute it to those entitled to receive zakat.
