Zakat Calculator

Our own zakat calculator for Android. It works out the nisab from today's gold and silver prices in your currency, adds up what you own, deducts what you owe and shows exactly how much zakat is due, with a full breakdown you can save, share or export as a PDF. It runs in English and Urdu, needs no sign-up, and amounts never leave the phone.

What we built

  • Live nisab

    Gold and silver prices fetched for 20 currencies, including PKR, SAR, AED and GBP. Silver or gold nisab, the last prices kept for offline use, and a manual price per gram or tola for the local sarafa rate.

  • Gold in grams or tola

    Jewellery entered in grams or tola at 24k, 22k, 21k or 18k, or any purity, converted to pure gold automatically.

  • Every zakatable asset

    Cash, bank accounts, gold, silver, business stock, money owed, shares and funds, crypto and other assets, each with a running subtotal, minus the debts due this year.

  • Choices where scholars differ

    Silver or gold nisab, lunar or solar year, shares at full value or zakatable proportion, and how long-term debt is treated, with a Learn section that explains each one.

  • English and Urdu

    A full Urdu translation in Nastaliq with a right-to-left layout. The language can be switched at any time.

  • History and yearly reminder

    Each year's calculation saved with its Gregorian and Hijri date, PDF export, and a reminder on the user's zakat date every year.
