Use our easy tool to determine how much Zakat you owe based on your assets, savings, gold, investments and debts. The calculator uses the current Silver Nisab to ensure maximum benefit reaches those most in need.
Zakat is more than a financial obligation — it is a powerful act of compassion that restores dignity, relieves hardship, and strengthens communities. Through your Zakat, families struggling with poverty receive food, clean water, shelter, and vital support that helps them rebuild their lives with hope and stability.

By choosing to give your Zakat through The Raza Foundation, you ensure that your contribution reaches those who need it most, creating real and lasting change.
Your Zakat directly supports vulnerable families across Pakistan and beyond, providing emergency relief, sustainable development projects, and essential resources for those facing hardship.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they become eligible to pay Zakat. It ensures that only those with sufficient means contribute, while protecting those who are struggling financially.
The Nisab is calculated based on the value of gold or silver. Traditionally, it equals:
87.48 grams of gold
612.36 grams of silver
Because the value of silver is lower than gold, using the silver Nisab allows more people in need to benefit from Zakat contributions. For this reason, we use the Silver Nisab threshold to maximise support for vulnerable communities.
Use our simple Zakat calculator to determine how much you need to give. Enter your assets and liabilities below to instantly calculate your Zakat based on the Silver Nisab, ensuring maximum benefit for those most in need. Zakat is calculated at 2.5% of eligible wealth held over one lunar year.
Zakat becomes obligatory if your wealth exceeds this threshold and has been held for one lunar year.








Zakat is not a voluntary charity but rather, it is an obligation upon every sane Muslim. By giving Zakat, a Muslim is acknowledging that everything we have belongs to Allah and we do not really own it, and we should use it to remember Allah and help those who are in need. It is also an act to help free us from excessive desire and greed, learn self-discipline and self-control.
You should record the Islamic calendar date on which you first became the owner of Nisaab – if, on the same date the following lunar year, you are still the owner of Nisaab, you will be obliged to pay Zakat within the next year. Many Muslims choose to give their during Ramadan as the rewards for good deeds performed in Ramadan are greater than in any other month.
Assets to include in your Zakat calculation are cash (in hand, in bank accounts or money lent to someone), shares, pensions, gold and silver. Personal items such as your home, furniture, cars, food or clothing are not included in Nisaab.
While it is permissible to use either gold or silver to calculate Nisaab, many scholars recommend using silver as more people paying Zakat means more of the poor and needy benefit.
Zakat can be paid in instalments throughout the year as long as you pay the full amount by the end of the lunar year. This can work well if you have a steady income, and can predict how much you will earn in the 12 month period. Most of our Zakat applicable projects have monthly payment options.
