The problem we are solving
Many Zakat tools move from a few unexplained fields directly to a donation button. That can leave users uncertain about jewellery, investments, business assets, pensions, debt, jointly owned wealth, and the choice of Nisab.
We separate calculation from collection. The calculator does not route funds, recommend a beneficiary, or earn a percentage of payments. This keeps the product focused on a single job: helping you understand and document your calculation.
Our principles
- Private: calculator entries stay in your browser session.
- Inspectable: the weights, prices, formula, and result are visible.
- Honest about differences: disputed questions are labelled rather than flattened.
- Useful before impressive: plain steps take priority over decorative complexity.
Who writes the content?
The Zakat Estimator Editorial Team maintains the calculator explanations and guides using a documented research and review process. We do not invent scholarly consensus. Where schools or qualified contemporary scholars differ, the content tells you what facts to prepare for a qualified adviser.
Questions, accessibility requests, and correction notices can be sent to [email protected].
What we are not
We are not a mosque, charity, payment processor, tax adviser, or issuing scholarly authority. The site provides educational calculations and record-keeping support.
