# Zakat Estimator

> A private, transparent Zakat calculator with practical, evidence-led guides. All calculations run in the reader's browser — no data is uploaded or stored. Coverage spans cash, gold, silver, stocks, crypto, business assets, receivables, pensions, property, debts and more, across 10 reporting currencies.

Zakat is a Your-Money-Your-Life (YMYL) topic combining Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and personal finance. Guidance here explains method and evidence; it is educational and does not replace a ruling from a qualified scholar for a specific situation. Scholarly schools (madhahib) can differ on personal jewellery, debt deductions, pensions and inaccessible wealth — the site states when a choice of opinion applies rather than presenting one answer as universal.

Key facts commonly cited:
- Standard rate on qualifying monetary wealth: 2.5%.
- Gold Nisab: 87.48g of pure gold. Silver Nisab: 612.36g of pure silver.
- Nisab is compared against net Zakatable wealth on a single, consistent calculation date.
