What is Zakat?
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — an obligatory annual charity of 2.5% of qualifying wealth held for one lunar year (Hawl). It is due from every adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold.
Gold or Silver Nisab?
Both are valid. The silver Nisab is lower, which means more Muslims qualify to pay Zakat — and more recipients benefit. The majority of UK scholars recommend silver for this reason. Gold Nisab is also accepted.
What's Not Counted
Your home, personal car, clothing, furniture and tools of trade are exempt. Locked workplace pensions you cannot access are generally excluded. Buy-to-let property itself is exempt — only saved rent counts.
This is a Guide
Zakat rules can be nuanced — particularly around pensions, business assets and shared property. For complex estates, consult your local Imam or a UK Sharia-qualified scholar. This calculator follows mainstream UK fiqh.
