Shariah principles used

  • Nisab may be measured by 85 grams of pure gold or 595 grams of silver.
  • Zakat is generally 2.5% of net zakatable wealth after a completed lunar year; 2.5775% is a commonly used equivalent for a full solar year.
  • Cash, good receivables, trade inventory and many investments are generally zakatable.
  • A primary home, normal personal car, clothing and ordinary personal effects are generally excluded.
  • Jewellery, shares, funds, pensions, debt deductions and mixed investments can differ by scholarly method.
  • Zakat must reach eligible Shariah recipients; general charitable giving is not automatically Zakat.

UAE practical guidance

  • Use current AED market values on the calculation date.
  • The calculator does not fetch a live gold or silver price, preventing an outdated nisab.
  • Use authorized UAE collection and distribution channels where required or preferred.
  • Keep a calculation record showing assets, liabilities, nisab basis and payment date.
  • Personal Zakat is a religious obligation and is not the same as UAE VAT or Corporate Tax.
  • A business should obtain tax advice before treating any payment as a deductible corporate expense.
