How is Zakat Calculated

To calculate Zakat, you need to add up the financial value of all the assets that are due. Only those assets that have been in your possession for at least one year should be included for Zakat. Liabilities are also calculated and deducted from the total and 2.5% of the final amount is given.

Example:

For example, you have 100 grams of gold, 5 lakhs in cash, lend someone PKR 1 lakh, and owe someone else PKR 50,000. You would calculate Zakat as follows:

• 1 gram of gold (22 carat) = Rs. 9,869.51/
• 100 grams of gold (22 carat) = Rs. 9,869,510/
• Cash = Rs. 500,000/
• Loans to others = Rs. 100,000/
• Total Assets = Rs. 10,469,510/
• Zakat = Total Assets – Liabilities
• 10,469,510 – 50,000 (the loan amount you owe) = 10,419,510
• 10,419,510 is the monetary value of the total asset that you have. Now the Zakat due is 2.5% of this amount and it will be 260,487.75 rupees.
