Processing and privacy: The result is calculated inside your browser and your data is not sent to any server.
How to use it
- Enter number of shares, share price on zakat day, your intention, company zakatable assets % (investing) and zakat rate.
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
Market value = shares × price. Trading: base = market value. Investing: base = market value × zakatable asset %. Zakat = base × 2.5%.
Example
Inputs: Number of shares = 100, Share price on zakat day = 50, Your intention = Trading (buy to sell), Company zakatable assets % (investing) = 100 %, Zakat rate = 2.5 %. Result: Zakat due: 125.00; Market value: 5,000.00; Zakatable base: 5,000.00.
Limits and caveats
- No nisab check, because shares are added to the rest of your wealth; use the full zakat calculator for that.
- The method for investment shares is a matter of modern ijtihad; take the percentage from the company's statements.
- If the company pays zakat on behalf of shareholders, many bodies say you owe none on those shares.
Questions about this tool
What is the difference between trading and investing?
A trader buys to sell and zakats the full market value; an investor holds for dividends and zakats his share of the zakatable assets.
Where do I find the zakatable asset %?
From the company's financial statements (cash, inventory, receivables) or from figures the company or a zakat authority publishes.
Are dividends included?
Cash dividends you received join your cash and are zakated with it if you still hold them.
