In Islamic finance, Zakat is not just a charity but a mandatory pillar that purifies one's wealth. For business owners, calculating Zakat can be complex as it involves more than just cash in the bank. Our Business Zakat Calculator is designed to simplify this process, helping you account for zakat on inventory, trade receivables, and liquid assets while accurately deducting your business liabilities.
The general rule for business Zakat is that it is due on "trading goods"—anything purchased with the intention to resell for profit. Unlike fixed assets like machinery or office buildings, which are exempt, your stock-in-trade is subject to a 2.5% Zakat rate if it meets the Nisab threshold.
To get an accurate result, you should value your inventory at its current market selling price on the day of calculation. Combine this with your business cash and any "good debts" (money owed to you that you expect to receive). From this total, subtract your immediate business expenses and short-term debts. If the remaining amount is above the Nisab, Zakat is due. For more complex financial tracking, you might also find our Gross Margin Calculator helpful for your overall business health.
Underpaying Zakat means the obligation remains unfulfilled, while overpaying is considered a voluntary Sadaqah. Using a dedicated business zakat calculator ensures you are following the correct methodology. If you also hold personal assets in digital currencies, you can use our Crypto Profit Calculator to determine the value of those holdings before adding them to your total wealth assessment.
Zakat on business inventory should be calculated based on the current market selling price (retail value) at the time your Zakat year ends, not the original cost price you paid to the supplier.
No. Fixed assets used to run the business, such as delivery vans, factory machinery, computers, and office furniture, are not subject to Zakat. Zakat is only due on assets that are liquid or intended for sale.
You can deduct your short-term liabilities (debts due immediately or within the current month) from your total assets. If the resulting net wealth is below the Nisab threshold, you do not owe Zakat for that period.
