How Zakat is Calculated in the UAE
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims to donate 2.5% of their accumulated wealth if it meets the Nisab threshold for one lunar year (Hawl).
The Gold Standard
Nisab = 85 grams of 24K Gold Example: If Gold is AED 300/g, Nisab = 85 x 300 = AED 25,500
The Calculation
Total Assets - Liabilities = Net Wealth Zakat Payable = Net Wealth x 2.5%
Note: This calculator follows the standard 2.5% rate. For specific scenarios (like livestock or agricultural produce), please consult a qualified Islamic scholar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current Nisab in UAE?
Nisab is the minimum wealth required to pay Zakat. It is equivalent to 85 grams of 24K Gold. As of 2026, if your savings exceed the gold value threshold (approx. AED 25,000 - 30,000 depending on daily rates), you are eligible to pay Zakat.
How to calculate Zakat on Gold?
Determine the weight of your gold in grams. Multiply the weight by the current scrap gold price per gram. If the total value exceeds Nisab, pay 2.5% of that total value.
Can I deduct debts from Zakat?
Yes, you can deduct immediate debts (due within the lunar year) from your total assets before calculating Zakat. Long-term loans (like a 20-year mortgage) are generally not deducted in full—consult a scholar.
Is Zakat calculated on Income or Savings?
Zakat is calculated on *accumulated savings* held for one full lunar year (Hawl), not on your monthly salary/income.
