How to use this tool
Use one currency for every field. Add cash, eligible gold and silver value, investments and business inventory; subtract eligible short-term liabilities. Compare the nonnegative balance with your entered nisab. If it meets that threshold and you confirm that the applicable lunar-year holding condition is met, the estimate is 2.5% of the net amount. This simplified model cannot decide which assets or debts qualify under your school of thought.
Try these values
If eligible assets total 10,000, deductible liabilities are 1,000 and your entered nisab is 6,000 in the same currency, the net is 9,000. With the holding condition met, the estimate is 225. Live gold and silver prices are not fetched.
Use one currency and a current threshold
Put every asset value, liability and the nisab into the same currency. The calculator does not fetch metal prices or exchange rates. If you are basing nisab on gold or silver, obtain the current amount from a source you trust and use the standard followed in your community. Reusing an old threshold can change the result even when the arithmetic itself is correct.
Work out eligibility before entering totals
Different assets and liabilities can require different treatment. Business stock, investments, pension holdings, money owed to you and debts are not always handled identically across circumstances or schools of thought. This page applies a simplified 2.5% monetary-assets calculation after the threshold and holding confirmation. It cannot decide those religious questions for you; check them with a qualified scholar before treating the estimate as your final obligation.
Common questions
Does this use live metal prices?

Can I use any currency?
Yes, as long as every value and the nisab use the same currency. No currency conversion is performed.
Does it cover crops, livestock or every asset type?
No. This is a simplified monetary-assets estimate. Ask a qualified scholar about your circumstances.
