Zakat Calculator Australia: How to Calculate Your Zakat Easily (2026)


If you’re searching for a Zakat Calculator Australia, you’re likely ready to calculate what you owe and fulfil your obligation. Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is generally 2.5% of qualifying wealth, once you meet the Nisab threshold and other conditions.

Our Zakat Calculator helps Australian Muslims calculate quickly in AUD, with a simple step-by-step input process.


Why use a Zakat Calculator in Australia?

Zakat rules are universal, but your finances are local. A calculator designed for Australian users helps you calculate with fewer mistakes and less stress.

Using a Zakat calculator helps you:

  • Calculate in Australian Dollars (AUD)

  • Check whether you meet Nisab

  • Apply the 2.5% rate correctly

  • Include common assets like savings and investments

  • Subtract immediate liabilities correctly

If you want the full step-by-step method (not just the tool), read How do I calculate Zakat?


How to use the Zakat Calculator (quick checklist)

Before you start, gather your figures for the day you’re calculating (your Zakat due date). Enter the values that apply to you:

  • Cash and savings (bank accounts and cash held)

  • Gold and silver (metal value of jewellery, coins, bullion)

  • Shares and investments (current market value)

  • Business assets (stock held for sale and business cash)

  • Immediate liabilities (short-term debts and bills currently due)

Once entered, the calculator will show whether you are above Nisab and what your Zakat amount is.


What is the Nisab in Australia?

Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth you must own before Zakat is required. Nisab is benchmarked using gold or silver, which means the AUD value can change as prices change.

What about Zakat on superannuation in Australia?

Superannuation is a common question for Muslims in Australia.

In general, Zakat is only due on wealth that you can currently access and fully control. If your superannuation is locked until retirement, many scholars hold that Zakat is not due until it becomes accessible. Situations can differ depending on the structure and accessibility of the fund.

If you are unsure how superannuation applies to your circumstances, it is best to seek personalised religious guidance or calculate Zakat only on assets you currently control.


After you calculate: Donate Zakat online

Once you’ve calculated your amount, the next step is to ensure your Zakat reaches eligible recipients.

To give through a verified Zakat-eligible program, you can Donate Zakat online.
