Work out what you owe on a modern portfolio — cash, gold, silver, crypto and shares — measured against a live nisab rather than a figure that went stale last Ramadan. Free, no account, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Both thresholds were set in metal, and the two metals have drifted far apart since. 595g of silver is worth far less than 85g of gold, so the silver standard puts more people above the threshold and moves more wealth to those entitled to it — which is why most contemporary zakat bodies use it for cash and mixed wealth. The gold standard is the lighter one on the payer and is also held. This calculator offers both.
A calculator gives you one number on one day. Zakat needs a full year — the hawl — and the value that matters is the one on your due date. WalletLens values your holdings at live prices, tracks the hawl for you, and reminds you a month before, a week before, and on the day. The reminder carries a date only, never an amount.

This is a calculation tool, not a fatwa. Rulings differ between schools and scholars, particularly on crypto and on shares.
Most contemporary scholars treat crypto as a tradeable asset, zakatable at 2.5% of its market value on your due date, provided your total wealth is at or above nisab. A minority hold that it is not wealth at all. The WalletLens zakat calculator includes crypto and lets you exclude it if you follow that view.
Nisab is the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, so it moves with the metal price rather than being a fixed dollar figure. The silver standard is lower, so more people reach it, and it is what most contemporary zakat bodies use for cash and mixed wealth. This calculator prices both live and shows the figure it used.
Shares bought to trade are stock in trade and zakatable in full at market value. Shares held long term are zakatable on the company’s underlying zakatable assets rather than the whole share price; since no price feed can read a balance sheet, about 30% of market value is the commonly used approximation.
It is 2.5% over a lunar year of about 354 days. If you pay on a fixed solar date instead, the rate is scaled to 2.577% to cover the eleven extra days — otherwise a solar-year payer quietly underpays a little every year.
Gold and silver held as wealth are zakatable in full by weight, whether bullion, coins or jewellery. Schools differ on jewellery in regular personal use; the majority position exempts it, while the Hanafi position does not.
Yes. It is free, needs no account, and computes entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere. In the WalletLens app your holdings stay on your device, and the zakat reminder sends a date only, never an amount.
