Calculate Your Zakat
Use this calculator to work out your Zakat obligation based on your assets and liabilities.
Understanding Zakat and Who It Is For
Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is obligatory upon every Muslim whose wealth meets or exceeds the Nisab threshold. Zakat is due only if the wealth equal to or above the Nisab has been owned for a full Islamic lunar year (hawl).
Nisab is the minimum amount of net capital that a Muslim must possess in order to be eligible to pay Zakat, which is prescribed as the equivalent of 87.48 grams (7.5 tola) of gold and 612.36 grams (52.5 tola) of silver, respectively.
TCF follows the ‘wakala’ model of Zakat, whereby parents of TCF students designate us as their agent to manage and allocate Zakat funds. We ensure that your Zakat is applied in accordance with Islamic principles to provide high-quality education to deserving children in Pakistan.
