The HRF Zakat Calculator by Human Relief Foundation (HRF) is a smartphone app that helps Muslims calculate their Zakat.
Lightweight and safe to use, the app will tell you how much you owe in Zakat using the information you provide. It will also tell you whether you are eligible to pay or not.
The app eliminates the need for complicated calculations, doing the work for you. It can also be used by multiple users on one phone.
Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a compulsory act of worship that requires Muslims with wealth over a certain threshold (Nisaab) to donate a portion of percentage, typically 2.5%, to those who fall into one or more of eight categories designated by God in the Quran.
Although this app gives a choice of Nisaab value calculated from both Gold and Silver, Islamic financial scholars strongly recommend using the Gold value for the Nisaab and not Silver.
The HRF Zakat Calculator consists of:
• An easy-to-use interface to enter and clear values
• Clickable fields for further details
• Nisaab value from gold and silver updated regularly*, or enter your own
• Supports multiple currencies, £ GBP, $ USD and € EUR, from exchange rates updated regularly*
• The final calculation to tell you whether you are eligible to pay Zakat or not, and the amount you have to pay
