Business Zakat Summary
0% of nisab
Zakat Status
No Business Zakat Due
Your net business assets are below the nisab threshold. Zakat becomes obligatory once net assets reach $7,500.00.
Important Notes
Hawl (Lunar Year)
Business zakat is assessed after one full lunar year from when net assets first reached nisab. Choose a fixed date each year. Many business owners align this with the end of Ramadan.
Fixed Assets Are Exempt
Equipment, machinery, office furniture, vehicles used in operations, and business property are NOT subject to zakat. Only current (liquid) assets count. This is the position of AAOIFI and Mufti Taqi Usmani.
Partnerships
If your business has partners, each partner calculates zakat on their share of net assets independently. The business itself does not pay zakat as an entity. This follows the position of the Islamic Fiqh Academy of the OIC.
This calculator uses the AAOIFI standard methodology for business zakat, endorsed by Mufti Taqi Usmani (Chairman, AAOIFI Shariah Board) and the Islamic Fiqh Academy of the OIC. The scholarly opinions cited represent the views of those named scholars and institutions only. They do not constitute a fatwa from Aligned Wealth. Consult a qualified Islamic scholar and accountant for guidance specific to your business.
