How Zakat Works

Four simple steps to fulfill your obligation with confidence.

01

Check Nisab

Determine if your total wealth exceeds the minimum threshold (based on gold or silver value).

~3oz gold or ~21oz silver
02

Calculate 2.5%

Add up all eligible assets - cash, investments, gold, business - and subtract debts.

Assets − Debts = Net Wealth
03

Verify Hawl

Ensure your wealth has been above Nisab for one full lunar year (354 days).

1 lunar year = 354 days

Pay Your Zakat

Quick Answer

Zakat is a compulsory 2.5% annual levy on wealth held above the Nisab threshold for a lunar year, one of the five pillars of Islam. In Qatar there is no automatic bank deduction: you calculate and pay yourself, directly or through the state Zakat Fund. Use our free QAR calculator to cover everything: cash, gold, shares, funds, property held for trade, and business assets.

Key Takeaways

  • Zakat rate is 2.5% on wealth above Nisab: 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver by weight.
  • No automatic Zakat deduction in Qatar; you calculate and pay on your own hawl date.
  • The bank deduction covers only that account; gold, shares, funds, and business assets still need self-calculation.
  • Zakat falls due on the lunar anniversary of crossing Nisab; Ramadan payment is customary, not required.
  • Our free calculator covers all major asset categories in riyals.
