[02] Calculation Methods

Two ways to calculate zakat

Choose between the Simple Method or the Deduction Method based on your preference and state zakat authority guidance.

Simple Method

Quick and straightforward calculation. Zakat is calculated as 2.5% of your total annual income without any deductions.

Zakat = Annual Income × 2.5%

Deduction Method

More detailed calculation. Income is reduced by basic expenses such as self-allowance, dependents, and mandatory contributions before calculating zakat.

Zakat = (Income - Deductions) × 2.5%

Which method is better? Both methods are valid according to Islamic law. The Simple Method is easier and more cautious (ihtiyat), while the Deduction Method considers basic living needs. Choose based on your preference and guidance from your state zakat authority.
