Ramadan is a season of reflection, generosity, and purposeful giving. For many Muslims, Zakat goes beyond a donation, it’s an act of worship rooted in faith, responsibility, and care for others.
But too often, calculating Zakat online feels fragmented. Supporters leave your site to use third-party calculators, double-check amounts, and then return (or don’t) to complete their donation. This broken experience undermines donor intention at the very moment trust matters most.
The Zakat Calculator was built to change that.
Zakat, calculated with care
The Zakat Calculator helps supporters calculate their Zakat according to Islamic principles and donate directly on your website without distractions, guesswork, or external tools.
Supporters can:
- Enter their Zakat amount directly if they already know it
- Or, walk through a guided calculation based on their assets, liabilities, and Nisab threshold
Once the amount is calculated, they’re taken straight to checkout with the correct Zakat amount securely locked in.
Grounded in Islamic principles
Accuracy and trust are essential when it comes to Zakat. The calculator is designed to reflect that responsibility:
- Nisab is based on gold or silver, with daily price updates
- Automatic 2.5% calculation when Zakat is due
- Clear distinction between Zakat and Sadaqah if Nisab isn’t met
- Rounding up, to avoid underestimating the obligation
All financial information entered by supporters stays on their device. Nothing is stored by Fundraise Up.
Designed for your community and your website
The Zakat Calculator is added to your site like any other Fundraise Up Element. It appears as a configurable button and opens in a modal that keeps supporters fully within your experience.
You can:
- Match your site’s look and feel
- Localize the button text into the languages you support, including right-to-left languages such as Arabic
- Connect Zakat and Sadaqah donations to the right campaigns and designations
The result is a giving experience that feels intentional, respectful, and aligned with your mission.

Whether you’re preparing for the final ten nights of Ramadan or planning ahead, the Zakat Calculator helps you offer supporters clarity and confidence when it matters most.
