Zakat on Business Goods Calculator

At its current selling value — what the goods would fetch if sold today. That is the basis used throughout this site: trade goods are valued at their current selling price on your Zakat date, not at what you paid for them.

No. The building you trade from, shelves and fittings, machinery and vehicles are the tools of your trade, not trade goods — they are not zakatable, however valuable. Only what you hold to sell, plus business cash and recoverable receivables, counts.

Stock worth Rs 1,500,000 at selling prices, Rs 100,000 of business cash, Rs 200,000 owed by customers who are expected to pay, and Rs 300,000 owed to suppliers. Total assets Rs 1,800,000, minus the Rs 300,000 owed, leaves Rs 1,500,000 — above the nisab — so the Zakat is 2.5%: Rs 37,500. Those are the figures loaded in the calculator above.

Goods you hold for resale count at their selling value even when you bought them on credit — they are your stock now. What you still owe the supplier is a liability, so put it in the debts field; the two sides are both counted, honestly.

Yes — on your Zakat date, everything zakatable you own is counted together: personal cash, gold, silver and the business's net position. Use the main Zakat calculator to bring personal and business wealth into one calculation.
