Bitcoin zakat calculator
Most zakat bodies state zakat as 2.5% of zakatable wealth held for a lunar year, once it reaches the nisab. This calculator adds your bitcoin at today's price, 74,861 USD on November 8, 2026, to your cash and other zakatable assets, takes off debts that are due, and compares the total with a nisab you set from the price of gold or silver. Scholars differ on details, including how to treat crypto, so use this as arithmetic and ask a scholar or your local zakat body.
Enter a price per gram to set the nisab.

Worked example
Hold 0.1 BTC, worth 7,486 USD at today's price, and 2,000 USD in cash, with no other assets or debts. The zakatable wealth is 9,486 USD. If that is above the nisab, 2.5% of it is due: 237.15 USD.
How it works
Zakatable wealth = bitcoin × today's price + cash + other zakatable assets − debts due. The nisab = grams × the price per gram you enter, using 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver, the figures most zakat bodies use. If the wealth reaches the nisab, zakat = wealth × 2.5%, and otherwise nothing is due. This page has no live metal price, so you enter one from a source you trust. The calculator does not check that your wealth was held for a full lunar year.
Ask a scholar for your own case
Scholars differ on which nisab to use, on whether and how crypto is zakatable, and on how to count the lunar year and debts. The gold nisab is usually far higher than the silver one, so the choice changes the result. This page is a calculation aid, not religious advice. Ask a qualified scholar or your local zakat body what applies to you.
