₿ Crypto Zakat Calculator
Crypto zakat per Islamic Sharia
📌 Sharia Ruling
Most contemporary scholars treat cryptocurrencies like gold and silver as a store of value. Zakat is due at 2.5% if the holding reaches nisab (≈22,000 SAR) and a Hijri year has passed.
Note: If trading frequently, treat as trade goods and apply the same 2.5%.
Calculating Zakat on Cryptocurrency
This calculator helps Muslims estimate the Zakat due on digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. Many contemporary scholars treat crypto held as wealth or for investment similarly to cash and tradable assets, meaning it can be subject to Zakat at the standard rate of 2.5 percent once your total qualifying wealth reaches the nisab threshold and a full lunar (Hijri) year has passed.
To use the tool, enter the current market value of your holdings in your local currency. The calculator applies the 2.5 percent rate to give you an estimate of the amount owed. Because crypto prices move constantly, it is best to value your holdings on the day your Zakat is due, combining them with your other zakatable wealth such as cash and gold.
Important Considerations
Zakat is owed only when your wealth meets or exceeds the nisab, which is commonly measured against the value of gold or silver, and after it has been held for a lunar year. Rulings on newer asset types can differ between scholars, and the treatment of coins held purely as a long-term store versus active trading may vary. This tool provides a general estimate only; for your specific situation, consult a knowledgeable scholar or a trusted Islamic finance authority before paying.
