Zakat on Stocks Calculator

Trading shares, long-term investment, and dividend purification — in one place, with the zakat and purification amounts kept clearly separate.

How it works

Three steps, under a minute:

  1. Pick how you hold the shares — trading, or long-term investment.
  2. Enter the market value, and for long-term holdings, the zakatable asset ratio.
  3. Get your zakat due, plus any purification to donate separately.

1 · How do you hold the shares?

Trading: shares are trade goods, so zakat is 2.5% of the current market value on your zakat date.

2 · Your shares

Enter amounts in your currency. Dividends already in your bank account belong in the main zakat calculator, not here — to avoid counting them twice.

Total value on your zakat date, across all shares in this calculation.
Used only for purification below, not added to zakat.
From the company's report or screening service. 0 if none, or unknown and you are not purifying.

3 · Your zakat & purification

Enter your shares above to see your calculation.

Zakat on stocks — quick answers

Trading vs long-term — which am I?
If you bought the shares mainly to sell them for a profit, use Trading. If you bought them to hold and collect dividends, use Long-term investment. If you do both, calculate each holding separately — do not mix the two methods in one number.
Where do I find the zakatable asset ratio?
In the company's annual report or an Islamic stock screening service, as the share of total assets that are zakatable (cash, inventory, receivables, minus debts). It changes every year, so use the latest figure. If you cannot find it, use Trading mode at full market value — that is the cautious approach.
Is purification the same as zakat?
No. Purification is giving away the haram portion of dividends, with no intention of reward. Zakat is 2.5% of zakatable wealth, given with the intention of zakat. Keep the two amounts separate, even though you may pay them at the same time.
What if a stock is not Shariah-compliant at all?
This calculator does not make a stock halal. If a holding is fully non-compliant, scholars generally advise exiting it and purifying any haram gains. Ask a qualified scholar about your specific holdings.
Do I count dividends twice?
No. Dividends still sitting in your bank account on your zakat date are already zakatable wealth — count them once, in the main zakat calculator. Here, dividends are used only to work out purification.
Educational tool. Zakat on shares has detailed rulings that vary by school, company type and holding intention. Always confirm your final amount with a qualified scholar or mufti.
