Zakat tools
Work out a zakat estimate from your own figures, convert the nisab between grams, tola and karats, and find the official ways to pay zakat in the UAE.
Short answer
Zakat is usually 2.5% of the wealth you have held for a full lunar year, once it reaches the nisab. These free tools estimate it from your own figures: the calculator adds up cash, gold, silver, shares and money owed to you, and the converter turns the nisab into grams and tola. They are estimates, not a fatwa.

Paying zakat in the UAE
Zakifi does not collect or pass on zakat. To pay, use an official channel. These are the channels we found on 10 November 2026; check each one for its current details.
National Zakat Platform
The federal platform launched in February 2026. It was set up under Federal Law No. 4 of 2025, in force since 14 January 2026. Gulf News reports that individuals and companies can pay zakat through it, and Khaleej Times lists payment by card, bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Visit www.npz.gov.aeDubaiNow app
Dubai's government app. Its zakat service, launched in April 2021 by Smart Dubai with the UAE Zakat Fund, lets you work out your zakat and pay all or part of it.
Visit dubainow.dubai.aeUAE Zakat Fund
The federal zakat body behind the DubaiNow service. We could not confirm its current web address, so reach it through the channels above or an official UAE government site.
Zakat in the Zakifi app
The app also estimates zakat from what you record, follows your hawl (the zakat year) and keeps a record of the zakat and sadaqah you give. Its settings and defaults are not yet the same as these tools, so the two can give different figures for the same inputs.
Questions
Is the result from these tools a fatwa?
No. The calculator and the converter give estimates from the figures and settings you choose. They have not been reviewed by a scholar, and they are not a fatwa or an official ruling. Scholars differ on several points, so please ask a qualified scholar you trust before you pay.
Where do the gold and silver prices come from?
You enter them. The tools do not fetch prices and show no daily rate, because we do not have a licensed price feed. Use today's price per gram from a jeweller, bank or another source you trust, in your own currency.
Can I pay zakat through Zakifi?
No. Zakifi does not collect, hold or pass on zakat, and it does not move money. In the UAE you can pay through official channels such as the National Zakat Platform or the zakat service in the DubaiNow app. Check each channel for its current details.
