The SeeMyZakat calculator is an educational tool designed to help you reason about your zakat obligation. Its outputs are informational — they are not a fatwa, religious ruling, or legal advice.

Your final zakat obligation depends on factors outside the calculator's scope (e.g., personal intention, scholarly school of thought, recent events in your life). You remain responsible for verifying the result in consultation with a qualified scholar before acting on it.

Answers and guides on the knowledge platform at /content reflect the interpretations of the scholar(s) who reviewed each item. They are informational. Different scholars may arrive at different rulings. Always consult your own scholar for personal matters.

The calculator follows the zakat methodology taught by Shaykh Umer Khan. Notable positions include:

• Balance-sheet methodfor publicly traded equities — zakatable per share derived from the most recent audited filing.
• Retirement accountstreated as long-term ownership — per-fund idle ratios apply.
• No proxy ratios— tickers without verified regulatory filings fall back to a conservative 100% zakatable ratio.
• Four madhab options for calculation policy (nisab metal, jewelry treatment, debt deduction).

If you follow a different methodology, some outputs may not match. Please consult a scholar who follows your school.

Zakat ratios are computed from regulatory filings (SEC EDGAR, NPORT, ESEF, EDINET, UK Companies House, ACRA) and live price data from Yahoo Finance. Data can be:

• Stale— filings update quarterly; prices use the prior completed trading day's close.
• Incomplete— some international securities may not have a resolvable filing and will use a conservative 100% zakatable ratio.
• Subject to pipeline delays— while rare, a pipeline failure could mean ratios are older than normal.

The calculator always prefers to over-state zakat rather than under-state it when data is missing.
