Trade Zakat CalculatorThe Trade Zakat calculator is a tool used to calculate the amount of Zakat due on trade assets. The calculator is developed to take into account owned goods, cash, debts owed to traders, debts owed by traders, the type of calendar (Hijri or Gregorian), and gold and silver prices to calculate the minimum amount eligible for Zakat. The calculator is based on specific Islamic rules for calculating the Zakat amount as a specific percentage of the asset's value.
The Trade Zakat calculator includes several components and criteria to calculate Zakat correctly. The basic data entered into the calculator includes:
- Owned Goods: The value of trade goods owned by the trader during a specified period, including stored, sold, and purchased goods.
- Cash: The value of cash assets owned by the trader in bank accounts or available for payment.
- Debts Owed to Traders: Amounts owed to traders and suppliers that have not been paid yet.
- Debts Owed by Traders: Amounts owed by customers and buyers that have not been received yet.
- Type of Calendar: The calendar type used for Zakat calculation, whether it is Hijri or Gregorian.
- Gold and Silver Prices: Current gold and silver prices are used to calculate the minimum amount eligible for Zakat. This is based on the standard weight of gold and silver and their value per unit weight.
After entering this data, the calculator converts it into numbers and calculates the minimum amount eligible for Zakat based on the provided gold and silver prices. Then, Zakat is calculated as a specific percentage of the calculated asset value according to Islamic rules. The calculator presents the calculated results clearly, such as the Zakat amount due, eligible assets, and the calculated minimum threshold.
The Trade Zakat calculator allows individuals and traders to easily and quickly calculate Zakat, helping them comply with Islamic principles and necessary rules for Zakat payment. The calculator can be used in smartphone applications, websites, or specialized software for trade Zakat calculation, providing convenience and accuracy in the Zakat calculation process and promoting compliance with Islamic requirements.
