Three calculators. One transparent method.
Wealth, harvest, and Eid each follow their own zakat rules. Zakat Compass walks you through all three, shows the sources behind every rule, and keeps every number in your browser, never on a server.

Qur'an 9:103Establish prayer and give zakat.
Qur'an 2:110The three calculators
Every obligation, calculated on its own terms
Wealth, agricultural produce, and Zakat al-Fitr each carry a different rate and a different trigger for when they're due. Open the one that applies to you.
Due at harvest, no hawl
Ushr
10% rain-fed · 5% irrigated · 7.5% mixed
A harvest levy on agricultural produce. The rate depends on how the land was watered, and it's due immediately at harvest rather than after a year.
Open Ushr calculatorDue before the Eid prayer
Zakat al-Fitr
A fixed amount per person in the household
A separate, per-person obligation at the end of Ramadan, traditionally given as a measured staple food or its cash value, before the Eid al-Fitr prayer.
Open Fitr calculatorTransparency
Every rule, shown and sourced
Zakat Compass doesn't just hand you a number. Every category explains its own ruling inline, the rulings library cites Qur'an, hadith, and fiqh reasoning for every rate, and where scholars differ, both positions are shown instead of picking one quietly.
A ruling behind every entry
Open any category inside a calculator to see a plain-language ruling and its sources, right where you enter the number.
The rulings library
Qur'an, hadith, and fiqh references behind every rule the calculators use, including where the schools of thought differ.
