Ushr calculator
Calculate Ushr on your harvest
Ushr is due on agricultural produce at harvest. Enter the market value of each harvest by how it was watered. There is no lunar-year (hawl) wait and Ushr is not reduced by your debts.
Settings
Fiqh position
Schools differ on whether a minimum harvest (nisab) is required before Ushr is due.
Ruling
The schools differ on whether a minimum harvest (nisab) is required before Ushr is due. The majority hold that a produce nisab of about five wasq (roughly 653 kg of staple produce, though conversions vary) must be reached, after which Ushr is 10% on rain-fed and 5% on irrigated produce. The Hanafi school, following Abu Hanifa, sets no nisab and holds Ushr due on any quantity of produce, however small. Pick the position you follow; on the majority position, confirm the harvest reaches the nisab.
Rain-fed (10%)PKR 0
Produce watered naturally by rain, rivers, or springs at no cost. Enter the market value of the harvest. Ushr of 10% applies at harvest (no hawl required).
Ruling
Agricultural produce is charged Ushr because it is a direct yield of the land, which is why it is due at harvest and not after a lunar year. The rate is higher when nature waters the crop at no cost to the farmer. The schools differ over which crops Ushr covers, from grains and fruits only to all cultivated produce.

Produce watered by artificial means with cost: wells, canals, tube-wells, or machinery. Enter the market value of the harvest. Ushr of 5% applies at harvest.
Ruling
Ushr on irrigated land is reduced because the farmer carries the cost and labor of artificial watering, wells, canals, tube-wells, or machinery, so the burden on the yield is eased. It remains due at harvest rather than after a year.

Produce watered by both natural and artificial means during the season. Enter the market value of the harvest. A blended rate of 7.5% is commonly applied.
Ruling
When a crop is watered by both natural and paid means through the season, jurists set the obligation between the two rates rather than at either extreme. Where one method clearly predominates, some scholars assign that method's rate instead; this tool uses the common midpoint.
