Choose the applicable calculation route

Use the general accounts-payer route for an ordinary period. Financing, insurance, deemed assessment, mergers and short closing periods require their applicable special calculation.

This general calculation does not determine the special-sector, deemed-assessment, merger or short closing-period result. Establish the applicable provisions and qualified figures separately. See the period guide and current official Arabic regulations.

Example 16 supplies the base figures; its sample period and tax calculation here are Dariba assumptions. Illustrations are identified separately from your own figures.

Enter the qualified year-end balances

Enter substantiated Zakat classifications without duplicate amounts. The tool does not decide asset eligibility, partner-loan/provision classification, related-party adjustments or your Zakat ownership share.

Assets, actual deductions and period

Deductions are derived as non-current assets less their undeducted portion, plus the actual qualifying current-asset deduction. Resolve the underlying eligibility before using these amounts.

Ordinary accounts-payer period. Special merger and closing-period rules are outside this calculation.
Confirm the actual denominator; 354 is an illustration default, not a universal Hijri-year length.
