Now let's check your liabilities
Some debts are eligible to be deducted from your zakatable wealth, reducing the amount on which zakah is due. We'll walk through each liability type one at a time.
Explain how deductions work for Immediate Debts
- All immediate debts are fully deductible from your zakatable wealth
- This includes: bills due now, credit card balances, overdue payments, and any debt payable on demand
- Current month's rent is deductible — but only the current month, not future months (Nurturing Mountains, p. 24)
- Car lease payments are treated as rent, not debt (you don't own the vehicle). Only the current month's payment is deductible at most (AskImam Hanafi ruling)
| Zakatable wealth | $100,000.00 |
| Less: Immediate debts | -$2,000.00 |
| Net zakatable wealth | $98,000.00 |
| Zakat due (2.5%) | $2,450.00 |
This is an example to show how deductions work. Your actual zakat will be calculated based on the values you enter.
Explain how deductions work for Monthly Loan Payments
- Loan payments (mortgage, car loan, student loan): The next 12 months of payments are deductible — enter your monthly amount and the calculator multiplies by 12 automatically
- Car loans (financing a purchase you will own) belong here
- Car leases (renting a vehicle you return) do NOT belong here — a lease is treated as rent, not debt. Enter the current month's payment under Immediate Debts instead
- Rent (apartment, house) does NOT belong here — only the current month's rent is deductible, entered under Immediate Debts
| Zakatable wealth | $100,000.00 |
| Less: Loan payments ($1,500/mo × 12) | -$18,000.00 |
| Net zakatable wealth | $82,000.00 |
| Zakat due (2.5%) | $2,050.00 |
This is an example to show how deductions work. Your actual zakat will be calculated based on the values you enter.
