## What is Private Zakat Calculator?

Zakat Calculator helps you fulfil the third pillar of Islam with clarity and confidence. Enter what you own, and the app handles the rest: the Nisab threshold from live gold and silver prices, the 2.5% rate on eligible wealth, and the special rules for agriculture.

Built as a charitable project, free forever, no ads, and we ask nothing of you but your prayers.

SEVEN LANGUAGES
English, Arabic, Indonesian, Urdu, Bengali, Turkish and French. Not only the buttons: the questions and the Learn section are translated too. Arabic and Urdu read right to left throughout.

WHAT IT COVERS
• Cash and bank balances, in any of 130+ currencies with automatic conversion
• Gold from 24 karat down to 10 karat, and silver by weight
• Stocks and funds, with a switch for companies that already pay Zakat themselves
• Business inventory and trade goods, with payables netting
• Real estate held for trading
• Receivables (money owed to you)
• Cryptocurrency
• Agricultural produce with the correct 10% / 5% / 7.5% rates
• Deductions for due debts and expenses

THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN
• Live gold, silver and currency rates fetched quietly in the background, with manual override
• Your Zakat day on the Hijri calendar, with a countdown on the home screen
• Name each year's calculation, reuse last year's figures, and export your history to CSV
• Answers to real questions sit inside each category, where the question occurs to you
• Your saved calculations sync through your own iCloud account, so your iPhone and iPad agree
• Back up to a file on any cloud drive, and restore it whenever you need

PRIVATE BY PRINCIPLE
We run no servers and collect nothing. Your entries live on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. If iCloud sync is on, a copy travels through your own iCloud account, which belongs to you and not to us, and you can switch it off in Settings.

Note: the app provides guidance based on mainstream positions (AAOIFI and others). For unusual situations, consult a scholar you trust.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-07

History now restores more reliably on a new iPhone or iPad. The app checks iCloud again silently when a saved copy arrives late, refreshes when you return to the app, and will not replace valid records with an empty copy. Settings now includes Load from iCloud for a manual check.

On iPad, scrolling now responds across the full screen, including empty side margins. Learn uses compact topic cards in two or three columns with each explanation already visible, and More FAQs are open by default. Arabic and Urdu mirror correctly, while the iPhone layout is unchanged.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-04

Payment tracking now follows your selected app currency everywhere, including Home, Summary and History. Paid, remaining and extra amounts convert together with the saved Zakat obligation, without changing the original stored record or placing an old number under a new currency label.

Summary is simpler and more consistent. Its main amount and Zakat section show what remains after payments, while the original calculated Zakat and paid amount stay clear. The repeated payment card has been replaced by one compact action to add or manage payments.

This build also includes the clearer category breakdown, separate deduction adjustment, full-green launch screen, keyboard-safe forms and complete payment history prepared in build 17.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-29

Now in seven languages. Indonesian, Urdu, Bengali, Turkish and French join English and Arabic, and the translation covers everything: the calculator, the questions and the Learn section. Your currency follows your language, and where a language spans many countries the app asks you to choose rather than guessing.

Your Zakat, on your own devices. Saved calculations now sync through your own iCloud account, so what you enter on your iPhone is there on your iPad. Nothing passes through our servers, because there are none. You can switch sync off in Settings.

Also in this release:
• Back up to a file. Save your data to iCloud Drive, Files, or any cloud drive you use, and restore it later. The file works with the Android app too. Restoring merges with what is already on your device rather than replacing it.
• Shares in companies that pay Zakat themselves. Each holding has a switch, on by default for Riyal holdings, and excluded holdings still count toward your Nisab.
• 14 karat and 10 karat gold, with each karat showing its purity so you can see what it means for the calculation.
• Related questions now sit inside each category, so the answer is where the question occurs to you.
• Category screens label both figures: what your holdings are worth, and the Zakat due on them.
• The total on the home screen was rebuilt to fit every currency, with a Nisab progress bar and plain wording instead of a multiple.
• Each category on the home screen shows how many items you have entered.
• Clearer wording about privacy, describing exactly what iCloud sync does.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-19

iPad and large-screen support. On an iPad the calculator now uses the width properly: your
running Zakat total sits beside the categories in its own pane, with quick access to
currency, Nisab standard, language and metal prices. The summary places the figures next to
the breakdown. On iPhone, layouts are unchanged.

Also in this release:
- Reuse last year's figures. Open History, tap Use these figures on any record, and your
  categories and amounts come back, revalued at today's gold and silver prices. Your saved
  records are never changed. If the calculator already holds figures, the app asks first and
  offers to save them.
- Name your calculations. Each saved calculation now has a name, suggested from the Hijri
  month and year, so History reads as Zakat Ramadan 1447 rather than a date. Tap a name to
  change it.
- Fixed the Riyal symbol being cut off at the top and bottom of the total, which showed at
  larger system text sizes.
- Arabic: the tab bar now reads right to left, so the calculator tab starts on the right
  where it belongs.
- Content stays in a comfortable reading column on wide screens instead of stretching edge
  to edge.
- A Rate this app row in Settings, for anyone who wants to leave a review.
- New installs now use the silver Nisab threshold by default. It is the lower of the two, so
  Zakat becomes due sooner. You can switch to gold in Settings at any time, and if you have
  already chosen a standard it stays as you set it.
- Removed an unused audio component that the app never needed.
