Do I pay Zakat on my house in the UK?
No, you don't pay Zakat on your primary residence (the home you live in). However, if you own rental properties as investments, you pay Zakat on the rental income, not the property value itself. If you're purchasing property through a mortgage, use our Zakat calculator with mortgage for property-specific guidance.
Is Zakat due on my UK student loan?
UK student loans are considered debts and can be deducted from your zakatable assets when calculating Zakat. However, some scholars argue that since UK student loans are only repaid based on income (not a fixed debt), they shouldn't be deducted. Use our Zakat calculator for student loans to see both scenarios.
Can I give Zakat to UK organisations?
Yes, you can give Zakat to UK-registered Islamic organisations like HNCO, provided the funds are distributed to eligible recipients (the 8 categories: poor, needy, Zakat collectors, new Muslims, freeing slaves, debtors, for the cause of Allah, travelers in need). HNCO's 100% donation policy ensures your Zakat reaches those in need worldwide, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa.
When should I pay Zakat UK 2026?
Zakat becomes due after your wealth has been above the Nisab for one full lunar year (Hawl) from the date you first reached Nisab. Many UK Muslims choose to pay during Ramadan 2026 for extra spiritual rewards, but you can pay anytime after your personal Hawl date. Ramadan 2026 is expected around March 1-29, 2026.
What is the Zakat rate in Islam?
The Zakat rate is 2.5% (one fortieth) of your qualifying wealth. This standard rate applies to cash, savings, gold, silver, and business assets.

- The Hawl (Lunar Year): Zakat is due once your wealth has stayed above the Nisab for one full lunar year (approximately 354 days).
- The Rate: Typically, Zakat is calculated at 2.5% of your qualifying wealth.
What Assets are Included?
Our 2026 calculator simplifies the process by factoring in all your Zakatable assets, including:
