Zakat on business inventory
For a trading business, Zakat is due on stock-in-trade — goods held for sale, valued at current market price — plus business cash and money owed to you, minus immediate debts. Fixed assets used to run the business are generally not zakatable. The net total is charged at 2.5% if it is above the nisab and has been held for a full lunar year.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Inventory + cash + receivables (example) | PKR 5,000,000 |
| Zakat rate | 2.5% |
| Estimated Zakat | PKR 125,000 |
How the 2.5% calculation works
Net zakatable assets = (stock-in-trade at market value + business cash + receivables) − immediate business debts. Zakat = net assets × 2.5%. Use the business Zakat calculator to total it, and the main Zakat calculator to combine business and personal wealth.
