Calculate your Zakat with confidence

Purpose

To calculate Zakat on agricultural produce (crops, fruits, grains, etc.) based on:

  1. Type of irrigation (natural rainfall or artificial)
  2. Amount harvested (in kg or tons)
  3. Nisab threshold (approx. 653 kg of dates/wheat equivalent)

Zakat rate:

  1. 10% (for natural irrigation)
  2. 5% (for artificial irrigation)

Formula

If Total Produce >= Nisab:
Irrigation = Natural → Zakat = Produce × 10%
Irrigation = Artificial → Zakat = Produce × 5%
Else:
No Zakat due.

What is Agricultural Zakat and Why It’s Important

Agricultural Zakat is a mandatory charity that Muslims give from the produce of their land, including grains, fruits, and crops. It is among the earliest types of Zakat described in the Qur’an and Sunnah, underlining gratitude to Allah for sustenance.
In Islam, wealth and produce are considered a trust from Allah, and Zakat ensures that a portion of this blessing reaches those in need. Agricultural Zakat purifies a farmer’s income, fosters justice, and supports the poor and vulnerable in the community.
Unlike other forms of Zakat, agricultural Zakat is due at harvest instead of after a year. This highlights its importance in maintaining balance and promoting generosity within the agricultural sector.
By accurately calculating Zakat on crops and harvests, you fulfill a major act of worship and advance social welfare—helping others benefit from the blessings Allah has given you.

🌾 When is Zakat Due on Crops?

Zakat on agricultural produce becomes due at the time of harvest, not after a full year, unlike zakat on cash or business. Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:

“And give its due (Zakat) on the day of its harvest.”
(Surah Al-An‘am 6:141)

Once your crop is ready for harvest and the total produce reaches the Nisab (minimum threshold), Zakat becomes obligatory. Zakat applies to all storable and measurable produce, such as wheat, rice, dates, corn, barley, pulses, and similar crops. Perishable items, such as vegetables, are generally exempt unless they are grown for trade or large-scale sale.

🌿 How to Calculate Zakat on Agricultural Produce (5% vs 10%)

The rate of Zakat depends on how the crops are irrigated:
  1. 🌧️ Natural Irrigation (Rain, Rivers, Springs) → 10% Zakat
    Crops watered naturally, without cost (through rainfall or natural water sources), require a 10% Zakat on the total produce.
  2. If you spend money or effort to irrigate land (using pumps, canals, or paid water), 5% Zakat is due on the produce.

🧮 Example:

If a farmer harvests 2,000 kg of wheat if:
  • irrigated by rainfall, Zakat = 2,000 × 10% = 200 kg
  • irrigated by tube well, Zakat = 2,000 × 5% = 100 kg
This ensures fairness by considering both natural resources and the effort required for irrigation.

🌾 Nisab Value for Agricultural Produce

The Nisab (minimum threshold) for Zakat on agricultural produce is approximately 653 kilograms (around 5 wasqs) of wheat, dates, or similar staple crops.
  • If your total harvest is below 653 kg, no Zakat is due.
  • If your harvest is 653 kg or more, Zakat is due according to the irrigation method.
💡 Note: The Nisab value is based on the weight of staple crops and may slightly vary depending on Islamic scholars’ interpretations or local standards. It’s always recommended to consult your local scholar or Islamic authority if you’re unsure.

Importance of Zakat on Agriculture

Zakat on agricultural produce is wajib if the harvest reaches Nisab (approximately 653 kg of wheat or its cash equivalent). The rate depends on irrigation: 10% for rain-fed crops and 5% for artificially irrigated crops.

Qur’an Reference: Surah Al-An’am 6:141 – “Give its due on the day of harvest.”

Social Benefit:
“Your Zakat on crops helps feed the poor, support families, and promote fair distribution of resources.”

The calculator also converts results into multiple currencies (PKR, USD, GBP, EUR) and provides options to download or share the zakat calculation. Designed for accuracy, convenience, and Shariah compliance, it ensures zakat is calculated correctly and easily at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zakat on agriculture is based on the principle of Ushr (one-tenth). If crops or produce reach the nisab (minimum threshold), zakat becomes obligatory. The rate depends on irrigation:

  • 10% if the crops are irrigated naturally (rainwater, rivers).

  • 5% if irrigation requires expenses (tube wells, machinery).
    Using the Agricultural Produce Calculator, farmers can quickly input their total yield and see the exact zakat payable without manual mistakes.

The nisab for agricultural produce is 653 kilograms of wheat (or its equivalent in staple crops). If the harvest is equal to or above this nisab, zakat becomes obligatory.
Our Agricultural Produce Calculator helps you check if your harvest meets the nisab and then applies the correct zakat rate, ensuring your calculation is accurate and Shariah-compliant.

To calculate zakat on wheat:

  • Find the total harvested wheat (in kg).

  • Check if it meets the nisab of 653 kg.

  • Apply the correct rate: 10% (rainwater) or 5% (paid irrigation).
    Example: If you harvested 1,000 kg wheat irrigated by rain → Zakat = 100 kg wheat.
    Instead of manual math, the Agricultural Produce Calculator instantly computes this for you.

Ushr is the obligatory zakat on crops grown from land. The rates are fixed:

  • 10% for naturally irrigated land.

  • 5% for artificially irrigated land.
    This applies to all staple crops, fruits, and vegetables that can be stored and traded. The Agricultural Produce Calculator ensures farmers calculate Ushr accurately without confusion.

Profit in agriculture is calculated as:
Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs (seeds, fertilizer, labor, irrigation).
However, zakat is not calculated on profit alone—it is due on the gross produce, provided it meets the nisab. By using the Agricultural Produce Calculator, you can separate profit analysis from zakat calculation, ensuring financial clarity and religious compliance.
