Zakat is a form of almsgiving in Islam that is mandatory for all Muslims who are financially able to do so. In a business context, zakat on business is typically calculated as a percentage of a company’s net profits, and is used to support the poor and the needy in the community. It is considered an act of worship and a way for Muslims to fulfill their social and moral responsibilities to others. Many Muslim-owned businesses include zakat as part of their financial planning and consider it an important part of their overall corporate social responsibility efforts.
In calculating zakat for business, the assets that are considered for zakat are typically the same as those that are considered for personal zakat, which includes the following:
It’s important to note that zakat on business is only applicable to these assets if they meet a certain threshold amount in total, called the “nisab.” The assets must also have been owned by the business for a full lunar year, known as a full “haul.” The haul indicates how often should zakat be paid, which is only once a year once a haul is completed.

The amount of due zakat for business assets is similar to personal or individual zakat, which is at 2.5% on assets that are eligible for zakat on business calculation. This is based on the hadith which states that Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
“When you possess two hundred Dirhams at the end of the year (if you still have all of them), five Dirhams are levied on them as Zakat. There is nothing upon you (to be paid) in gold, until it reaches (the value of) twenty Dinars. When you possess twenty Dinars, at the end of the year, then there is half a Dinar levied on it (as Zakat). Any additional amount will be calculated in the same manner. No Zakat is to be paid on monetary holdings, until they have been owned for one year.” [Abu Dawud]

It’s always a good idea to consult with a qualified financial advisor or Islamic scholar if you have any questions about your zakat obligations. If you’d like to gauge how much zakat on business income you have to pay, do use the calculator here.
