How to Calculate Zakat Using Zakat Calculator
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, a means of purifying wealth and helping those in need. Using the ABF Zakat Calculator, you can calculate your Zakat accurately and quickly. Follow these detailed steps to ensure correctness:
- Cash: Include all cash at home, in bank accounts, and liquid assets available to you.
- Gold & Silver: Enter the current market value of all gold and silver you own.
- Properties: Include all properties other than your main residence, such as rental properties or land that can be sold.
- Pensions & Shares: Include accessible amounts from pensions, stocks, and shares that can be converted to cash.
- Other Investments: Include investments such as mutual funds, bonds, or other financial instruments.
- Money Owed to You: Include any debts that others owe you which are expected to be received.
- Business Assets & Debts: Include the value of your business and subtract any business liabilities.
- Unpaid Debts: Subtract any personal loans or obligations that you need to pay.
The calculator automatically computes your net assets and calculates 2.5% Zakat payable.
Tips for Accurate Calculation:
- Include all assets accurately.
- Exclude your primary home, personal belongings, and items used for daily life.
- Double-check any debts owed or to be subtracted to avoid over or under calculation.
- If unsure about any value, refer to current market rates for gold, silver, property, or shares.

Primary Eye Care Centers (PECs)
In addition to our main hospital in Karachi, Al Baseer Foundation has established Primary Eye Care Centers (PECs) in multiple underserved areas to provide essential eye care services at the grassroots level. These centers act as the first line of defense against avoidable blindness.
Kunri
The Kunri Primary Eye Care Center plays a vital role in addressing eye health challenges faced by rural populations in the southern Sindh region. Located in a largely agrarian area, the center provides vision screening, early diagnosis of cataract and refractive errors, and essential eye medications. With limited access to hospitals nearby, Kunri PEC ensures local residents receive timely care, and serious cases are referred to Al Baseer’s surgical unit in Karachi for advanced procedures. Regular outreach camps and awareness sessions also form a key part of its impact.
Gharo
Situated near the Indus Delta, the Gharo PEC serves coastal communities where healthcare facilities are scarce. This center is a lifeline for fishermen, laborers, and low-income families who are often exposed to harsh environmental conditions affecting eye health. Services include primary eye exams, cataract screening, prescription lenses, and first-aid for eye injuries. By partnering with local stakeholders and maintaining a strong referral network with the main hospital, Gharo PEC ensures continuity of care and promotes preventive eye health through education and outreach.
Sujawal
Sujawal PEC serves a highly underserved population with one of the highest burdens of avoidable blindness in the province. The center provides free eye checkups, treatment for common infections and allergies, and awareness programs about diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. With many residents unable to afford travel or treatment, Sujawal PEC brings essential services closer to home and reduces the risk of vision loss through early intervention. It also serves as a gateway to tertiary care by facilitating transport and coordination with Al Baseer’s central facilities.
