Zakat Calculator Questions
Every field in the Zakat Calculator displays help text under that field once you place your cursor in it. The help text tells you exactly what number goes in that field. The wages and earnings field tells you to enter “ total gross amount earned with labor but without financial investment excluding any amount exempt by your state .” Similarly, the taxes paid field tells you to enter “ total amount of direct an indirect taxes you have paid including state and federal income tax, property tax, sales tax and duties .” Social Security and Medicare should not be added to this field because they’re meant to provide future individual benefits. If you follow the directions provided in the help text, your zakat will be calculated exactly as it should be. When you have a question, please don’t hesitate to post on Ask Ghamidi. A help video is a great idea. Insha’Allah I will share it with relevant people.
