Zakat is due annually once a full lunar year (Hawl) has passed on wealth that remains at or above the Nisab threshold, but in practice most people pay Zakat on different pots of wealth at different points in the year — cash savings on one date, gold or business inventory on another, Zakat al-Fitr right before Eid — which makes it easy to lose track of exactly what has been paid, when, and for which Hawl. This tracker keeps a simple, permanent, private record: the year, the type of wealth it applied to, the amount, the date paid, and who received it, all stored only in your own browser. A running all-time total and a per-year breakdown make it easy to confirm nothing has been missed, and a clear badge shows at a glance whether the current year already has a logged payment — turning an easy-to-forget yearly obligation into a habit you can actually verify rather than just remember.
Zakat's yearly rhythm is exactly what makes it easy to lose track of. Unlike the five daily prayers, which repeat often enough that memory alone rarely fails, Zakat on a given pot of wealth becomes due only once every lunar year — roughly 354 days apart — which is long enough that most people cannot reliably recall, months later, the precise amount they paid, the date it was paid, or even whether a particular category of wealth was covered that year at all. Multiply that across several income sources — savings, gold, a small trade inventory, rental income — each potentially reaching its own Hawl on a different date, and the honest picture for most households is less a single annual event and more a scattered set of payments that are easy to under-track without ever intending to.
The consequence of poor tracking is rarely dishonesty; it's usually just uncertainty. Someone who paid Zakat on their savings in Ramadan and then received an inheritance or business profit later in the year may genuinely not remember, the following Ramadan, whether that additional wealth was ever accounted for separately. Without a record, the two realistic outcomes are either paying twice out of an abundance of caution — which is not obligatory once genuinely already paid — or skipping a payment that was, in fact, due. A simple log removes the guesswork from both sides of that decision by turning "I think I paid something" into an exact, dated, searchable entry.
There's also a quieter benefit that has nothing to do with calculation accuracy: Zakat, like other acts of worship, is traditionally understood to carry more weight when performed with full awareness and intention (niyyah) rather than as a vague, half-remembered gesture. Keeping a clear record — this amount, to this recipient, on this date, for this Hawl — is a small practical extension of that same principle of deliberate, accountable worship rather than passive habit, echoing the broader tradition of Muhasabah (self-accounting) that Islamic scholarship has long encouraged across all acts of worship, not Zakat alone.
None of this changes the underlying fiqh: the tracker performs no calculation and applies no ruling, and the actual determination of what's owed still belongs to a proper Zakat calculation against the Nisab threshold, ideally cross-checked with a knowledgeable source for anything non-standard. What a private, always-available log adds is simply certainty about what has already been settled — replacing memory, which fades and gets confused between years, with a written record that doesn't.
No. This tool only logs Zakat you have already paid, for your own records. To work out how much is due, use the main Zakat Calculator or one of the dedicated calculators for cash, gold and silver, trade assets, crops, livestock, stocks, or rental income, then come back here to log the payment.
No. Every entry is stored only in this browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is ever uploaded, logged, or shared with anyone, and Ihsabha has no way to see or recover it.
Yes. The year field accepts any Hijri or Gregorian year you type, so you can build a complete backdated history, not just log this year's payment.
Because everything is stored locally in this one browser, clearing your browsing data or site data will erase your saved history, and it will not appear if you open this page on a different browser or device. For a permanent backup, note your entries down separately as well.
Entries aren't directly editable. Delete the entry using the × button and add it again with the corrected year, type, amount, date, or note.
