About Cash & Savings Zakat in Canada
Calculate Zakat on your cash savings, bank accounts, and deposits in Canada. Our free calculator uses the Hanafi madhab nisab threshold in CAD. Includes fixed deposits, foreign currency, and all liquid assets held for one lunar year.
Hanafi Madhab Rule
Uses silver nisab (~595g value) — lower threshold, more people pay Zakat. Bank interest (riba) on principal is still zakatable — the interest itself must be purified (given away).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nisab for cash and savings in Canada?
The nisab for cash depends on your madhab. The Hanafi school (predominant in Canada) uses the silver nisab. Use our calculator for the exact threshold in CAD.
Do I pay Zakat on my bank account?
Yes. All cash holdings including bank accounts, savings accounts, fixed deposits, and cash on hand are zakatable if the total exceeds nisab for one lunar year.
Is bank interest (riba) subject to Zakat?
The principal amount is zakatable. Bank interest is considered impermissible (riba) and should be purified — given away entirely to charity without expecting reward. Consult your local scholar.
Are debts deductible from my cash Zakat?
In the Hanafi school, debts due within 12 months are deductible from zakatable wealth. The Shafi'i school does not allow any debt deductions.
