How It Works

From bank balance to Zakat obligation in minutes

Mizan is the first Zakat calculator that connects to your bank accounts. No more guessing balances, forgetting accounts, or wondering which madhab rules apply.

01

Enter your assets (or connect your bank)

Start with the free calculator — enter your cash, gold, silver, investments, and debts across 10 categories. Or upgrade to Pro and connect your bank accounts through Plaid to pull real balances automatically.

The free calculator works without an account. Pro users can link checking, savings, investment, and retirement accounts from 12,000+ US financial institutions.

02

Choose your madhab

Select Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, or Hanbali. Each school has different rules for how certain assets are treated — Mizan applies them accurately so you don't have to memorize the differences.

For example, Hanafi scholars allow deducting a full year of debt from zakatable assets, while Shafi'i scholars only deduct debt against the specific asset it's tied to. Mizan handles these nuances automatically.

03

Ask the AI anything

Not sure if your 401(k) is zakatable? Wondering about Zakat on cryptocurrency? The AI assistant gives you plain-English answers grounded in Islamic scholarship — no jargon, no confusion.

Powered by Claude, the assistant explains the reasoning behind each ruling and offers to go deeper into the fiqh when you want it. It's like having a knowledgeable friend who studied Islamic finance.

04

Screen your investments

Pro users can check whether their stocks and ETFs are halal. Mizan analyzes revenue sources, debt ratios, and interest-bearing assets using AAOIFI-aligned methodology.

If a company earns a small percentage of non-compliant revenue, Mizan calculates the exact purification amount you should donate — separate from your Zakat.

05

Get your Zakat report

See exactly what you owe, broken down by category. Export a PDF for your records, save your calculation to compare year-over-year, or share with your spouse for household coordination.

Your report includes the nisab threshold used, your madhab's specific rules applied, and a breakdown of each asset category.

Bank-level security, always

Mizan uses Plaid — the same service behind Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. You log in through Plaid, not us. We never see your bank password. We can only read balances — we can't move money or make changes to your accounts.

Try it — it takes less than a minute

The free calculator works instantly. No account, no credit card.
