How is stock zakat calculated?
The method depends on your intent: trading stocks (held to sell for profit) are zakated at 2.5% of full market value, while long-term holdings are zakated on the company's zakatable assets attributable to your shares — which many Saudi firms disclose as a per-share zakatable amount.
Frequently asked questions
How is zakat on stocks calculated?
For trading stocks (bought to sell), zakat is 2.5% of the full market value at the due date. For long-term holdings, zakat is due on the company's zakatable assets attributable to your shares (cash, receivables, inventory), not the full market value.
What is the zakat rate on stocks?
2.5% on a lunar (Hijri) year, or 2.5775% if calculated on a solar (Gregorian) year, since the solar year is longer.
Do long-term holdings owe zakat?
Yes, but on the company's zakatable assets attributable to your shares — not the full market value. Many Saudi companies disclose a per-share zakatable amount.
When is zakat on stocks due?
When your total wealth reaches the nisab and a full lunar year has passed, unless the company has already paid it on your behalf.
What is the nisab for stock zakat?
The nisab equals the value of 85 grams of gold. If your holdings plus other zakatable wealth reach it after a lunar year, zakat is due.
