Ushr Calculator
Work out Ushr, the zakat due on crops and fruit at harvest: 10% from rain-fed land or 5% from land you irrigate, in kilograms or cash.
The crop's weight after harvesting and threshing.
If one method waters the crop for most of the season, choose that one. Canal water you pay abiana for is treated as paid irrigation (5%) by many Pakistani muftis; canal water you don't pay for counts as natural flow (10%). Some scholars treat all flowing canal water as 10%; ask your mufti.
About 653 kg is 5 wasq on the majority's sa'. Pakistan's Zakat and Ushr law uses 948 kg of wheat, on the Hanafi sa'.

How it's worked out
- Ushr
4,000 kg × 5%200 kg
- Ushr is due at harvest on the gross crop; most Hanafi scholars don't deduct farming costs, though some do deduct certain expenses. Ask your scholar for your case.
- Pakistan's provincial Zakat and Ushr Acts collect a compulsory 5% on all land, exempt harvests under 948 kg of wheat, and leave the extra 5% on rain-fed land to the farmer.
How Ushr is worked out
Ushr = harvest × 10% (rain-fed) or 5% (paid irrigation, or an equal mix in the Hanafi school)
If the crop is watered both ways, the method used for most of the season decides. If the two are exactly equal, the Hanafi school gives 5%, as the higher rate isn't certain. The Shafi'i and Hanbali schools give 7.5%; choose "Equal mix, Shafi'i and Hanbali" to use that.
Worked example
A tube-well irrigated wheat harvest of 4,000 kg owes 5%: 200 kg. If the same land were rain-fed, Ushr would be 10%: 400 kg, or Rs 40,000 at Rs 100 a kg.
Questions people ask
What is the Ushr rate?
A tenth (10%) of the harvest from land watered by rain, rivers or springs, and a twentieth (5%) from land the farmer irrigates at a cost, such as with a tube well. If it's watered both ways, the method used for most of the season decides. If exactly equal, the Hanafi school gives 5% (Radd al-Muhtar) and the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools 7.5%.
Is there a minimum harvest for Ushr?
Imam Abu Hanifa held that Ushr is due on any amount, and the Hanafi fatwa follows him. Imams Abu Yusuf and Muhammad and the other schools set a minimum of five wasq, based on a hadith in Bukhari and Muslim. That is about 653 kg on the majority's sa'. Pakistan's Zakat and Ushr law uses 948 kg of wheat, on the Hanafi sa'.
Is canal water 10% or 5%?
Canal water you pay abiana for is treated as paid irrigation (5%) by many Pakistani muftis. Canal water you don't pay for counts as natural flow (10%). Some scholars treat all flowing canal water as 10%; ask your mufti.
What does Pakistan's law collect?
Pakistan's provincial Zakat and Ushr Acts collect a compulsory 5% on all land, exempt harvests under 948 kg of wheat, and leave the extra 5% on rain-fed land to the farmer.
Can farming costs be deducted?
Most Hanafi scholars say no: Ushr is on the gross harvest, and the lower 5% rate already allows for the cost of watering. Some scholars allow certain costs to be deducted. Ask your scholar.
Can I pay Ushr in cash?
Many scholars allow paying the crop's value at the local price. Enter the price per kg to see the cash amount.
