Cattle brackets: 30–39 → 1 tabi; 40–59 → 1 musinnah; 60–69 → 2 tabi; 70–79 → 1 musinnah + 1 tabi; 80+ → 2 musinnah. Below 40 sheep or 30 cattle, no zakat is due.

How to use the Livestock Zakat Calculator

Zakat on livestock follows fixed brackets, not a flat percentage: for example, 40–120 sheep means 1 sheep is due, and 30–39 cattle means one one-year-old calf (tabi) is due. This livestock zakat calculator for sheep and cattle heads turns those classical brackets into a simple tool — choose the bracket matching your flock size and it tells you exactly how many animals you owe, with the correct animal type for cattle.

  1. Count your sheep and goats, then select the matching range in the Sheep / goats dropdown.
  2. Count your cattle (cows, bulls, buffaloes) and select the matching range in the Cattle dropdown.
  3. Click Calculate to see how many sheep and how many cattle are due as zakat.
  4. For cattle, read the bracket label — it tells you whether a tabi (1-year calf) or musinnah (2-year cow) is required.

Formula

Sheep brackets: 40–120 → 1 head; 121–200 → 2; 201–300 → 3; then 1 per 100. Cattle brackets: 30–39 → 1 tabi; 40–59 → 1 musinnah; 60–69 → 2 tabi; 70–79 → 1 musinnah + 1 tabi; 80+ → 2 musinnah. Below 40 sheep or 30 cattle, no zakat is due.

Worked example

A farmer with 150 sheep selects the 121–200 bracket and owes 2 sheep. With 45 cattle he selects 40–59 and owes 1 musinnah (a two-year-old cow). A neighbor with only 25 sheep selects below nisab and owes nothing this year.
