Zakat al-Fitr (fitrana) is due on every member of the household — including children and newborns — before the Eid prayer, usually given as about 2.5 kg of staple food per person or its cash value. This zakat al fitr calculator per person in kg multiplies your family size by the per-person quantity and, if you enter the local staple price, converts the total into rupees so you know exactly how much to set aside.
