Number of Family Members / Missed Fasts *

Introduction

Sadaqat-ul-Fitr, commonly known as Fitrana, is an obligatory charity for every financially capable Muslim at the end of Ramadan. It must be paid before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer. Fidya, on the other hand, is a compensation paid by those who cannot fast due to illness, travel, or other valid reasons and cannot make up the fasts later. For Ramadan 2026, the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has announced the official rates based on different food staples[citation:6].

What is this calculator?

This calculator computes your total Fitrana and Fidya obligations based on the 2026 official rates. It accounts for your family size (for Fitrana) and the number of missed fasts (for Fidya), allowing you to select the food staple that best represents your circumstances.

How the calculation works

The CII has fixed different amounts based on the staple food. For Fitrana, the per-person rate is multiplied by the number of eligible family members. For Fidya, the per-day rate for the selected staple is multiplied by the number of missed fasts.

Formula

Total Fitrana = Per-Person Rate (by staple) × Number of Family Members

Total Fidya = Per-Day Rate (by staple) × Number of Missed Fasts

Important terms

Sadaqat-ul-Fitr (Fitrana): Obligatory charity at the end of Ramadan, due before Eid prayer.
Fidya: Compensation for missed fasts that cannot be made up later.
Nisab: The minimum wealth threshold that makes Fitrana obligatory.

Select the food staple (wheat flour, barley, dates, raisins, or dried grapes).

Practical Pakistan-specific example

Example 1: Family of 5, paying Fitrana based on dates

Per-person rate (dates): Rs. 1,600[citation:6]
Total Fitrana = Rs. 1,600 × 5 = Rs. 8,000

Example 2: Missed 10 fasts, paying Fidya based on wheat

Per-day rate (wheat): Rs. 200[citation:6]
