Introduction

Ushr is the Islamic obligation on agricultural produce, similar to Zakat on wealth. It is due on crops harvested from land owned by a Muslim. The rate depends on how the land is irrigated: 10% if watered naturally (rain, streams) without cost, and 5% if irrigated artificially with cost (tube wells, purchased water)[citation:7]. Ushr becomes due when the produce reaches the Nisab threshold of 948 kg[citation:7].

What is this calculator?

The Ushr Calculator Pakistan is a tool for farmers and landowners to calculate their Ushr obligation based on their crop produce. It accounts for the irrigation method to apply the correct rate (5% or 10%) and checks against the Nisab threshold of 948 kg.

How the calculation works

You enter either the total value (PKR) or total weight (kg) of your produce. The calculator applies the applicable Ushr rate (10% or 5%) based on your irrigation method. If you enter weight, it checks whether the produce meets the 948 kg Nisab threshold.

Formula

Ushr = Total Produce Value × Rate (10% or 5%)

Or, if calculating in weight: Ushr Weight = Total Weight × Rate

Important terms

Ushr: Islamic tithe on agricultural produce.
Nisab: Minimum produce weight (948 kg) on which Ushr is due.
Natural Irrigation: Water from rain, rivers, or springs without cost — Ushr is 10%.
Artificial Irrigation: Water from tube wells, canals, or purchased water with cost — Ushr is 5%.

How to use the calculator

Select the input type (Value in PKR or Weight in kg).
Enter the total produce value or weight.
Select the irrigation method (Natural or Artificial).
Click Calculate Ushr.

Practical Pakistan-specific example

Example 1: Wheat crop worth Rs. 995,400, irrigated by rain

Rate: 10% (natural irrigation)
Ushr = Rs. 995,400 × 10% = Rs. 99,540[citation:7]

Example 2: Mangoes worth Rs. 73,500, irrigated by tube well

Rate: 5% (artificial irrigation)
Ushr = Rs. 73,500 × 5% = Rs. 3,675[citation:7]

Factors affecting the result

Irrigation method: Determines whether 10% or 5% applies.
Produce weight: Must meet 948 kg Nisab for Ushr to be due.
Crop value: Market price at harvest determines the value-based calculation.

Common mistakes

Using the wrong rate for the irrigation method.
Forgetting the 948 kg Nisab threshold.
Calculating on net profit instead of gross produce.

Important rules or limitations

Ushr is due only if produce meets the 948 kg Nisab[citation:7].
Rate is 10% for natural irrigation, 5% for artificial irrigation.
Ushr is due at harvest time, not after storage or sale.

Who can use the calculator

Farmers: Calculating Ushr on crop harvest.
Landowners: Fulfilling Islamic obligation on agricultural income.
Agricultural businesses: Ensuring compliance with religious dues.

Benefits of using the calculator

Accurate calculation based on Islamic rules.
Saves time and avoids manual errors.
Ensures proper fulfillment of religious obligation.

Relevant Pakistan-specific information

Ushr is governed by Islamic principles and is commonly practiced in agricultural communities across Pakistan. The Nisab of 948 kg is based on the weight of the produce, and the rate depends on irrigation method[citation:7].

Official-source explanation

Ushr rules are derived from Islamic jurisprudence. No government body announces rates, as they are fixed in Shariah. The Nisab of 948 kg is the standard threshold used in Islamic texts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ushr is the Islamic tithe on agricultural produce, similar to Zakat on wealth. It is due on crops harvested from land owned by a Muslim.

The rate is 10% if the land is irrigated by natural means (rain, rivers, springs) without cost. It is 5% if irrigated artificially (tube wells, purchased water) with cost.

The Nisab for agricultural produce is 948 kg. If the produce is less than this amount, no Ushr is due.

Ushr becomes due at the time of harvest, not after storage or sale. It should be calculated on the total produce.

If the wheat is worth Rs. 995,400 and irrigated by rain, Ushr = Rs. 995,400 × 10% = Rs. 99,540. If irrigated by tube well, Ushr = Rs. 995,400 × 5% = Rs. 49,770.

Ushr is due on crops that are stored and measurable, such as wheat, rice, dates, and raisins. Perishable produce is generally exempt.

No, Ushr is calculated on the gross produce value or weight, not on net profit after expenses.

If your total produce is below the Nisab of 948 kg, no Ushr is due.

Ushr can be paid in kind (produce) or in cash equivalent. Many farmers pay in cash for convenience.

Ushr should be distributed to the same categories eligible for Zakat: the poor, needy, and other specified groups.

Ushr is due on the produce from the land. The obligation falls on the owner of the produce, which may be the tenant or landowner depending on the agreement.

Ushr is a tithe on agricultural produce (5% or 10%). Khums is one-fifth (20%) of certain types of wealth, including spoils of war and some mineral resources.

No, Ushr and Zakat are separate obligations. Ushr is on agricultural produce; Zakat is on savings, gold, silver, and business wealth.

Ushr can be calculated on either the market value of the produce or the weight. The rate is the same (10% or 5%) regardless of the unit.

If land is irrigated by both methods, scholars recommend calculating proportionally or using the predominant method. Consult a scholar for specific cases.
