Zakat minus Expenses

I do the same way too. Also, till my wife was in school, we calculated zakat as a family. Now that she is working we do it separately.

I have been using a spreadsheet to do the estimations by one Br. Arif Jameel. I can share it with you all, but it uses this approximation method. If br psyah comes up with a better one, I would like a copy too.

I just go with method I mentioned since it makes things simpler and sure, I might end up overpaying zakat by a little but that’s no problem. Better to give slightly more than less than what I owe. My brother had prepared me a spreadsheet sometime ago. But when it comes to savings, I can quickly do that myself. The spreadsheet was more to figure out how much we owe for my wife jewelry.
