Free 15-transaction trial · One-time purchase · No bank sync

Every rupee, accounted for — your way.

Khata is a simple budgeting ledger with a real choice built in: track your money the standard way, or switch to Islamic mode for Zakat calculation and no-interest principles built into the same budget.

Why manual entry

No bank connection, on purpose

Most budgeting apps charge a subscription mainly to fund constant bank-syncing infrastructure. Khata skips that entirely — you enter transactions yourself, which keeps it free, keeps your data private, and keeps you actually paying attention to where your money goes.

Nothing connects to your bank

Your financial data never leaves Khata's database via a third-party sync service. You're in control of every entry.

Zero-based, either mode

Every rupee gets assigned a job — rent, savings, Zakat, whatever matters to you — instead of vaguely "left over."

Islamic mode is real, not cosmetic

Switching modes changes what the app actually calculates — Zakat on savings above Nisab — not just the color scheme.

Zakat basics

Two ways to measure the Nisab threshold

Khata's calculator lets you pick either standard — silver usually means more people qualify to give.

Au
87.48g of gold
The gold standard — a higher Nisab threshold, based on the traditional gold measure.
Ag
612.36g of silver
The silver standard — typically a lower threshold, recommended by many scholars for cash and savings.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Yes — the core ledger, budgeting, and Zakat calculator are free. See the pricing page for the full, honest breakdown.
No. Every transaction is entered manually. This is intentional — it keeps your financial data private and avoids the ongoing bank-sync costs that make other budgeting apps expensive.
No — it's a general estimate using the standard Nisab-and-2.5% formula. For your specific situation (business assets, agricultural produce, etc.), please confirm with a qualified local scholar.
Yes — Standard mode gives you the same zero-based budgeting ledger without any Zakat-specific features shown.
