Fidya (Fidyah) Calculator — How Much for One Missed Fast

What is Fidya?

Fidya (also spelled Fidyah) is compensation paid to feed the poor when someone is permanently unable to fast in Ramadan—typically due to extreme old age or chronic illness with no hope of recovery—and cannot make up the fasts later.

Use this free Fidya calculator to multiply missed fasts by your local rate (usually equal to two meals / Fitrana). Works for any currency (PKR, USD, GBP, EUR). Temporary illness, travel, pregnancy, or nursing generally require make-up fasts (Qada), not Fidya.

What is Fidya?

Fidya is the compensation paid for missed fasts in Ramadan.

  • Who Pays: Only those who are permanently unable to fast (e.g., due to extreme old age or chronic illness with no hope of recovery). If you are temporarily sick or traveling, you must make up the fasts later; Fidya does not apply.
  • How Much: The rate is equal to feeding one poor person two full meals for one day. This is generally equivalent to the Fitrana rate.

For example, enter 30 if you missed the entire month of Ramadan.

This is usually equivalent to the Fitrana rate (the cost of two meals for one person).
