The 2026 Singapore fidyah rate is fixed at S$4.00 for each applicable missed fasting day.
Disclaimer: Estimate only; whether fidyah applies depends on your circumstances, so refer to current MUIS guidance or a qualified religious authority.
What Is a Fidyah Calculator Singapore?
The Fidyah Calculator Singapore estimates fidyah for applicable missed fasting days using the current published Singapore rate.
Enter the number of missed fasting days and select Calculate.
For 2026, the calculator uses a fidyah rate of S$4 for each applicable missed day.
The result is a planning estimate. The calculator cannot determine whether fidyah applies to your personal circumstances.
How to Use the Fidyah Calculator
Enter the number of applicable fasting days missed during Ramadan.
Check that the number is correct. Do not include a day merely because a fast was missed without first confirming the religious obligation that applies.
Select Calculate to see the estimated fidyah amount.
Use Reset before checking a different number of days.
The calculator does not ask for a custom rate because it uses the published 2026 Singapore rate of S$4 per day.
Fidyah Formula Used
The calculator uses this formula:
Total fidyah = Number of applicable missed fasting days × S$4
The S$4 rate represents the cost of one moderate meal in Singapore under the updated local methodology.
The calculator does not automatically add penalties, interest or a yearly multiplier.
Fidyah Calculation Example
Suppose a person has five applicable missed fasting days.
Enter:
- missed fasting days: 5; and
- 2026 fidyah rate: S$4 per day.
The calculation is:
5 × S$4 = S$20
The estimated fidyah amount is S$20.
This amount is correct only if all five days qualify for fidyah. The calculator cannot decide eligibility.
Singapore Fidyah Rate for 2026
The Singapore fidyah rate was updated to S$4 per applicable missed fasting day in 2026.
The revised method is based on the average cost of one moderate meal rather than the previous rice-based rate.
The official 2026 decision also states that compounded fidyah is no longer required by default. A person may still choose to contribute more voluntarily.
You can review the complete religious decision through MUIS.
The published rate can be reviewed again when food prices or economic conditions change. Check current guidance before relying on this page in a later year.
Who May Need to Pay Fidyah?
Fidyah commonly concerns a person who cannot fast and cannot make up the missed fasts because of circumstances such as chronic illness, old age or a prolonged health condition.
Other situations can have different requirements.
For example, illness, travel, pregnancy, breastfeeding or delaying a make-up fast may require individual consideration. The correct obligation can depend on whether the person is able to complete a replacement fast later and why it was delayed.
Do not use the calculator as an eligibility test. Ask an appropriately qualified religious authority when the situation is unclear.
Compounded Fidyah in Singapore
The 2026 Singapore fatwa removed the default requirement to compound fidyah when a missed fast was not replaced before a later Ramadan.
This means the calculator uses:
Applicable missed days × S$4
It does not multiply the amount by the number of years delayed.
The change provides relief where delays occurred because of valid reasons, lack of knowledge, forgetfulness or circumstances outside the person’s control.
Anyone who wishes to contribute more voluntarily may still do so, but that additional contribution is not automatically added by this calculator.
Fidyah and Kaffarah Are Different
Fidyah and kaffarah are separate religious obligations.
Fidyah normally concerns compensation where a person is unable to fast and unable to make up applicable missed days for recognised reasons.
Kaffarah can apply to particular violations of religious obligations or oaths. Its conditions and calculation can be different.
Do not use the fidyah result as a kaffarah calculation.
Fidyah Is Not a Restaurant Charge
The S$4 fidyah rate is connected to the cost of providing a moderate meal. It is not the price of a restaurant order after commercial charges.
Use the Singapore Service Charge and GST Calculator only for bills involving service charge and GST.
Restaurant GST and service charges should not be added to the fidyah formula shown on this page.
Fidyah and Estate Planning
An unpaid religious obligation may need careful consideration when administering a deceased person’s estate.
The Faraid Calculator Singapore can estimate the estate remaining after the user enters funeral expenses, debts and applicable religious obligations.
It does not decide whether fidyah is owed or calculate beneficiaries’ inheritance shares. Confirm the religious obligation and amount before entering it into an estate calculation.
Fidyah, Tax and Refunds
Fidyah is a religious obligation and not an income-tax calculation.
The Singapore Tax Calculator estimates personal income tax from the financial details entered. It does not calculate fidyah or decide whether a religious payment affects a tax assessment.
Similarly, the Singapore Tax Refund Calculator serves a different tax-planning purpose.
Do not assume that a fidyah payment automatically creates a tax deduction or refund.
Gold and Other Personal Assets
The amount of fidyah shown by this calculator depends on applicable missed days, not on the value of a person’s assets.
The Gold Price Calculator Singapore can estimate gold’s metal value for separate financial planning. A higher gold value does not change the calculator’s S$4-per-day fidyah formula.
Other Singapore-specific tools can be found on the Calculator Singapores homepage.
How to Make a Fidyah Payment
The calculator estimates an amount but does not collect or process payments.
Use official and authorised payment channels. Check the website address carefully before entering payment information, and avoid links received through suspicious messages.
Keep the payment confirmation or receipt for your records.
If the calculated amount or applicable number of days is uncertain, obtain guidance before paying.
Common Fidyah Calculation Mistakes
Avoid these common mistakes:
- using the old S$1.40 rate after the 2026 transition;
- entering all missed days without checking whether fidyah applies;
- multiplying the amount by every year of delay automatically;
- confusing fidyah with kaffarah;
- confusing fidyah with Zakat Fitrah;
- assuming this website is an official MUIS calculator;
- treating the estimate as a religious ruling; or
- making payment through an unauthorised website.
Always confirm both eligibility and the current rate.
