Islamic Inheritance Calculator
Guidance and tools for estimating Shariah shares and related company registration fees. Use as an informational starting point—see the legal disclaimer below.
Overview
This page explains the purpose and limits of the TRW Islamic Inheritance Calculator. The tool helps estimate heirs’ shares under Sunni inheritance rules applicable in Bangladesh and provides a companion calculator for estimating government registration fees for a private limited company. It is not a substitute for legal advice or a court order.If you wish to use the live calculator, open the tool in a new tab: Open calculator.
How the calculator works (step-by-step)
- Select the deceased’s gender and indicate the estate value in BDT.
- Choose the heirs present (e.g., spouse, number of sons, daughters, parents, siblings).
- The estimator applies prescribed shares (faraid) and residual allocation rules to display each heir’s share and a short explanatory note.
- For company fees, enter the authorised/share capital and director count to receive an itemised government fee estimate—this is indicative and for planning only.
- Download or record the results for discussion with a lawyer. For legal filings (succession certificates, property mutation), consult an attorney.
