This estimator multiplies confirmed feeding expiations by 60 people and your chosen per-person rate. It does not decide whether kaffarah applies, whether feeding is permitted in your case or how many expiations are owed.

Enter the current rate from the provider you will use.

Enter a whole number of expiations and the per-person feeding cost published by the organisation you will pay through.

The calculation is confirmed expiations × 60 people × the feeding rate. It does not decide how many expiations you owe or whether feeding is an available option.
