Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a mandatory act of worship upon eligible Muslims. It purifies wealth, strengthens faith, and supports those in need.
Zakat is due on:
Cash savings
Bank balances
Gold and silver
Business assets and trade goods
The required amount is 2.5% (one-fortieth) of the total qualifying wealth.
Zakat becomes obligatory when your wealth reaches the Nisab and remains above it for one full lunar (Hijri) year.
The Nisab is equivalent to:
85 grams of pure gold
OR
595 grams of silver
To calculate Nisab in your currency:
Current price per gram × 85 (gold)
or
Current price per gram × 595 (silver)
📌 Example:
If the price of gold is $60 per gram:
85 × $60 = $5,100
If your savings equal or exceed $5,100 for one lunar year, Zakat is due.
Add up all your zakatable assets (cash, gold, savings, business inventory).
Subtract any immediate debts you owe.
If the remaining total meets or exceeds Nisab and one lunar year has passed, calculate 2.5%.
If you have $10,000 in savings:
$10,000 × 2.5% = $250 Zakat due
