Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is an obligatory act of charity that purifies wealth and supports those in need. Determining whether one is required to pay Zakat involves understanding the concept of Nisab, the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before being liable to pay Zakat.
What is Nisab?
Nisab is the threshold amount that a Muslim’s net worth must exceed before they are required to pay Zakat. This threshold is based on the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. For 2024, the Nisab value for gold is approximately $5,300, while for silver, it is around $500. Muslims who possess wealth (assets minus liabilities) above this amount for a lunar year must pay Zakat, which is typically 2.5% of their total wealth.
How to Calculate Your Zakat
Calculating Zakat involves assessing all forms of wealth, including cash, savings, investments, gold, silver, and business commodities, and then deducting any liabilities such as debts. Once the net total exceeds the Nisab threshold, 2.5% of this wealth is given as Zakat.
Embrace Relief offers an easy-to-use Zakat calculator on our website, allowing you to accurately determine your Zakat obligation. This tool simplifies the process, ensuring you fulfill your religious duty correctly.
