How to calculate zakat
- Add up your cash, bank savings, gold and silver, and the value of business stock.
- Subtract debts that are currently due.
- Compare the total with the nisab: the value of 85 g of pure gold.
- If you reach the nisab and a full lunar year (hawl) has passed, pay 2.5%.
Example: SAR 100,000 held for a full Hijri year → zakat of SAR 2,500.

Zakat on jewellery that is worn
