What's the zakat threshold? How do I calculate it today?
The Direct Answer: The Zakat Nisab equals 85 grams of pure gold (24 karat). Multiply today's 24-karat gram price by 85: if one gram is 5,000 EGP for example, the Nisab is 425,000 EGP. Anyone owning this amount (cash + gold + trade goods) after one Islamic year must pay 2.5% Zakat.
💡 Many overlook this: Nisab is calculated on your total Zakat-due assets combined (cash + accounts + savings gold + inventory), not on each separately.
