Today's nisab
Nisab is the minimum wealth on which zakat is due: 87.48 g (7.5 tola) of gold or 612.36 g (52.5 tola) of silver. Many scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower, so more people pay and the poor benefit more.

How zakat is calculated
- Add up your zakatable wealth: gold and silver (by their gold or silver content), cash at home and in the bank, savings, investments and business stock, and money others owe you that you expect to get back.
- Subtract debts and bills that are due now.
- If the total is at or above the nisab and you have held it for one lunar year (hawl), zakat is 2.5% of the total.
Points where scholars differ
- Jewellery for personal use: the Hanafi school counts it as zakatable; the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools generally exempt jewellery worn in normal amounts.
- Gold or silver nisab: both are valid opinions; choose with the guidance of a scholar you trust.
- Debts: views differ on long-term debts such as a mortgage; many deduct only what is due within the year.
