What is the current Zakat nisab in the UK? Updated gold and silver nisab values to help you determine if Zakat is due.
Zakat Nisab UK 2026
Zakat becomes due only after you meet the Nisab. Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth you must hold for one lunar year before Zakat is obligatory. Knowing the current Nisab in the UK for 2026 helps you decide if Zakat applies and when to calculate.
There are two Nisab measures. Gold Nisab and silver Nisab. Gold Nisab equals the value of 87.48 grams of gold. Silver Nisab equals the value of 612.36 grams of silver. Prices change daily. This means the Nisab value also changes. Using updated UK prices keeps your calculation accurate.
Many scholars advise using the silver Nisab. The silver threshold is lower. This means more people qualify to pay Zakat and more people in need receive support. Some choose the gold Nisab based on personal circumstances. Consistency matters. Choose one method and apply it each year.
You meet the Nisab if your total Zakatable assets stay above the chosen threshold for one full lunar year. Zakatable assets include cash, bank savings, gold, silver, shares, investments, business assets, rental income held as cash, and money owed to you. Personal items do not count. Your home. Your car. Clothing. Furniture. These are excluded. Short term debts due within the year reduce your total.
Once your net assets remain above Nisab for a lunar year, Zakat becomes due at 2.5 percent. The Zakat date stays the same each year. Asset values may rise or fall. Recalculate annually using current Nisab values to stay accurate.
