Welcome to the AU home of ZakatSuite — the fast page for Zakat in Australia, priced throughout in AUD. Below: the Nisab in AUD at reference prices, a worked example in Australian dollar, the channels people in Australia actually pay through, what counts as zakatable wealth here, and the Ramadan 2027 dates. For the long-form guide with the full method, continue to the Australia Zakat guide after this page.
The arithmetic for Australia starts per gram: gold at AUD 116, silver at AUD 1, from reference prices of USD 76.42/g and USD 0.98/g at 1.52 AUD per dollar. So the thresholds a saver in Australia watches are AUD 912 (silver) and AUD 10,162 (gold). Both are indicative snapshots — the calculators fetch live prices the moment you use them, and Zakat law judges your wealth against the Nisab of your actual due date, not of the day you happened to read a web page.
Take a concrete case in Australia: a resident holds 250 grams of gold — worth about AUD 29,040 at the indicative per-gram price on this page — plus AUD 1,368 in savings. Combined zakatable wealth is AUD 30,408. That clears the Nisab comfortably and, after a full lunar year, the Zakat is 2.5% of the combined figure: AUD 760. Notice that the gold is not tested against the gold Nisab on its own here — in a mixed portfolio the assets are valued together in AUD and tested once, which is how the calculators on this page proceed.
In daily practice, most payers hand their Zakat over through a few familiar channels: payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers, community collection points and food banks during Ramadan and bank transfer to registered Zakat charities. What is owed was settled before any channel was chosen , the net figure against the AUD Nisab and the 2.5% rate — the channel only has to deliver that figure intact, to recipients who are genuinely eligible. For international giving, check the destination is a Zakat fund, not a general appeal, and keep the confirmation alongside the PDF report for that year.
What counts in Australia is what counts everywhere: cash in hand and in the bank, savings and deposits, gold and silver in any form, stock bought for resale, business inventory and receivables, investments and crypto at market value — all of it converted into AUD where necessary. What does not count: the house, the car, the furniture — as does wealth that is not genuinely yours or not accessible to you. Debts due now come off before the Nisab test; value in AUD, deduct what is due, test the net against the Nisab, and charge one-fortieth of the whole net figure once a lunar year has passed.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 across Australia, subject to the crescent's sighting and the announcement your community follows. Ramadan's last ten nights start at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, with Laylat al-Qadr sought on the odd nights (27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March) with the 27th night opening the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Day-by-day fasting times are listed in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Australia — Canberra; remember that Fitrana is due before the Eid prayer, not after it. In Canberra, day one runs from Fajr 04:55 to Maghrib 20:06. Other cities in Australia with their own calendars: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth — browse them all from the Ramadan 2027 timetables index.
At this page's reference price, AUD 10,162 — the value of 87.48 grams of gold at the reference AUD 116 per gram used on this page. It is a moving figure by design: and the calculator's live AUD value on your due date is the binding one. Of the two thresholds it is the higher, it is the relevant one for wealth held purely as gold under all schools.
For money-like wealth in Australia, start with silver (AUD 912) since it brings more wealth into the duty and directs more to the poor. Holdings that are gold and nothing else follow the gold Nisab under every school — the disagreement is only about money and mixed wealth. If your wealth sits between the two thresholds, the choice changes your duty, so it is worth a question to a scholar you trust — the calculator shows both figures so the conversation starts from real numbers.
On your own hawl date: the Hijri anniversary of the day your wealth first reached the Nisab. The lunar year is 354 days, in Gregorian terms the date arrives about eleven days sooner each year. If you pay in Ramadan for the multiplied reward, as many in Australia do, provided an earlier hawl is not left unpaid in the meantime; advance payment is valid, delay without excuse is not.
Yes — the channels listed above are exactly how most Zakat now leaves Australia, and online payment changes nothing about the duty itself. The conditions are the recipient must fall within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and ownership of the AUD amount must genuinely transfer to them or their agent. File the receipt with the calculation it settles; the same discipline applies if you also pay from Samoa on wealth held there, and keep both together for next year's reconciliation.
Every day's six times for the capital — Fajr to Isha — are tabulated on the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Australia, thirty rows for the capital, from the first Fajr on 8 February 2027 to the last Maghrib of the month. Capital times are the reference, not the last word — in a country in the Oceania region, local timetables adjust for where in Australia you actually fast.
