If you live in Austria, or hold your wealth there, this is your starting page — Europe region, Euro (EUR) as the money of the calculation, and a Muslim community whose main languages include German. Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Euro, the way Zakat is commonly paid in Austria, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. Everything is free, and the calculators linked from this page run in your browser with live prices, converting the thresholds into EUR on the day you actually calculate.
Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 0.92 EUR to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth EUR 70 in Austria and one gram of silver EUR 1. The thresholds those prices produce are EUR 6,150 for gold (87.48g) and EUR 552 for silver (612.36g). Read them as the shape of the answer rather than its final digit: metal prices and exchange rates move every day, and the live calculator on this site fetches current prices before it tests your wealth. So the line that matters most in Austria is the silver one, EUR 552: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
In practice, the Zakat of most households leaves through the same short list of routes: local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community, mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan and charity platforms and mobile giving apps. The channel matters less than the conditions: the money has to arrive with recipients within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, with ownership genuinely passing to them (tamlik). Plenty of households here settle the calculation at home first — often on a fixed Ramadan date — and then distribute through two or three trusted channels rather than one. Ask distributors how the money is separated, keep your payment receipt with your calculation report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. Because community life in Austria runs in German, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Austria as elsewhere, subject to the crescent's sighting which local announcements confirm. Ramadan's last ten nights start with the Maghrib of 27 February 2027, Laylat al-Qadr being 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, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. In the capital, Vienna, the opening fast runs from Fajr at 05:27 to Maghrib at 17:05, and every day of the month is set out in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Austria — Vienna.
Suppose a saver in Austria holds EUR 3,202 in cash and savings — about 5.8 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, so 2.5% is due: EUR 80. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in EUR first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
Indicatively, gold stands at EUR 6,150 (87.48 grams of gold) with the silver Nisab at EUR 552 for 612.36 grams of silver. Behind those figures sit gold at EUR 70 the gram and a silver gram at EUR 1 in Austria at the 0.92 EUR reference rate. Since prices shift daily, so use the live calculator for the exact threshold on your Zakat date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
Calculations for Austria run in EUR, the Euro. Foreign balances are converted into EUR at your due date's rate and added before the Nisab test . The rules themselves do not change with the currency: the same calculation a payer runs in Monaco, settled here in Euro.
Work in EUR throughout: cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Deduct debts that are due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab in EUR — silver first (EUR 552). If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pays one-fortieth of the net total — the worked example on this page turns EUR 3,202 of net savings into EUR 80 of Zakat.
No fixed figure exists for Austria: Fitrana is one sa' of the local staple (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) per person. Local scholars and councils publish the EUR figure every Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in German. Every household member counts, children included, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. Enter the announced EUR rate in the Fitrana calculator and it totals the household's duty.
