This page is the complete Zakat guide for Bolivia, Americas region, Bolivian boliviano (BOB) as the money of the calculation, and a Muslim community whose main languages include Spanish, Quechua, Aymara. Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Bolivian boliviano, the way Zakat is commonly paid in Bolivia, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. The calculators linked here run in your browser, free, with the Nisab converted into BOB at live metal prices rather than printed from a table that went stale last month.
Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 6.91 BOB to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth BOB 528 in Bolivia and one gram of silver BOB 7. The thresholds those prices produce are BOB 46,195 for gold (87.48g) and BOB 4,147 for silver (612.36g). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Bolivian boliviano. The practical consequence in Bolivia: net savings that pass BOB 4,147 and stay there for a lunar year are zakatable at 2.5% under the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash.
As a rule, the Zakat of most households leaves through a few familiar channels: bank transfer to registered Zakat charities, local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community and mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan. Whatever the channel, delivery must be to recipients within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Many households in Bolivia calculate at home first, often against a fixed Ramadan date, then spread the payment over two or three trusted channels. Ask distributors how the money is separated, keep the receipt beside your calculation report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. In Bolivia, community life runs in Spanish, Quechua, Aymara, so instructions left with family should be in the language they actually use.
The Ramadan of 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Bolivia as elsewhere, always subject to moon sighting and the announcement followed locally. The final ten nights open from Maghrib on 27 February, Laylat al-Qadr being sought on the odd nights that open on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March the likeliest, the 27th, opening on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Sehri and Iftar times across Bolivia are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Bolivia holds BOB 14,099 in cash and savings — some 3.4 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. Above the Nisab and held for a full lunar year, making the Zakat BOB 352 at 2.5%. Gold, business stock or foreign currency would be added in BOB first, with the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
Indicatively, the gold threshold is BOB 46,195 (87.48 grams of gold) and silver's is BOB 4,147 (612.36 grams of silver). They are priced from gold at BOB 528 the gram and a silver gram at BOB 7 for Bolivia, converted at 6.91 BOB to the dollar. Since prices shift daily, so let the live calculator quote the binding figure on your due date; most scholars recommend the silver Nisab for cash and savings.
Calculations for Bolivia run in BOB — the Bolivian boliviano. Wealth held in other currencies is converted into BOB at the due-date rate and added to the total before the Nisab test . Method is portable; money is local: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Bolivia to everywhere else.
Total the zakatable side in BOB — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock, investments and receivables. Deduct debts that are due now, and test what remains against the Nisab in BOB — silver first (BOB 4,147). Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, is charged at 2.5% of the whole amount — BOB 352 on the BOB 14,099 example worked through above.
Fitrana follows the food, not the calculator: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — for each person. Local scholars and councils publish the BOB figure every Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in BOB, not any international figure. Every household member counts, children included, and deliver it before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
