Cyprus at a glance for the Zakat payer: written for payers who calculate and pay in EUR (Euro). It brings together the Nisab in your currency — EUR 552 on the silver standard and EUR 6,150 on the gold standard, indicatively — practical notes on paying Zakat in Cyprus, a step-by-step method, a worked example with real EUR figures, and answers to the questions payers in Cyprus ask most. 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 Cyprus 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). Treat both figures as indicative: on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Euro. So the line that matters most in Cyprus 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 Cyprus today, the Zakat of most households leaves through a small number of well-worn channels: payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers, community collection points and food banks during Ramadan and bank transfer to registered Zakat charities. Whatever the channel, delivery must be to recipients inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Many households in Cyprus the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Ask any intermediary how they distribute, file the confirmation with your PDF report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. In Cyprus, community life runs in Greek, Turkish, 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 Cyprus, pending the sighted crescent and your community's announcement. Ramadan's last ten nights start from Maghrib on 27 February, the search for Laylat al-Qadr falling on the odd nights (27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March) with the 27th night opening the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Sehri and Iftar times across Cyprus are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Cyprus holds EUR 2,374 held as cash and savings , roughly 4.3 times the silver Nisab, and no debts due. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: EUR 59. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same EUR total before the 2.5% is applied.
The short answer for Cyprus: gold stands at EUR 6,150 — 87.48 grams of gold — and silver's is EUR 552 (612.36 grams of silver). They are priced from a gold gram at EUR 70 and silver at EUR 1 the gram in Cyprus at the 0.92 EUR reference rate. Prices move daily, so let the live calculator quote the threshold of your actual due date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
For Cyprus, the money of the calculation is EUR — the Euro. Foreign balances are converted into EUR at the due-date rate and tested once, with the local total — a balance kept in Monaco, for example, enters at its EUR value on that date, not at the rate from when it was earned. The rules themselves do not change with the currency: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Start with the gross in EUR — cash and savings, metals priced today, stock, investments and receivables. Deduct debts that are due now, and test what remains against the Nisab in EUR — silver first (EUR 552). If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients — EUR 59 on the EUR 2,374 example worked through above.
Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr) is not a fixed ZakatSuite figure: the duty is one sa' of local staple food — some 2–3 kilograms of wheat, rice, flour or dates — per person. Councils in Cyprus publish the EUR figure every Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in EUR, not any international figure. Every household member counts, children included, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
