This page is the complete Zakat guide for Finland, for Zakat calculated and paid in EUR. This page translates the universal rules into that local reality: the gold and silver Nisab expressed in Euro, how giving is usually organised in Finland, what Ramadan 2027 will look like, and the calculators that do the arithmetic for you. 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.
The two thresholds a payer in Finland is judged against, at this guide's reference prices, are EUR 6,150 — the value of 87.48 grams of gold at EUR 70 per gram — and EUR 552, the value of 612.36 grams of silver at EUR 1 per gram, with the conversion running at 0.92 EUR per US dollar. Both are snapshots, not fixtures — the EUR rate and the metal markets move daily, which is why the calculator reprices the thresholds at the moment of use. On the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash, a payer in Finland whose net savings pass EUR 552 for a full lunar year owes 2.5% of the total.
In daily practice, most payers hand their Zakat over through a few familiar channels: community collection points and food banks during Ramadan, bank transfer to registered Zakat charities and local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community. Whatever the channel, Zakat must actually reach people within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, with ownership genuinely passing to them (tamlik). Many households in Finland settle the calculation at home first — often on a fixed Ramadan date — and then distribute through two or three trusted channels rather than one. Put the practical questions first: keep your payment receipt with your calculation report, and check whether administration costs come out of the Zakat itself where an organisation deducts them. Because community life in Finland runs in Finnish, Swedish, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 is planned from Monday 8 February 2027 for Finland as for most of the world, subject to the sighting of the new moon which local announcements confirm. The last ten nights begin from Maghrib on 27 February, the search for Laylat al-Qadr falling on the odd nights (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, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Sehri and Iftar times across Finland are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Finland holds EUR 2,816 held as cash and savings — some 5.1 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. Above the Nisab and held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: EUR 70. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same EUR total before the 2.5% is applied.
At this page's reference prices, the gold threshold is EUR 6,150 (87.48 grams of gold) and the silver Nisab is EUR 552 for 612.36 grams of silver. Those conversions rest on per-gram values of EUR 70 for gold and silver at EUR 1 the gram for Finland, converted at 0.92 EUR to the dollar. Both metals trade daily, so check the live calculator for the exact threshold on your Zakat date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
For Finland, the money of the calculation is EUR, the Euro. Money held abroad is brought into EUR at the due-date rate then judged with everything else . The rules themselves do not change with the currency: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Add up everything zakatable you own in EUR — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock bought for resale, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab — start with the silver figure, EUR 552. Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients — the worked example on this page turns EUR 2,816 of net savings into EUR 70 of Zakat.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Finland: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — per person. Scholars and councils in Finland announce the EUR rate each Ramadan, with announcements commonly made in Finnish, Swedish. The count is per person, including children, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
On ZakatSuite, Finland sits in the Europe region with community languages Finnish, Swedish. The country code is FI, and the short version of this page is at zakatsuite.com/fi. The full set of 209 tools runs for Finland in EUR, with PDF reports for the record.
