Kiribati at a glance for the Zakat payer: for Zakat calculated and paid in AUD. It brings together the Nisab in your currency — AUD 912 on the silver standard and AUD 10,162 on the gold standard, indicatively — the gold and silver Nisab expressed in Australian dollar, how giving is usually organised in Kiribati, what Ramadan 2027 will look like, and the calculators that do the arithmetic for you. Kiribati sits in the Oceania region, and the main languages of its Muslim community include English, Gilbertese — the rules below are the universal Shariah rules, expressed entirely in local terms.
At the reference prices used for this guide — gold at USD 76.42 per gram and silver at USD 0.98 per gram, converted at 1.52 AUD per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Kiribati is AUD 10,162 (87.48g × AUD 116 per gram) and the silver Nisab is AUD 912 (612.36g × AUD 1 per gram). 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. On the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash, a payer in Kiribati whose net savings pass AUD 912 for a full lunar year owes 2.5% of the total.
In daily practice, the Zakat of most households leaves through a small number of well-worn 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. The channel matters less than the conditions: delivery must be to recipients inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, with ownership genuinely passing to them (tamlik). Many households in Kiribati 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 any intermediary how they distribute, 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 Kiribati runs in English, Gilbertese, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
The Ramadan of 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 for Kiribati as for most of the world, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the announcement your community follows. The final ten nights open from Maghrib on 27 February, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights — 27 February, then 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — and the 27th night falling on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The last fast is expected on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For daily times in Kiribati, use the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
A resident of Kiribati holding AUD 3,466 held as cash and savings — some 3.8 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, making the Zakat AUD 87 at 2.5%. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in AUD first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
Indicatively, gold's Nisab is AUD 10,162 (87.48 grams of gold) and the silver Nisab is AUD 912 (612.36 grams of silver). They are priced from per-gram values of AUD 116 for gold and AUD 1 for silver for Kiribati, converted at 1.52 AUD to the dollar. Prices move daily, so the live calculator gives the threshold of your actual due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
The working currency for Kiribati is AUD — the Australian dollar. Foreign balances is converted into AUD at the due-date rate and added before the Nisab test . The currency changes only the clothing of the numbers: the same calculation a payer runs in Solomon Islands, settled here in Australian dollar.
Work in AUD throughout: cash and savings, metals priced today, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Deduct debts that are due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab — start with the silver figure, AUD 912. Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, is charged at 2.5% of the whole amount : on savings of AUD 3,466, the example on this page, the payment is AUD 87.
No fixed figure exists for Kiribati: Fitrana is one sa' of the local staple — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — for each person. Local scholars and councils announce the AUD rate each Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in AUD, not any international figure. Every household member counts, children included, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator multiplies Kiribati's announced rate by your household size so nobody is missed.
