Zakat in Malta follows the same revelation as Zakat everywhere, written for payers who calculate and pay in EUR (Euro). Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Euro, local thresholds, a local worked example worth EUR 3,037 of savings, local payment channels and local Ramadan dates. 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.
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 0.92 EUR per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Malta is EUR 6,150 (87.48g × EUR 70 per gram) and the silver Nisab is EUR 552 (612.36g × EUR 1 per gram). Read them as the shape of the answer rather than its final digit: on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Euro. So the line that matters most in Malta 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 a small number of well-worn 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. Whichever route you choose, the wealth must reach recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in Malta: 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, file the confirmation with your PDF report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. Because community life in Malta runs in Maltese, English, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Malta as elsewhere, always subject to moon sighting which local announcements confirm. The closing ten nights begin with the Maghrib of 27 February 2027, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought 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. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Daily fasting times for Malta are gathered through the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Malta holds EUR 3,037 in cash and savings — some 5.5 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, so the Zakat due is 2.5% × EUR 3,037 = EUR 76. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in EUR first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
The short answer for Malta: gold stands at EUR 6,150 (87.48 grams of gold) and the silver threshold is EUR 552 for 612.36 grams of silver. They are priced from a gold gram at EUR 70 and EUR 1 for silver for Malta, converted at 0.92 EUR to the dollar. Markets move every day, so the live calculator gives the binding figure on your due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
For Malta, the money of the calculation is EUR (Euro). Balances in other currencies converts into EUR at the due-date rate and tested once, with the local total . The currency changes only the clothing of the numbers: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Start with the gross in EUR — balances, metals at today's price, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab — EUR 552 on the silver standard, or EUR 6,150 on the gold standard. If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients — EUR 76 on the EUR 3,037 example worked through above.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Malta: the duty is one sa' of local staple food — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — per household member. Scholars and councils in Malta publish the EUR figure every Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in EUR, not any international figure. It is paid for every member of the household, including children, 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.
