If you live in Nepal, or hold your wealth there, this is your starting page — Asia region, Nepalese rupee (NPR) as the money of the calculation, and a Muslim community whose main languages include Nepali. Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Nepalese rupee, local thresholds, a local worked example worth NPR 272,595 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 NPR on the day you actually calculate.
The two thresholds a payer in Nepal is judged against, at this guide's reference prices, are NPR 893,146 — the value of 87.48 grams of gold at NPR 10,210 per gram — and NPR 80,175, the value of 612.36 grams of silver at NPR 131 per gram, with the conversion running at 133.6 NPR per US dollar. Both are snapshots, not fixtures — on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Nepalese rupee. So the line that matters most in Nepal is the silver one, NPR 80,175: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
In daily practice, most Zakat is paid through the same short list of routes: 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, the wealth must reach recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Many households in Nepal the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Put the practical questions first: file the confirmation with your PDF report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in NPR on your statement.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Nepal, always subject to moon sighting which local announcements confirm. The closing ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, Laylat al-Qadr being sought on the odd nights — 27 February, then 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 Nepal are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and remember Fitrana falls due before the Eid prayer.
Take a saver in Nepal with NPR 272,595 held as cash and savings — some 3.4 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. It has passed the Nisab and sat for a full lunar year, making the Zakat NPR 6,815 at 2.5%. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in NPR first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
The short answer for Nepal: gold's Nisab is NPR 893,146 for 87.48 grams of gold with the silver Nisab at NPR 80,175 (612.36 grams of silver). Behind those figures sit a gold gram at NPR 10,210 and NPR 131 for silver in Nepal, at 133.6 NPR per US dollar. Prices move daily, so let the live calculator quote the threshold of your actual due date; most scholars recommend the silver Nisab for cash and savings.
Calculations for Nepal run in NPR — the Nepalese rupee. Foreign balances is converted into NPR using the rate on your Zakat date and added before the Nisab test . The currency changes only the clothing of the numbers: the same calculation a payer runs in Bhutan, settled here in Nepalese rupee.
Start with the gross in NPR — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock, investments and receivables. Take off the debts due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab in NPR — silver first (NPR 80,175). If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients : on savings of NPR 272,595, the example on this page, the payment is NPR 6,815.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Nepal: it is one sa' of staple — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — per household member. Councils in Nepal set the rate in NPR each year, and community announcements there are commonly made in Nepali. 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.
Regionally, Nepal is grouped with the rest of Asia; and its community languages are recorded as Nepali. The country code is NP, the short page lives at zakatsuite.com/np, while this long guide stays at the country address. The full set of 209 tools runs for Nepal in NPR, so nothing on the platform is closed to a payer here.
