Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 2.7 XCD to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth XCD 206 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and one gram of silver XCD 3. The thresholds those prices produce are XCD 18,050 for gold (87.48g) and XCD 1,620 for silver (612.36g). 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. The practical consequence in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: net savings that pass XCD 1,620 and stay there for a lunar year are zakatable at 2.5% under the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash.
In daily practice, payers settle their Zakat through a few familiar channels: local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community, mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan and charity platforms and mobile giving apps. On every route, Zakat must actually reach people whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Ask distributors how the money is separated, keep the receipt beside your calculation report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in XCD on your statement.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as elsewhere, pending the sighted crescent and the announcement your community follows. 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) with the 27th night opening the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Sehri and Iftar times across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, with Fitrana due before the Eid prayer, not after it.
Suppose a saver in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines holds XCD 6,481 across cash and savings accounts — about 4.0 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. It has passed the Nisab and sat for a full lunar year, making the Zakat XCD 162 at 2.5%. If the same saver also held gold, business stock or foreign currency, those values would be added in XCD first and the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
On reference prices, the gold Nisab is XCD 18,050 (87.48 grams of gold) with the silver Nisab at XCD 1,620 for 612.36 grams of silver. The working behind them: per-gram values of XCD 206 for gold and XCD 3 for silver for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, converted at 2.7 XCD to the dollar. Since prices shift daily, so the live calculator gives the binding figure on your due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
Zakat in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is calculated in XCD, the East Caribbean dollar. Balances in other currencies converts into XCD at the rate of your Zakat due date and added to the total before the Nisab test — a balance kept in Guatemala, for example, enters at its XCD value on that date, not at the rate from when it was earned. The rules themselves do not change with the currency: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to everywhere else.
Add up everything zakatable you own in XCD — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock, investments and receivables. Net off debts due, then compare the net figure with the Nisab — start with the silver figure, XCD 1,620. A net figure over the threshold, held a full hawl, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients — XCD 162 on the XCD 6,481 example worked through above.

It is paid for every member of the household, including children, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer.
