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 0.78 GBP per US dollar — the gold Nisab in United Kingdom is GBP 5,214 (87.48g × GBP 60 per gram) and the silver Nisab is GBP 468 (612.36g × GBP 1 per gram). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — metal prices and exchange rates move every day, and the live calculator on this site fetches current prices before it tests your wealth. So the line that matters most in United Kingdom is the silver one, GBP 468: 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, the Zakat of most households leaves through the same short list of routes: charity platforms and mobile giving apps, payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers and community collection points and food banks during Ramadan. Whatever the channel, the money has to arrive with recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in United Kingdom: the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Ask distributors how the money is separated, file the confirmation with your PDF report, and check whether administration costs come out of the Zakat itself where an organisation deducts them. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in GBP on your statement.
Ramadan 1448 AH is planned from Monday 8 February 2027 across United Kingdom, subject to the crescent's sighting and the announcement your community follows. The final ten nights open from Maghrib on 27 February, Laylat al-Qadr being 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. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For London, day one runs between Fajr 05:34 and Maghrib 17:02, and every day of the month is set out in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for United Kingdom — London. Other cities in United Kingdom with their own calendars: Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Glasgow — browse them all from the Ramadan 2027 timetables index.
Imagine savings in United Kingdom of GBP 1,311 held as cash and savings — about 2.8 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. It has passed the Nisab and sat for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: GBP 33. If the same saver also held gold, business stock or foreign currency, those values would be added in GBP first and the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
At this page's reference prices, gold's Nisab is GBP 5,214 (87.48 grams of gold) and the silver Nisab is GBP 468 — 612.36 grams of silver. Those conversions rest on a gold gram at GBP 60 and silver at GBP 1 the gram in United Kingdom, at 0.78 GBP per US dollar. Markets move every day, so check the live calculator for the threshold of your actual due date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
The working currency for United Kingdom is GBP — the Pound sterling. Foreign balances are converted into GBP at the rate of your Zakat due date and added before the Nisab test . The currency changes only the clothing of the numbers: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Work in GBP throughout: balances, metals at today's price, stock, investments and receivables. Take off the debts due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab — start with the silver figure, GBP 468. A net figure over the threshold, held a full hawl, pays one-fortieth of the net total — GBP 33 on the GBP 1,311 example worked through above.
Fitrana follows the food, not the calculator: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food — some 2–3 kilograms of wheat, rice, flour or dates — for each person. Scholars and councils in United Kingdom publish the GBP figure every Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in English. 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.
