Indonesia at a glance for Zakat payers: currency IDR (Indonesian rupiah), region Asia, community languages Indonesian. Everything here is in IDR: the Nisab converted at reference metal prices, an example calculation in Indonesian rupiah, the usual ways people pay in Indonesia, and Ramadan 2027 with its timetable links. The full guide version of this page, with the step-by-step method, is the Zakat calculator guide for Indonesia.
At this page's reference prices — IDR 1,238,004 per gram of gold and IDR 15,876 per gram of silver, converted at 16200 IDR per dollar — the two weights price out as follows for Indonesia. Multiply up: 87.48 grams of gold puts the gold Nisab at IDR 108,300,590, and 612.36 grams of silver puts the silver Nisab at IDR 9,721,827. Treat the pair as today's guide figures; on the due date itself, the live IDR values inside the calculators are the ones that count.
Take a concrete case in Indonesia: a resident holds 200 grams of gold — worth about IDR 247,600,800 at the indicative per-gram price on this page — plus IDR 14,582,741 in savings. Combined zakatable wealth is IDR 262,183,541. That clears the Nisab comfortably and, after a full lunar year, the Zakat is 2.5% of the combined figure: IDR 6,554,589. Notice that the gold is not tested against the gold Nisab on its own here — in a mixed portfolio the assets are valued together in IDR and tested once, which is how the calculators on this page proceed.
As a rule, payers settle their Zakat through a few familiar channels: charity platforms and mobile giving apps, payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers and community collection points and food banks during Ramadan. What is owed was settled before any channel was chosen when the net wealth met the Nisab and the 2.5% was applied — the channel only has to deliver that figure intact, to recipients who are genuinely eligible. If your Zakat leaves Indonesia, confirm the recipient end is genuinely Zakat-eligible rather than a general appeal, and keep the confirmation alongside the PDF report for that year.
The zakatable list for a payer in Indonesia is the universal one — cash, deposits, gold and silver however held, trading stock, money owed to you, and investments priced in IDR at market value. Personal-use property stays out — the home you live in, your car, furniture and personal effects, and wealth you do not truly own or cannot access. Debts due now come off before the Nisab test; then, if the net total has reached the threshold — IDR 9,721,827 on the silver standard most scholars apply to cash in Indonesia and a lunar year has passed over it, 2.5% is the right of the poor in that wealth.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Indonesia as elsewhere, subject to the sighting of the new moon and your community's announcement. Ramadan's last ten nights start with the Maghrib of 27 February 2027, 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 last fast is expected on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Daily times are tabulated in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Indonesia — Jakarta; and Fitrana must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. In Jakarta, day one runs from Fajr 04:36 to Maghrib 18:17. Other cities in Indonesia with their own calendars: Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Makassar — browse them all from the Ramadan 2027 timetables index.
On reference prices, IDR 108,300,590 for 87.48 grams of gold at the reference IDR 1,238,004 per gram used on this page. It is a moving figure by design: so confirm the amount in the calculator on your due date. The gold threshold is the higher of the two Nisabs; it is the relevant one for wealth held purely as gold under all schools.
For money-like wealth in Indonesia, most scholars and fatwa councils recommend the silver Nisab (IDR 9,721,827 indicatively) because it obligates more wealth and benefits more poor people. Holdings that are gold and nothing else follow the gold Nisab under every school — the disagreement is only about money and mixed wealth. If your wealth sits between the two thresholds, precisely so that borderline cases in Indonesia can be settled knowingly, with a scholar, instead of by default.
On your own hawl date: the Hijri anniversary of the day your wealth first reached the Nisab. The lunar year is 354 days, the Gregorian date slides roughly eleven days earlier with each passing year — a payer in Indonesia who fixed a solar date will drift late without noticing. If you pay in Ramadan for the multiplied reward, as many in Indonesia do, but paying in Ramadan does not move a hawl that fell earlier; paying early is permitted, paying late without excuse is not.
Yes — the channels listed above are exactly how most Zakat now leaves Indonesia, and online payment changes nothing about the duty itself. The conditions are that the recipient is Zakat-eligible under Quran 9:60 and that ownership of the money genuinely passes to them or their appointed agent. File the receipt with the calculation it settles; the same discipline applies if you also pay from Saudi Arabia on wealth held there, and note the Hijri date beside the Gregorian one — future-you, reconciling next year's hawl, will be grateful.
Every day's six times for the capital — Fajr to Isha — are tabulated on the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Indonesia, thirty rows for the capital, from the first Fajr on 8 February 2027 to the last Maghrib of the month. The table is computed for the capital, so distance matters: across Indonesia, minutes shift with longitude, and your local mosque's published times win any close argument.
