Singapore at a glance for Zakat payers: currency SGD (Singapore dollar), region Asia, community languages English, Malay, Mandarin, Tamil. This short-form page carries the essentials — today's indicative Nisab in SGD (SGD 804 silver, SGD 8,958 gold), a worked example, the practical channels for paying in Singapore, Ramadan 2027 dates and the quick links into every calculator with SGD pre-selected. The full guide version of this page, with the step-by-step method, is the Zakat calculator guide for Singapore.
Using the reference prices behind this page (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 1.34 SGD per dollar), one gram of gold is worth SGD 102 and one gram of silver SGD 1 in Singapore. Scaled to the Nisab weights, that is SGD 8,958 for 87.48 grams of gold and SGD 804 for 612.36 grams of silver. Treat the pair as today's guide figures; the calculators fetch live prices the moment you use them, and Zakat law judges your wealth against the Nisab of your actual due date, not of the day you happened to read a web page.
Take a concrete case in Singapore: a resident holds 175 grams of gold — worth about SGD 17,920 at the indicative per-gram price on this page — plus SGD 1,206 in savings. Combined zakatable wealth is SGD 19,127. That clears the Nisab comfortably and, after a full lunar year, the Zakat is 2.5% of the combined figure: SGD 478. 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 SGD and tested once, which is how the calculators on this page proceed.
In daily practice, most payers hand their Zakat over through the same short list of routes: mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan, charity platforms and mobile giving apps and payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers. The route changes nothing about the amount 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. Payers who give internationally should confirm the destination is a Zakat fund, not a general appeal, and note the transfer date beside your hawl anniversary in your records.
What counts in Singapore is what counts everywhere: balances, savings, metals in any form, resale stock, business receivables, investments and crypto at market value — with anything held in another currency converted into SGD first. What does not count: the home you live in, your car, furniture and personal effects, and wealth you do not truly own or cannot access. Debts due are deducted before the threshold is applied, value in SGD, deduct what is due, test the net against the Nisab, and charge one-fortieth of the whole net figure once a lunar year has passed.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 for Singapore as for most of the world, pending the sighted crescent which local announcements confirm. The last ten nights begin 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 Singapore — Singapore; remember that Fitrana is due before the Eid prayer, not after it. In Singapore, day one runs from Fajr 05:57 to Maghrib 19:21.
At this page's reference price, SGD 8,958 for 87.48 grams of gold priced at SGD 102 the gram. It is a moving figure by design: and the calculator's live SGD value on your due date is the binding one. Of the two thresholds it is the higher, in Singapore that is SGD 804 at the same reference prices.
For money-like wealth in Singapore, the widely recommended standard is silver — SGD 804 at reference prices — the threshold the majority of contemporary councils advise, in Singapore as elsewhere. Gold-only wealth is tested against the gold Nisab by agreement. The calculator displays both SGD figures side by side the choice changes your duty, so it is worth a question to a scholar you trust — the calculator shows both figures so the conversation starts from real numbers.
On your own hawl date: the Hijri anniversary of the day your wealth first reached the Nisab. Count it in lunar years of 354 days; so the Gregorian date moves about eleven days earlier each year. Aligning payment to Ramadan is common in Singapore and permitted — Ramadan 2027 opens on 8 February 2027 — pay the coming year's duty early rather than this year's late: the hawl, not the season, sets the deadline.
Online payment from Singapore is well established; what matters is the destination, not the medium. Two conditions govern it: the recipient must fall within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and ownership of the SGD amount must genuinely transfer to them or their agent. Keep the platform's confirmation with your PDF report for Singapore, keep the confirmation email or receipt with your calculation report, and record the Hijri date of payment as well as the Gregorian one.
The full 30-day table for the capital is on the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Singapore, with Sehri (Fajr), Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Iftar (Maghrib) and Isha for every day from 8 February 2027 onwards. Capital times are the reference, not the last word — across Singapore, minutes shift with longitude, and your local mosque's published times win any close argument.
