Nisab and rates for Microfinance Zakat

Two reference thresholds set the test for Microfinance Zakat throughout this page. The gold Nisab is a gold weight of 87.48 grams, about USD 6,685 at the indicative reference price of USD 76.42 per gram quoted on this page. The silver Nisab is 612.36g of silver, some USD 600 at USD 0.98 per gram. The example's net figure — a net USD 6,610 — clears silver and sits below gold: precisely the band where the threshold choice matters. Prices move, so both are indicative: the tool itself reprices them in your currency at the moment you calculate.

With Microfinance Zakat, add up your zakatable assets, subtract what you owe and must pay (and, on one view, the year's instalments), then compare the net figure with the two thresholds. On this page's worked figures for Microfinance Zakat — USD 7,107 owned, USD 497 owed, USD 6,610 net, USD 165 due — the points below are applied to numbers, not abstractions. Once the Nisab is reached and a hawl has passed, the charge is 2.5% of everything net, never merely on the surplus. Scale the sample up instead — USD 14,214 owned on the same debt ratio — and the due rises to about USD 330. Personal items — home, car, furniture — stay outside the calculation.

Worked example

Worked example: Microfinance Zakat valued at USD 7,107, with USD 497 of debts due now, the net zakatable figure is USD 6,610 — above the silver Nisab — and after a hawl, 2.5% of it — USD 165 — is due. Balances held on the platform count the same as cash in hand provided they are accessible and a hawl has passed. Set against the Nisab, that net 6,610 is roughly 86.5g of gold or, in silver, 6,745 grams — 1101% of the silver Nisab's value, so the Zakat shown follows directly.

Scholar and madhab notes

Scholars have examined tools of this kind carefully, and what follows is their common guidance. Pending settlements, balances in dispute and amounts a platform may claw back are not yet fully yours. On this page's worked figures for Microfinance Zakat — USD 7,107 owned, USD 497 owed, USD 6,610 net, USD 165 due — the points below are applied to numbers, not abstractions. Conversely, money an app holds for you under your instruction is yours even if the screen shows it in another category. Value what you truly own on the due date, document the platform statements the way you would bank statements, and novel structures — pooled, bridged, wrapped — deserve a scholar's reading before a calculator's arithmetic.
