Nisab and rates for Stock Portfolio Zakat

Two reference thresholds set the test for Stock Portfolio Zakat on this page. In gold, the Nisab is 87.48g of gold, worth roughly USD 6,685 at the reference price of USD 76.42 per gram quoted on this page. Silver sets the lower line at a weight of 612.36 grams, indicatively USD 600 at USD 0.98 a gram. Take the worked example: a net USD 9,493 — falls between the two thresholds: precisely the band where the threshold choice matters. Prices move, so both are indicative: the live Stock Portfolio Zakat refreshes both figures live when you calculate.

For investments, the Nisab test uses current market value on your Zakat date, not the purchase price. On this page's worked figures for Stock Portfolio Zakat — USD 10,207 owned, USD 714 owed, USD 9,493 net, USD 237 due — the points below are applied to numbers, not abstractions. Holdings bought for resale — trading stock, speculative crypto, short-term share positions — are charged at 2.5% of their full market value. The same arithmetic in reverse: a due of USD 237 implies net zakatable wealth of about USD 9,480, because the rate is one-fortieth. Long-term shareholdings are treated differently by many scholars, who charge 2.5% only on the company's zakatable portion plus dividends you still hold. The threshold comparison is the same either way: total zakatable value against USD 600 (silver) or USD 6,685 (gold), indicatively.
