Nisab and rates for Stocks Zakat

The two thresholds anchor the test for Stocks Zakat before rates enter the picture. The gold Nisab is 87.48 grams of gold, around USD 6,685 on reference pricing of USD 76.42 per gram used here. In silver, the Nisab is a silver weight of 612.36 grams, about USD 600 at USD 0.98 per gram. Take the worked example: USD 6,344 net — passes the silver line but not gold: the in-between zone where the anchor you follow decides. Neither figure is fixed in money terms: the tool itself re-prices both in your currency at the moment you calculate.

The educational examples use standard classroom figures: a 2.5% rate, the gold Nisab of 87.48 grams and the silver Nisab of 612.36 grams, debts due deducted first, and a full lunar year before anything is payable. Keep the worked example for Stocks Zakat in mind: USD 6,822 owned, USD 478 owed, USD 159 payable. Push the practice wealth just below and just above each threshold: watching the answer switch from "no Zakat due" to a precise amount teaches how the Nisab protects small savings while obligating real wealth. Halve the sample and the due halves with it: USD 3,172 net would owe roughly USD 79 — the rate never changes, only the base.
