How zakat on wealth works

Nisab

The minimum amount before zakat applies: the value of 85 g of pure gold. Below it, no zakat is due on your money.

Hawl

Your wealth must stay at or above the nisab for a full lunar (Hijri) year, which is about 354 days. Many people pick a fixed date each year, such as in Ramadan.

2.5%

Zakat is one fortieth of your net zakatable wealth. Your home, car and things you use are not counted.

Ask when unsure

This is a general guide. For your own case, ask the Zakat Fund or the fatwa service of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat (awqaf.gov.ae).

Sources: the UAE Zakat Fund (zakatfund.gov.ae), which provides an official zakat calculator and guidance (nisab for money equal to 85 g of 24K gold, 2.5% due once every Hijri year after the hawl); the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat (awqaf.gov.ae) and its fatwa service; and the fatwa guidance of Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, as reported by Gulf News, which also notes that scholars differ on jewellery that is worn. Some calculators use 87.48 g of gold and 612.36 g of silver instead of 85 g and 595 g; the difference is small. Silver nisab of 595 g is the alternative view.
