Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. In Bangladesh, the current Nisab value is calculated based on the market value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver (whichever is lower). If your total zakatable wealth exceeds this amount for a complete lunar year (354 days), you must pay Zakat at 2.5% of your net wealth.
The Nisab serves as an exemption limit to ensure Zakat is only paid by those who have sufficient wealth beyond their basic needs. Our Zakat calculator BD automatically checks if your wealth exceeds the Nisab threshold and calculates the exact amount due.
