The amount of wealth which makes one liable for Zakah is called Nisaab. The Nisaab as fixed by Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is as follows:
Grams | Tolas | Grains | Troy Oz | |
GOLD | 87.48 | 7.50 | 1350 | 2.8125 |
SILVER | 612.36 | 52.50 | 9450 | 19.6875 |
To work out the nissab you need to multiply 87.48g with the latest price of gold (or silver £) £32.62p = will give you the nissab £2854.25p. So if you have £2854.25p or more, whether its gold or cash or business money or business property etc, you are liable to pay 2.5% Zakah from that.
Same principal applies for others.

Gold Value: £46238.04p
Cash in Account: £5000.00
Share in Business: £10,000.00
Total amount Zakah is due on: £61,238.04
2.5% / 100 x £61,238.04 = £1530.95p
Your payable zakah is £1530.95p
