Q.1

It is possible that putting your things up for sale can give you a better idea of their resale.         Make a list of everything you have and what you plan to do with it. You have left out essentials that you use daily (Shabbir,2018). Assets like your principal property or apparel are not included in your zakat total.

• Analyze the total amount of debt you’ve accumulated. Your net worth will plummet if you owe money on credit cards, student loans, or other obligations. Your zakat-eligible assets will be reduced if you have outstanding debts.
• Use this calculator to figure out how much Zakat you’ll have to pay. Identify your zakat-eligible assets by removing your financial obligations.

Q.2

A zakat tax of 2.5 percent should be applied to all cash and bank balances in your savings, current, and money market accounts. A bank account, for example, would be an excellent place to keep all of your money for the year. The account balance fluctuates most commonly because the user’s needs change.

Steps

Zakatable Wealth can be calculated by summing together all of your sources of income and current needs and expenses to see if it exceeds the Nisab threshold limit. Determine the amount of Zakat you must pay and then do so.
