How Zakat on crypto works

Zakat is 2.5% of qualifying wealth held for a full lunar year (hawl), provided the total is above the nisab. Crypto you hold as an investment is valued at its current market price on your Zakat date and added to your other cash, gold, silver and trade goods.

What is the nisab?

The nisab is the minimum wealth at which Zakat becomes obligatory, equal to about 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver. Most scholars use the lower silver value so more people benefit. Because metal prices change daily, we let you set today’s rupee value above.
