Zakat on Salary – Step by Step
Salary income is zakatable once it has been in your possession for one full year. Newly earned salary is not immediately zakatable, but it must be tracked.
Your salary becomes zakatable one year after you receive it. If you save part of your salary, that saved amount will be included in your Zakat calculation after one lunar year.
How Salary Becomes Zakatable
It's based on when you receive it.
When you receive your salary, the clock starts. If that money is still in your possession (or has been saved) one year later, it is zakatable. For example, £1,000 received in January 2024 becomes zakatable in January 2025.
