Zakat is payable at 2.5% of your wealth that has been in your possession for one lunar year, above the Nisab threshold.

Zakat is obligatory for every adult Muslim who possesses wealth above the Nisab threshold for one complete lunar year. The Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth one must have before they are liable to pay Zakat.

Zakat becomes due one lunar year (Hawl) after your wealth first reaches or exceeds the Nisab threshold. Many Muslims choose to pay their Zakat during Ramadan for greater blessings, but it can be paid at any time once it becomes due.
