Zakat On Salary, Its Calculation And Nisab
In case you are a salaried person, you should also pay 10 % of your salary every time you receive it as production Zakat ( can be calculated annually as well ). You can deduct the amount the government has fixed as exemption to salaried persons and then pay the said percentage of the remaining amount as Zakah. ( In case there is no tax exemption slab available, then one can use amount equivalent to 653 kg of dates as Nisab for Salary earnings ). However, there can be difference of opinion on whether Zakat percentage should be applied on amount only above Nisab threshold or on the whole amount as soon as it crosses the Nisab threshold , but Ghamidi Sahab prefers the latter position.
