Zakah on the salary and other savings

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. How is the zakah on the salary calculated?

Answer:
The salary and other funds, if they reach the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over them, then zakah becomes obligatory on them. If the money you have from your salary or other sources reaches the nisab or more, and a lunar year has passed over it, then zakah is due on it. However, there is a problem for employees, which is that they may save some of their salary each month, and they do not know when the lunar year has completed for each amount and when it has not. Therefore, these people should designate a month of the year, such as Ramadan, in which they pay the zakah on the savings that have accumulated with them. Or, if they have a balance, they should pay zakah on that balance for which the lunar year has completed, so that its zakah is paid at its proper time. As for the amount for which the lunar year has not completed, its zakah is paid early in order to make things easier for people, because calculating the lunar year for each amount separately is difficult for them. If they do this and designate a month of the year in which they pay the zakah on the savings that have accumulated with them, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
