Nisab Today in JPY
The live zakat threshold in Japanese Yen, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Japanese Yen — cash in JPY, gold and silver, money owed to you, and business inventory — stays at or above the nisab for one full lunar year, zakat of 2.5% is due. Most scholars recommend checking against the lower silver figure (196,741 JPY today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in JPY today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 1,895,380 JPY. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 196,741 JPY. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the JPY exchange rate.
Gold or silver standard — which should I use?+
Most scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower — zakat becomes due sooner and more of the poor benefit. The gold standard is also valid.
Why does the nisab in Japanese Yen change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the JPY exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
