Zakah is calculated by taking the total value of assets a person has, subtracting the value by the value of one's expenses and debts, and calculating 2.5% of that result. Furthermore, nesab must be taken into account before giving zakat, the result of assets minus deductions must be greater than the current value of nesab. Nesab value fluctuates according to the current gold value, as nesab is meant to be the value of 3 ounces of gold.
