In Arabic, zakat means purification, growth and blessing. It is a charitable practice that requires all able Muslims (those who meet the requirement of zakat as dependent upon nisab and hawl) to contribute a fixed portion of their wealth – 2.5% of savings — to help the needy. The zakat corresponds to 2.5% of the total assets remaining at the end of a year after deducting all necessary living expenses. In addition to cash, assets subject to payment are real estate, property such as jewelry and precious metals and livestock. The so-called Nisâb limit is determined for each of these values. If the assets remain below this limit, they are not taxed. 

A person covered his/her basic needs.  After one year, she/he owns $3,800 in cash, 50 g of gold (jewelry) and $1,250 in the savings or home savings account. However, it also has a debt of $6,000, of which $1,200 must be repaid in the current year. The amount of gold (50 g) does not reach the Nisab limit. The rest of the property, however, is subject to zakat. The result is 50 g x $34.82 = $1 741. Accordingly: $3,800 + $1,741 + $1,250 = $6,791. The amount for school repayment will be deducted from this amount. This leaves $5,591. Of this, 2.5% are payable for the Zakat. This results in $5 591 x 0.025 = $139.78. 

Since the prices for a sacrificial animal differ from country to country, the donations received are collected in a pool. From there, they are forwarded to the job sites as required 

All donations received are used to slaughter sacrificial animals. However, due to the pool system, we cannot make a precise statement about the country in which an individual donation is used. A local donation is not possible.
