Zakat becomes obligatory on your wealth if it reaches the nisab and one hawl (lunar year) has passed over it. The nisab for currency is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Zakat is to be paid at a rate of 2.5% of the wealth, and the general rule is that zakat should be disbursed in the country where the wealth is located.
