The answer

is obligatory on money under two conditions: that it reaches the (the equivalent of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver), and that a full hawl (lunar year) passes over it. If these two conditions are met for saved money, then zakat of 2.5% becomes obligatory on it. If the money does not reach the nisab, then no zakat is due on it.
