For Ramadan 2026, UK organisations published Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr) rates of £4 to £7 per person: the National Zakat Foundation set £7, Human Appeal £5 and Penny Appeal £4. The amount reflects each provider’s food measure and costs, so use the rate of the mosque or organisation you give through. Fitrana is separate from the 2.5% annual wealth calculation.

## How much was Fitrana in 2026?

Rates differ because each organisation prices a different food measure: some cost one meal (about £4–£5), others two meals or a staple such as wheat (about £4.50–£7). Multiply the rate by each person you pay for.

Rates as shown on each organisation’s own page when checked in September 2026. Organisations may update undated pages; confirm the current rate with your provider. Figures are the providers’ own and are not a UK standard.

## Check the historical Eid deadline

Distribution is intended before the Eid prayer, with an organisation’s collection deadline often earlier. Use the confirmed Eid date followed by your community and the provider’s deadline, not an old prediction. This page does not claim one date was observed everywhere.

## A household example

For a household of four at NZF’s 2026 rate of £7 per person, Fitrana is 4 × £7 = £28. At Human Appeal’s £5 rate it is £20. The calculation is simple; the rate and who you pay for depend on your provider and school.

## If a payment was missed

Ask a qualified scholar how to address a missed payment rather than assuming the obligation disappears after Eid. Keep the year, intended recipients, amount and any later payment recorded separately from annual wealth Zakat.
