Zakat is a mandatory duty on all able Muslims who meet nisab values. There is no ambiguity as to the rate at which Zakat should be calculated; 2.5% of all net savings one possesses that is above the nisab value. Net savings is total maintained wealth for one lunar year before Zakat is due.
Zakat al-Fitr is a form of charity given to the poor at the end of Ramadan.
Zakat al-Fitr is £7
Zakat al-Fitr is due on every member of a household, including any children or elderly persons and is obligatory to pay before the day of Eid.
The amount of Zakat al-Fitr is the value of one meal which must be received by the person in need before the Eid prayer. As such, we recommend that you make a donation as early as possible in Ramadan.

Sadaqah
"When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them." (hadith of the Prophet (pbuh), narrated by Muslim)
Ongoing Charity - Sadaqah Jariyah - is one of the most valuable acts we can do in this life, which continues benefiting us in the next, even after we have left the earth.
Fidya
When someone cannot fast in Ramadan and can't make them up afterwards (due to ill health or pregnancy) they pay for someone else to be fed. The Cost is £7 per meal
Kaffarah
Kaffarah is the compensation that you should give if you deliberately miss or break a fast in the month of Ramadan without a valid reason.
