Is zakat paid based on 2.5% per thousand or 2.5% of total bank balance ? Also, does this include multiple accounts as I have over £1000 in 1 account and only £20 in another account as well as £20 at home. So would I pay zakaat on £1040?

Previously, I never paid Zakatul Fitr even when I was earning some money doing freelance work. My father usually paid it for me before eid, but I think he paid it in the form of cash, which I now understand is not the correct way as we should give food. I personally gave it in the form of food last year. For previous years if it was paid in cash by my father, what should i do?

Zakat is due on any savings that finishes one year in your possession. It is best to designate a specific date every Hijra year and in that day, calculate whatever savings you have and give zakat on it regardless when it came into your possession.
