If I had £5000 in my bank a year ago and £10000 now, do I pay Zakat on £5000 or £10000?

Pay Zakat on the £10,000 end amount if the balance never fell below the Nisab threshold throughout the year. zakat, nisab, wealth, calculation, savings, finance https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qO-kddd-qmQ
So as long as you do not go below the minimum Nisab, which currently is £398 here in the UK throughout the year. So throughout the year you are above £398, then you pay Zakat on the £10,000 on the end amount that you had on this day this year.
