Discharging zakaat for previous years

Q: If one has not payed zakaat for previous years and now wishes to do so, will they calculate when they became saahib nisab based on todays nisab or nisab of that particular day?

A: If it was cash you will look at the nisaab amount of the past.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
