Zakat is obligatory on saved money if it reaches the threshold (nisab). It is a quarter of a tenth (2.5%) to be paid every Hijri year, based on the statement of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen that it is obligatory on money saved for marriage, buying a house, and similar purposes. Zakat increases wealth and blesses it.
