The answer

Zakat is obligatory on salary if the saved portion of it reaches the nisab (which is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver) and a hawl (lunar year) passes on it. 2.5% (a quarter of a tenth) is to be paid from it. The nisab is calculated based on the price of gold or silver in the local currency, and the month for paying zakat is the month in which a hawl has passed on the nisab.
