If one person’s source of income is that one answers the questions of the students uploaded on a website and that website pays money for answering the question on monthly basis. My question is that the money from this source is treated as earning from production or it is treated as wealth or savings?

Money obtained from such assignment is not good way of earning. So you need to give all money back. Refer to video in following thread for ghamidi sb comments on money earned this way.

It would be considered as Zakat on Production as far as monthly income is concerned provided that it meets the Nisab threshold. But at year-end, the amount that ends up with you as saving/wealth will also be subject to Zakat on Assets for which different percentage apply.
You need to weigh the ethical side of the nature of your job as well, after considering all the facts related to your job, whether it is in voilation of any ethical principle or not.

If that website bound the students not to post questions that related to test, exam, assignments. So i think it is not cheating.

Nisab threshold for production is 653 kg of dates. So how we calculate the equivalent money to 653 kg of dates as there are many varieties of dates and rates of each variety is different?

For nisab of production/earnings one should use government’s tax exemption for salaried people. In case there is no such exemption available, one can use the nisab of amount equivalent to 653 kg of dates. If your yearly earnings are above that amount then zakat becomes due. The price of dates should be according to what one normally consumes.
For zakat on assets, again one should use the nisab provided by the government. In case where they don’t provide a nisab, one should use 642g of silver as nisab.
Please enter appropriate numbers in our Zakat Calculator after reading description for each box. When you reach the end, it will generate a statement showing you exactly what you owe after any applicable deductions, and what percentage was applied to what. It’s also a great way to learn the sharia of zakat.
