How does a person who has gold of different carats calculate his zakat?
The difference of carat is not important in gold in terms of being subject to zakat because it does not matter what carat it is; gold is gold. Therefore, even if the carats are different, all kinds of gold is subject to zakat if the amount of the gold, alone or all together with different carats of gold, is equal to or more than 80,18 grams and the value of 22 carat if it meets the other conditions too. In that case, the zakat of the different carats of gold is calculated out of their values and is given as 2,5%.
