The zakat threshold (nisab) for gold of different carats is calculated based on the value of 80.18 grams of 24-carat gold. Accordingly, regardless of their carat or weight, when the total amount of gold a person possesses reaches the value of 80.18 grams of 24-carat gold, zakat at the rate of one-fortieth (2.5%) must be given.
