Gold Weight Calculator (Tola) — All Units, All Karats, Live Value
Tola-input variant of the multi-unit gold weight calculator. Enter tola/masha/ratti + karat and get cross-walked weights in grams, troy ounces, HK tael, pennyweight and grains — plus pure-gold yield, fineness, and live money value in your local currency.
Used by South Asian dealers exporting to international refiners — input in customer's tola, output in refiner's grams and troy ounces.
When to use this calculator
- Tola → international refiner intake

Multi-Unit Gold Weight Conversion, Starting from Tola
South Asian bullion dealers, jewellers and Sarafa Bazar traders work primarily in tola but regularly encounter international counterparties who quote in troy ounces, grams or kilograms. This calculator takes a tola input and returns the weight in every gold trading unit simultaneously, eliminating the need for successive single-step conversions when quoting cross-market.
A common cross-border scenario: a Pakistani importer buys bullion quoted in troy ounces, wants to translate the weight to tola for local ledger, and needs grams for the customs form. All three figures appear in one pass from this calculator. The karat purity layer then adds the pure-gold equivalent in each unit — useful when comparing bullion bars (typically 9999 fine) with jewellery (typically 22K or 18K).
For the equivalent starting point in grams — more natural when using a gram-calibrated digital scale — the gold weight calculations converter (Grams) provides the same multi-unit output from a gram entry.
Tola → everything
Grams = tola × 11.664. Troy oz = tola × 0.375. HK tael = tola × 0.3117. Pennyweight = tola × 7.5. Plus karat-purity math layered on top.
Step-by-step calculation
Example: 5 tola 6 masha of 22K gold
- 1
Total tola from TMR
tola = tola + masha÷12
5 + 6÷12 = 5.5000 tola
- 2
Convert to grams
grams = tola × 11.664
5.5 × 11.664 = 64.152 g
- 3
Convert to troy oz
troy oz = grams ÷ 31.1035
64.152 ÷ 31.1035 = 2.063 troy oz
- 4
Pure gold at 22K
pure tola = tola × (22 ÷ 24)
5.5 × 0.9167 = 5.042 tola = 58.806 g
- 5
Alloy mass
alloy tola = gross − pure
5.5000 − 5.0417 = 0.4583 tola = 5 masha 4 ratti
Sample conversions
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| 5 tola 22K | 58.32 g = 1.875 troy oz = 37.5 dwt; pure 53.46 g |
| 10 tola 18K | 116.64 g = 3.75 troy oz; pure 87.48 g |
Quick Reference — Tola to All Units
| Tola | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1 tola | 11.664 g |
| 5 tola | 58.32 g |
| 10 tola | 116.64 g |
| 40 tola (1 bori) | 466.56 g |
| 100 tola | 1,166.4 g |
| 267.0 tola | 3,114.0 g |
1 tola = 11.664 g = 3/8 troy oz exactly. 1 HK tael = 3.2075 tola = 37.429 g.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my tola weight need to be shown in so many output units?
Different counterparties use different units — local jeweller (tola), international refiner (grams/troy oz), customs broker (kg), US pawn shop (pennyweight). One input lets you answer all of them at once without sequential conversion.
How do I convert a tola weight to pennyweight?
1 tola = 11.664 g ÷ 1.55517 g/dwt = 7.5 pennyweight exactly. So any tola weight multiplied by 7.5 gives the pennyweight equivalent. The multi-unit calculator does this automatically alongside all other units.
What is 5 tola in troy ounces and grams?
5 tola = 5 × 11.664 g = 58.320 g = 58.320 ÷ 31.1035 = 1.875 troy ounces exactly. The ratio 1 tola = 3/8 troy oz (0.375) means tola and troy oz have a clean fractional relationship.
Why does the tola-input variant exist alongside the grams-input variant?
South Asian dealers typically start from a tola weight on the scale; international buyers start from grams. Providing both input variants means no one has to perform a pre-conversion before using the calculator — either unit serves as a direct entry point.
How does the karat affect the tola multi-unit output?
The karat applies to the gross tola weight to produce the pure-gold tola figure (and all its equivalents). The gross weight in all units stays constant regardless of karat — only the pure-gold sub-total changes with the karat selection.
