Gold Polish Calculator — Grams-per-Tola Loss → Tola Output
This variant of the polish calculator returns net weight in tola/masha/ratti instead of grams — matching the units local jewellers actually quote and book in. Polish rate input is grams-per-tola (the standard Sarafa Bazar quotation format).
Use this when both buyer and seller are running tola-denominated bookkeeping and the gram detour adds rounding noise to the settlement.
When to use this calculator
- Custom-jewellery reconciliation
- Polish-shop ledger entry
Polish Loss Output in Tola, Masha & Ratti
This variant of the polish loss calculator accepts the polish rate in grams-per-tola (the standard Sarafa Bazar declaration format) and returns the net weight in tola/masha/ratti — matching the output unit to the customer receipt and ledger format. No gram-to-tola conversion is needed after the calculation.
The settlement workflow is: weigh piece in tola → customer hands over gross tola → jeweller declares g/tola rate → this calculator gives net tola → jeweller's ledger entry is in tola. Every step stays in tola, eliminating the rounding that arises from tola → gram → tola round-trips.
For the equivalent calculation returning net weight in grams (useful for customs forms or international refiner intake), the grams-per-tola polish → grams output variant provides the same net weight in metric units.
Polish loss in tola
Net tola = Gross tola − (Gross tola × polish g/tola ÷ 11.664). Then convert remainder to masha (× 12) and ratti (× 96) as needed.
Step-by-step calculation
Example: 3 tola gross at 0.5 g/tola polish rate
- 1
Gross weight in grams
gross (g) = tola × 11.664
3 × 11.664 = 34.992 g gross
- 2
Total polish loss in grams
loss (g) = gross tola × rate (g/tola)
3 × 0.5 = 1.500 g loss
- 3
Net weight in grams
net (g) = gross − loss
34.992 − 1.500 = 33.492 g net
- 4
Convert net grams to TMR
tola = grams ÷ 11.664 → TMR
33.492 ÷ 11.664 = 2.8713 tola = 2 tola 10 masha 5 ratti

Sample conversions
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| 5 tola gross, 1 g/tola | 4.571 tola net ≈ 4 tola 6 masha 8 ratti |
| 2 tola gross, 0.5 g/tola | 1.914 tola net ≈ 1 tola 11 masha |
Quick Reference — Net Tola After Polish (g/tola rates)
| Gross Tola | At 0.5 g/tola |
|---|---|
| 1 tola | 0 tola 11m 6r net |
| 2 tola | 1 tola 11m 0r net |
| 5 tola | 4 tola 8m 6r net |
| 10 tola | 9 tola 5m 2r net |
Net tola = Gross − (Gross × rate ÷ 11.664). Enter any gross weight for a precise figure.

Frequently asked questions
Why convert the net weight back to tola if the math runs in grams?
Local rate sheets, customer receipts and shop ledgers are tola-denominated. Keeping the output in tola avoids a mental conversion step and prevents the rounding noise that accumulates when repeatedly switching between gram and tola.
How is this different from the grams-output polish calculator?
Only the output unit differs — the polish-loss math is identical. This variant expresses net weight as tola/masha/ratti for shops that book and receipt in South Asian units. The gram-output variant is better for customs declarations or international refiner intake.
What is the tola net weight of a 5-tola piece with 0.8 g/tola polish?
5 tola gross; polish = 5 × 0.8 = 4.0 g = 4 ÷ 11.664 = 0.343 tola lost; net = 5 − 0.343 = 4.657 tola ≈ 4 tola 7 masha 9 ratti.
Does the tola-output calculator handle fractions of masha correctly?
Yes — the calculator expresses fractional tola as whole masha + fractional ratti (to 2 decimal places). Rounding only occurs at the display level; the internal calculation uses full floating-point precision to preserve accuracy for financial settlements.
Can I enter polish rate in both g/tola and ratti/tola in this calculator?
This specific variant takes g/tola input. For a ratti/tola polish rate, use the ratti-per-tola polish → tola output variant, which accepts ratti/tola and returns net weight in tola/masha/ratti.
