Troy Ounce to Tola, Masha, Ratti — South Asian Gold Converter
This calculator translates between two of the world's most-used gold weight systems: the troy ounce (the international bullion standard at 31.1035 g) and the tola/masha/ratti scale (the South Asian standard, with 1 tola = 11.664 g). The conversion ratio is fixed: 1 troy ounce = 2.6667 tola = 32 masha = 256 ratti.
It is the calculation that wedding-gold importers, NRI investors, Dubai-Karachi remittance senders, and international bullion arbitrageurs run dozens of times a day — comparing the per-troy-oz international spot price against the per-tola Sarafa Bazar rate.
How the conversion works
Tola = Troy ounces × 2.6667. Masha = Troy ounces × 32. Ratti = Troy ounces × 256. Or in reverse: Troy oz = Tola × 0.3750. For 5 troy oz: 5 × 2.6667 = 13.333 tola (= 13 tola 4 masha).
Sample conversions
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 troy ounce | 2.6667 tola = 32 masha = 256 ratti |
| 5 troy ounces | 13.333 tola ≈ 13 tola 4 masha |
| 10 troy ounces | 26.667 tola ≈ 26 tola 8 masha |
| 0.5 troy oz (Krugerrand 1/2) | 1.333 tola = 1 tola 4 masha |
| 1 tola | 0.375 troy ounces = 11.664 g |

Frequently asked questions
How many tola is exactly 1 troy ounce?
1 troy ounce = 2.6667 tola (to 4 decimal places). More precisely: 31.1034768 ÷ 11.664 = 2.66664 tola. Most pricing tables round to 2.67 tola for simplicity; the calculator uses the exact ratio.
A South African Krugerrand is 1 troy oz — how much is that in tola?
A 1 oz Krugerrand contains 1 troy oz (31.1035 g) of pure gold = 2.6667 tola of pure gold. Note that the coin's gross weight is 33.93 g because it is alloyed at 22K (91.67%) for hardness — the gross is closer to 2.91 tola.
