How to convert grams to ounces
One gram weighs 1 grams and one ounce weighs 31.1035 grams, so 1 gram = 0.0322 ounces. Multiply any amount in grams by 0.0322 to get ounces, or divide by 0.0322 to go back.
Example
10 grams × 0.0322 = 0.3215 ounces. At today's price, that weight of pure gold is worth $1,331.
Why units matter for precious metals
Bullion is priced in troy ounces, jewelry in grams, South Asian markets in tolas and Chinese markets in taels. Mixing up the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) and troy ounce (31.10 g) is a common 9.7% error when comparing prices.
- Ask sellers which ounce they mean.
- Convert everything to grams before comparing offers.
- Use the exact factors on this page rather than rounded ones for large amounts.
