How to convert tolas to grams
One tola weighs 11.6638 grams and one gram weighs 1 grams, so 1 tola = 11.6638 grams. Multiply any amount in tolas by 11.6638 to get grams, or divide by 11.6638 to go back.
Example
10 tolas × 11.6638 = 116.638 grams. At today's price, that weight of pure gold is worth $15,527.
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.
