How to convert tolas to kilograms
One tola weighs 11.6638 grams and one kilogram weighs 1,000 grams, so 1 tola = 0.0117 kilograms. Multiply any amount in tolas by 0.0117 to get kilograms, or divide by 0.0117 to go back.
Example
10 tolas × 0.0117 = 0.1166 kilograms. 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.
