What this tool does

Converts weights between the units used in precious-metal and jewelry work, including tola, masha and ratti, and lists the equivalent in every unit.

When to use it

Use it when a quote, a scale and a price list use different units.

What each input means

From / To
Any of the listed units. The table shows every unit at once.

Formula and method

  • Every conversion goes through grams.
  • 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g
  • 1 tola = 11.6638038 g = 12 masha = 96 ratti
  • 1 pennyweight (dwt) = 1/20 troy ounce
  • 1 metric carat = 0.2 g

Worked example

Converting one troy ounce:

  1. 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g
  2. 31.1034768 ÷ 11.6638038 = 2.6667 tola

1 troy ounce = 2.6667 tola

Limitations

  • Some regions define the tola slightly differently (for example 11.664 g or 11.66 g).
  • Metric carat (gem weight) is not the same as karat (gold purity).
