1 grain (gr) equals exactly 0.00555565 tola (tola). Use the formula: gr × 0.00555565 = tola.
To convert grains to tola, multiply your value in grains by 0.00555565. For example, 5 gr × 0.00555565 = 0.02777825 tola.
100 grains = 0.55556508 tola. Calculation: 100 × 0.00555565 = 0.55556508.
To convert tola back to grains, divide by 0.00555565 (or multiply by 179.9969). Example: 10 tola ÷ 0.00555565 = 1799.9691 gr.
Yes. This converter uses the internationally recognised exact conversion factor: 1 gr = 0.00555565 tola. All calculations are performed in your browser with no rounding until display.
10 grains = 0.05555651 tola. Simply multiply by 0.00555565.
Converting grains to tola is commonly needed for jewellery valuation, gemstone trading, precious metal buying and selling, and hallmarking compliance where one system uses gr and another uses tola.
The grain (gr) is the smallest unit in the avoirdupois, troy, and apothecary weight systems, equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams (0.06479891 g). All three systems share the same grain as base: one avoirdupois pound = 7,000 grains; one troy pound = 5,760 grains. The grain is still used in ballistics (bullet and powder weights) and some pharmaceutical contexts.
The tola is a traditional unit of mass used across the Indian subcontinent for precious metals and spices. One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams (internationally standardised). In the Indian system: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. It remains the standard gold-trading unit quoted by jewellers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and across Gulf markets that serve South Asian buyers.
The grain is among the oldest measurement units in history, derived from the average weight of a grain of barleycorn (or wheat) — a practical standard used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. England formalised the barleycorn grain in the 15th century as the foundation of its weight system. The British Weights and Measures Act 1824 defined the grain, and the value remains unchanged today.
Interesting fact: The original grain was calibrated by laying dried barleycorns end-to-end — 32 grains equalled one inch in 13th-century England. Today, 9mm pistol bullets typically weigh 115–147 grains (7.5–9.5 g), and gunpowder charges are specified in grains for reloading.
The tola derives from Sanskrit tola, from tul (to weigh, to balance). It was the official precious-metal unit under British India, defined as the mass of the silver rupee coin (~11.66 g). Indian rupees were minted to exactly 1 tola weight. After independence, India officially adopted the metric system in 1956 for gold trading, but the tola survived in the market. The UAE, a major gold trading hub, still quotes prices per tola.
Interesting fact: India is one of the world's largest gold consumers. A tola bar of 24-karat gold (≈11.66 g, worth ~$700 at 2024 gold prices) is one of the most popular physical gold investment formats in South Asia.
