1 tola (tola) equals exactly 11.6638 grams (g). Use the formula: tola × 11.6638 = g.
To convert tola to grams, multiply your value in tola by 11.6638. For example, 5 tola × 11.6638 = 58.319 g.
100 tola = 1166.38 grams. Calculation: 100 × 11.6638 = 1166.38.
To convert grams back to tola, divide by 11.6638 (or multiply by 0.08573535). Example: 10 g ÷ 11.6638 = 0.85735352 tola.
Yes. This converter uses the internationally recognised exact conversion factor: 1 tola = 11.6638 g. All calculations are performed in your browser with no rounding until display.
10 tola = 116.638 grams. Simply multiply by 11.6638.
Converting tola to grams is commonly needed for jewellery valuation, gemstone trading, precious metal buying and selling, and hallmarking compliance where one system uses tola and another uses g.
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 gram (g) is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). While the kilogram is the SI base unit, the gram is the practical everyday unit for small masses in cooking, pharmacy, chemistry, and nutrition labelling. The word derives from Late Latin gramma (small weight), itself from Greek.
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.
Defined in 1795 by the French Academy of Sciences as the mass of one cubic centimetre of pure water at 4 °C — this made 1 mL of water weigh almost exactly 1 gram. The gram was the practical base of early metric calculations before the kilogram took over as SI base unit in 1875. The relationship 1 mL water ≈ 1 g is still a useful approximation in cooking and chemistry.
Interesting fact: A standard large paperclip weighs about 1 gram. The gram forms the basis for milligram (mg), microgram (μg), and tonne (10⁶ g) through SI prefixes.
