Gold Tola to Gram Conversion — Complete Guide with Table
1 tola of gold = 11.664 grams (= 0.375 troy ounces). The tola is the standard gold weight unit in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (called "vori"), UAE, Saudi Arabia, and most Gulf markets. This guide explains the conversion and how regional gold prices are calculated.
The tola (also spelled "tolā" or "तोला" in Hindi) is a traditional South Asian unit of weight equal to exactly 11.6638038 grams — conventionally rounded to 11.664 grams. It was the base unit of the Indian silver rupee coin during the Mughal period and the British Raj, and later became the standard gold weight in local jewellery markets across the region.
Today, the tola remains the primary price-quoting unit for gold in:
India — IBJA (India Bullion and Jewellers Association) publishes both per-10-gram and per-tola benchmarks
Pakistan — All major gold pricing is quoted per tola (e.g., "1 tola 24K = PKR XXX")
Bangladesh — Called "vori" (= 1 tola exactly); BAJUS quotes 22K retail per vori
UAE / Gulf — Per-tola pricing is widely used alongside per-gram in gold souks
How to Convert Tola to Grams (Formula)
Grams = Tola × 11.664
Examples:
2 tola = 2 × 11.664 = 23.328 grams
5 tola = 5 × 11.664 = 58.32 grams
10 tola = 10 × 11.664 = 116.64 grams
How to Convert Grams to Tola (Formula)
Tola = Grams ÷ 11.664
Examples:
100 grams = 100 ÷ 11.664 = 8.573 tola
50 grams = 50 ÷ 11.664 = 4.287 tola
10 grams = 10 ÷ 11.664 = 0.857 tola
