3 common tola to gram mistakes
There are 3 common tola to gram mistakes, and each one changes the gold weight on a bill:
- Treating 10 grams as 1 tola undercounts every tola by 1.6638 g (14.26%). 10 g is 0.8574 tola.
- Treating 12 grams as 1 tola overcounts every tola by 0.3362 g (2.88%). 12 g is 1.0288 tola.
- Writing 1 tola 6 masha as 1.6 tola adds 1.166 g. 6 masha is half a tola, so 1 tola 6 masha is 1.5 tola (17.496 g), not 1.6 tola (18.662 g).

Origin of the tola and the gram
The tola is a South Asian weight named after the Sanskrit word tula (balance). British India fixed the tola at 180 grains troy (11.6638 g) in 1833, the weight of 1 silver rupee coin. The gram is a metric unit that France defined in 1795 as the mass of 1 cubic centimetre (1 cm³) of water. Today the gram is 1/1,000 of the SI kilogram, and the kilogram has been defined through the Planck constant since 2019.
Where the tola and the gram are used
The tola is used for gold and silver in 5 regions, including Pakistan, India and the Gulf:
- Pakistan quotes gold rates per tola and per 10 grams.
- India quotes gold rates per 10 grams, and families weigh old jewellery in tola.
- Nepal quotes fine and tejabi gold rates per tola.
- Bangladesh quotes gold rates per vori, and 1 vori is 1 tola (11.6638 g).
- Gulf states (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain) sell 10 tola (TT) bars of 116.638 g.
The gram is the legal unit of mass in every country that uses the metric system, and international gold prices are quoted per gram, per kilogram and per troy ounce (31.1035 g).
Tola sub-units and gram sub-units
The tola has 2 traditional sub-units, the masha and the ratti, and the gram has 1 common sub-unit, the milligram (mg):
| Unit | In tola | In grams | In milligrams |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tola | 1 | 11.6638 g | 11,663.8 mg |
| Masha | 1/12 | 0.97198 g | 971.98 mg |
| Ratti | 1/96 | 0.12150 g | 121.50 mg |
| Gram | 0.0857 | 1 g | 1,000 mg |
Tola or gram: which unit to use for gold
Use grams to compare a price with international gold rates, and use tola to compare a price with sarafa rates in Pakistan, India or Nepal. Convert both quotes to the same unit before you compare them: a per-tola rate is 11.6638 times the per-gram rate, and 1.16638 times the per-10-gram rate.
