The Gold Weight Converter converts a gold weight between all the units used in India and beyond — tola, gram, vori (bhori), masha, ratti, ounce, and kilogram — in one place. Enter an amount in any unit and it shows the equivalent in every other unit instantly, and if you add today’s gold rate, it also shows the value.
It’s especially useful for the traditional units still quoted by jewellers and families, like tola and vori, which don’t appear on ordinary scales. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored.

Common gold weight units
- 1 tola = 11.6638 grams — the traditional Indian unit for gold.
- 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti (masha and ratti are smaller traditional units).
- Vori (or bhori) is the same as a tola, used mainly in eastern India and Bangladesh.
- 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams — the unit used in international gold markets.
Why the tola still matters
Even though scales show grams, gold in India is often quoted, gifted, and remembered in tola — a chain might be described as “two tola” rather than 23.3 grams. Converting between the two helps when comparing prices, checking a bill, or valuing family gold.
Because a tola is about 11.66 grams (not a round 10), quick mental conversions are easy to get wrong, which is exactly what this converter avoids.
