Gold unit converter

Convert any gold weight between grams, ounces, tola, kilograms, mithqal and baht.

The units

The converter shows your amount in every unit at once. The troy ounce is 31.1035 grams and is the international trading unit. A tola is 11.6638 grams. A mithqal is 4.25 grams, and the Thai baht weight is 15.244 grams. A kilogram is 1,000 grams. The 10-gram unit is how gold is often quoted in India. These are weights of the metal, not of the item, so a gold ring with a stone should be weighed without the stone for any calculation of gold value.

Troy ounce and ordinary ounce

A common mistake is mixing up the troy ounce, used for precious metals, with the ordinary ounce used for food, which is about 28.35 grams. A troy ounce is about 10% heavier. When a gold price is quoted "per ounce", it always means the troy ounce.

Then work out a price

Once you have a weight in grams, you can find its value with the gold calculator, or read the live price in your unit on the gold price by unit pages. For the background on each unit and where it is used, see gold units explained.
