Popular Tola to Gram Conversions
What is a Tola?
The tola (from the Sanskrit tolaka, “to weigh”) is one of the oldest units of mass in South Asia, used for millennia to weigh gold, silver and precious substances. Its weight was historically tied to a number of silver coins, and under British India it was standardised in 1833 to 180 troy grains — the same mass as the silver rupee — which works out to exactly 11.6638038 grams, or 3/8 of a troy ounce.
After metrication the gram became the legal standard, but the tola never left the bazaar. Today it remains the everyday unit in which jewellers, bullion dealers and families across India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka quote, trade and gift gold. Gold rates are still announced “per tola” on the news, making fast, accurate tola↔gram conversion essential for any buyer or investor.
Gold Price per Tola Today (24K & 22K)

Indian Tola vs Pakistani (Bazari) Tola
There are two tolas in everyday use. The standard / international (bullion) tola = 11.6638038 g — used in India, on commodity exchanges, and by most Pakistani and Bangladeshi bullion dealers. The Pakistani “bazari” or “new” tola = 12.5 g appears in parts of the local retail jewellery trade. This is exactly why people ask whether “1 tola is 12 grams” — it is the rounded bazari figure, not the true standard of 11.66 g.
Rule of thumb: to convert grams to the standard tola divide by 11.6638; for the bazari tola divide by 12.5. When buying or selling, always confirm which tola your jeweller is quoting — on a 100 g purchase the two standards differ by almost a full tola.
