A masha (māsha) is 1/12 of a tola — roughly 0.9720 g. It's the traditional medium-sized weight unit for gold and silver across South Asia. Most modern receipts now show grams or decimal tola instead, but older family records, antique jewellery registers, and dowry lists still use masha. The system: 1 masha = 8 rattis, 12 mashas = 1 tola. If you're sorting through a deceased relative's gold inventory in TMR notation, this is the unit that bridges tola and ratti.

A ratti is the smallest traditional weight unit for precious metals — about 0.1215 g, or 1/96 of a tola. Wonderful etymology: the name comes from the dried seeds of the Rati plant (Abrus precatorius), which were historically used as natural weights because the seeds happen to be remarkably uniform in mass. Pre-modern jewellers literally balanced gold against piles of these seeds. Still used today in Pakistani gold markets for very small stones, gemstone settings, and fine adjustments on intricate work.

What's the difference between troy ounce and regular ounce?

A troy ounce is 31.1035 g; a regular (avoirdupois) ounce is 28.3495 g — about 10% lighter. Troy ounces are used exclusively for precious metals and gemstones; everyday weights (food, post, shipping) use the regular ounce. Every international spot price for gold, silver, platinum, palladium is in USD per troy ounce. Never confuse the two — a 1 oz gold bar is 31.1 g, not 28.35 g. That 10% difference is the price of a small car if you scale it up.

Can I convert between gold and silver weights?

Yes — weight is weight regardless of the metal. 1 tola of gold and 1 tola of silver weigh the same because tola measures mass, not value. Their MONETARY values are wildly different (gold is roughly 80× more expensive than silver right now), but the weight units convert identically. This calculator doesn't ask you which metal you're weighing because it doesn't need to — the math is the same.

What is a 'carat' vs 'karat'?

Different things entirely, despite sounding identical. Karat (K) measures gold purity out of 24 — so 22K means 22 parts gold, 2 parts alloy. Carat (ct) measures gemstone weight, where 1 carat = 0.2 g. Diamonds and coloured gemstones are sold by carat weight (a 1-carat diamond, for instance). This calculator handles gold and silver weight, so it uses standard metal units (gram, tola, troy ounce). For diamond carat, you'd need a separate tool.

Why does the result show T/M/R and grams together?

Because Pakistani and Indian jewellery transactions routinely reference both modern and traditional units in the same receipt. A proper invoice might read '2 tola 4 masha 6 ratti (26.26 g)' to satisfy older relatives who think in TMR and younger buyers who only do metric. Our calculator shows all representations so you can use whichever matches the context — talking to your nani, you say tola; filing an insurance claim, you say grams.

Does this calculator support older 10-gram tola variants?

It uses the standard 11.6638 g tola, which is the legal and mainstream commercial standard across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. If you're dealing with a local market that uses a non-standard tola — rare today, but historically some areas in interior Sindh and rural Punjab used 10 g or 12 g tolas — convert manually using that specific ratio before or after using this tool. Always confirm with the jeweller in writing which tola convention they're using; the silent shortchange is real.

Quick Answer

Convert precious-metal weights across tola, masha, ratti, grams, and troy ounces — using the exact 1 tola = 11.6638 g and 1 troy oz = 31.1035 g jeweller standards.

Overview — Gold & Silver Weight Converter

Gold & Silver

A gold and silver weight converter translates between all the measurement units used in the precious-metals market: the traditional subcontinental system (tola, masha, ratti), the international metric system (grams), and the global bullion standard (troy ounce). This matters because different market regions use different units — Pakistani and Indian jewellers price per tola, international bullion traders quote per troy ounce, and lab assayers and customs declarations use grams. Traditional Pakistani jewellery receipts and inheritance records are often in TMR (tola/masha/ratti) format, which this tool preserves and displays alongside the international units.

Formula

1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti = 11.6638 g. 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g.

1 tola (11.66 g) is the standard unit for gold pricing across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

1 troy ounce (31.1 g) ≈ 2.67 tola — the international bullion standard used in COMEX and London fixes.

A single ratti (0.12 g) is about the weight of a grain of rice — historically measured against dried Rati seeds.

Notes from the team

You're sitting with your mother going through your late grandmother's gold inventory written in beautiful Urdu in an old register: "چار تولہ سات ماشہ تین رتی" — four tola, seven masha, three ratti. Meanwhile the insurance company wants it in grams. Or you're reading international gold news quoting per troy ounce and trying to translate it into the per-tola rate your local Sarafa Bazar uses. Or you bought a 1 kg gold bar from a Swiss refinery and need to know how many tolas that actually is. This converter handles every translation between the South Asian system (tola, masha, ratti), the international metric system (grams, kilograms), and the global bullion standard (troy ounce). All conversions route through grams internally with the precise factors: 1 tola = 11.6638 g exactly, 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g exactly, 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. No rounding shortcuts, no "approximately 12 grams" laziness — the precise legal standard used by every hallmark and proper invoice in Pakistan. Especially useful when you're bridging generations and conventions: nani thinks in tola, your jeweller writes grams on the receipt, the COMEX quote is in troy ounces, and they all need to agree. Bookmark this — you'll use it more often than you'd expect once gold and silver become part of your financial vocabulary.

Pro tips most people learn the hard way

1 tola = 11.6638 g exactly, NOT 12 g. The rounding error matters: a 3% silent shortchange on a 10-tola purchase is real money. Some informal markets still use a '12-gram tola' — always confirm in writing which convention your jeweller is using.
1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g — about 10% heavier than the regular avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 g) you'd weigh food in. Every international gold and silver spot quote is in troy ounces. Mix up the two and you've created a 10% pricing error on yourself.
Ratti has the most charming etymology of any weight unit anywhere. It's named after the dried seeds of the Rati plant (Abrus precatorius), which are so remarkably uniform in mass that pre-modern jewellers literally balanced gold against piles of them. Beautiful, low-tech precision.
Carat (ct, used for gemstones, 0.2 g) and karat (K, used for gold purity out of 24) sound identical but are completely different things. Don't ever confuse them on a receipt — a "3 carat" diamond and a "3 karat" gold piece have nothing in common.
Pro tip: when reading old family inheritance records in TMR notation, this calculator is your translator to modern grams. Conversely, when speaking to elderly relatives about modern jewellery purchases, convert grams to TMR before you tell them the number — it'll land more naturally.

?What is the Gold & Silver Weight Converter?

The Formula

1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti = 11.6638 g. 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g.

The subcontinental tola system is a duodecimal-octal hybrid: 1 tola divides into 12 mashas, and each masha divides into 8 rattis (so 1 tola = 96 rattis). The tola's weight (11.6638 g) derives from historical British colonial standardization of local weights. The troy ounce (31.1035 g, not to be confused with the avoirdupois ounce of 28.35 g) is the international bullion standard, used in London gold fixes, COMEX futures, and every global spot price. All conversions in this tool route through grams as the SI base unit.

Put It in Perspective

1 tola (11.66 g) is the standard unit for gold pricing across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

1 troy ounce (31.1 g) ≈ 2.67 tola — the international bullion standard used in COMEX and London fixes.

A single ratti (0.12 g) is about the weight of a grain of rice — historically measured against dried Rati seeds.

10 tola of gold (116.64 g) is the typical bridal dowry weight in many Pakistani middle-class weddings.

Practical Examples

1 tola = 11.6638 g = 0.375 troy ounce — the relationship used on every Pakistani jewellery invoice.

1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g = 2.667 tola — how international bullion quotes translate to South Asian shops.

10 g of gold = 0.858 tola = 6 masha 7.6 ratti — typical international-to-traditional conversion.

A 1 kg (1000 g) gold bar = 85.74 tola = 32.15 oz — institutional bullion weight.

Old inheritance record: '5 tola 3 masha 6 ratti' = 58.59 g — preserving traditional notation while converting for insurance.

1 kilo of silver = 85.74 tola = 32.15 oz — useful when reading international silver bar specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because the standard Pakistani and Indian tola is defined as exactly 180 troy grains, which works out to 11.6638 g — not a round number, but a precise historical standard inherited from British colonial weight-system reforms. Some older or informal markets still casually use a '12-gram tola' rounding, but every hallmark stamp, legal document, and proper invoice uses 11.6638. A 3% difference doesn't sound like much until you're buying 10 tola of gold — then it's real money. Always confirm which tola your jeweller is using on the receipt.
