How It Works & Calculation Method

In Pakistan and across South Asia, physical precious metals are traditionally traded using traditional Sarafa metrological units: tolas, mashas, and rattis. Standardized at 180 troy grains (11.6638038g), Pakistan's Sarafa markets fix 1 standard tola at 11.664 grams.

When comparing local Sarafa market rates against London bullion quotes (LBMA) in troy ounces, accurate conversion is essential for fair pricing and avoiding jeweler rounding discrepancies.

The tool normalizes your input into metric grams using Pakistan's Sarafa bullion standard (1 Tola = 11.664g) and LBMA troy ounce mass (31.1034768g), then projects all six target units simultaneously.

It supports 1 Tola = 11.664 grams, 1 Tola = 12 Masha, 1 Masha = 8 Ratti (96 Ratti per Tola), 1 Troy Ounce = 31.1034768 grams, and 1 Kilogram = 1,000 grams.

Mathematical Formula

Grams = Tolas * 11.664 | Masha = Tolas * 12 | Ratti = Tolas * 96 | Troy Ounces = Grams / 31.1034768

How It Calculates: Step-by-Step Mathematical Logic

Exact algorithmic sequence, statutory thresholds, and rounding rules executed by the Gold Weight Converter:

  1. 1

    Normalize Input Unit to Base Metric Grams

    gram: V | tola: V * 11.664 | masha: (V / 12) * 11.664 | ratti: (V / 96) * 11.664 | ounce: V * 31.1034768 | kg: V * 1000

    Converts any entered weight V into exact metric grams using Pakistan's 11.664g Sarafa tola constant and the 31.1034768g LBMA troy ounce constant.

  2. 2

    Convert Base Grams to Pakistani Tolas

    Tolas = Grams / 11.664

    Divides metric grams by 11.664g per tola (where 10g = 0.857339 tolas, 100g = 8.573388 tolas, and 1 kg = 85.733882 tolas).

  3. 3

    Derive Traditional Masha & Ratti Sub-Units

    Masha = Tolas * 12 (0.972g each) | Ratti = Tolas * 96 (0.1215g each)

    Maps fractional bullion mass into South Asian jeweler subdivisions using 12 masha per tola and 8 ratti per masha.

  4. 4

    Convert Grams to International LBMA Troy Ounces

    TroyOunces = Grams / 31.1034768 (1 Troy Oz = 2.666622 Tolas)

    Applies the 480-grain precious-metal troy ounce rather than the lighter 28.3495g everyday avoirdupois ounce.

  5. 5

    Scale Karat Purity & Live Bullion Spot Valuation

    PurityFactor = Karat / 24 (24K=1.00, 22K=0.9167, 21K=0.875, 18K=0.75) | ValuePKR = Grams * SpotPerGramPKR * PurityFactor

    Optionally multiplies converted pure-gold gram mass by live XAU/PKR per-gram bullion rates and selected karat alloy fineness.

Worked Example: Converting 5 Tolas of Gold to Grams

A jeweler needs to know the exact metric gram weight of a 5-tola bridal gold necklace.

•Base formula: 1 tola = 11.664 grams.
•Multiply weight: 5 tolas * 11.664 = 58.32 grams.
•In mashas: 5 tolas * 12 = 60 masha (480 ratti).
•In troy ounces: 58.32 / 31.1034768 = 1.875 troy ounces.
Final Result: 5 Tolas = 58.32 Grams (60 Masha / 1.875 Troy Ounces)

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • •Confusing standard avoirdupois ounces (28.35g) with precious metal troy ounces (31.1035g).
  • •Using an informal rounded 10g or 12g tola rate instead of Pakistan's standard 11.664g tola.
  • •Failing to separate gemstone weight from precious gold bullion weight.

Who This Tool Is For

  • •Jewelers, bullion dealers, and goldsmiths crafting custom ornaments.
  • •Individuals purchasing wedding jewelry or gold investment coins.
  • •Zakat payers calculating precious metal Nisab thresholds.

What is a Tola and How to Convert Gold Weights

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams are in 1 tola of gold in Pakistan?
In Pakistan's Sarafa bullion markets, 1 standard tola equals 11.664 grams (derived from the statutory British Indian weight of 180 troy grains, or 11.6638038 grams). Pakistani jewelers use 11.664 grams per tola uniformly across Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar gold markets.
How many masha and ratti are in 1 tola of gold?
One tola is divided into exactly 12 masha, and each masha is subdivided into 8 ratti, giving 96 ratti in 1 complete tola. In metric mass, 1 masha weighs 0.972 grams (11.664 / 12) and 1 ratti weighs 0.1215 grams (11.664 / 96).
How many tolas are in 1 troy ounce of international bullion?
One international troy ounce weighs 31.1034768 grams, which converts to 2.6666 tolas (31.1034768 / 11.664). Conversely, 1 Pakistani tola equals 0.3750 troy ounces (exactly three-eighths of a troy ounce).
Why is a gold troy ounce (31.1035g) heavier than a regular ounce (28.3495g)?
Global precious metals like gold (XAU) and silver (XAG) are exclusively quoted in troy ounces of 31.1034768 grams (480 troy grains) under LBMA bullion standards. A standard avoirdupois ounce used for food and everyday parcels weighs only 28.3495231 grams (437.5 grains), making a troy ounce 9.71% heavier.
How do I convert a 10-gram gold rate into a 1-tola gold price in Pakistan?
Divide the 10-gram gold price by 10 to get the 1-gram rate and multiply by 11.664, which is equivalent to multiplying the 10-gram quote directly by 1.1664. Conversely, divide any 1-tola Sarafa gold price by 1.1664 to obtain the exact 10-gram bullion rate.
How many tolas are in 10 grams, 100 grams, and 1 kilogram of gold?
Ten grams of gold equal 0.8573 tolas, while 100 grams of gold equal 8.5734 tolas using Pakistan's 11.664-gram tola standard. One standard 1-kilogram bullion bar (1,000 grams) equals 85.7339 tolas or 32.1507 troy ounces.
What is the Zakat Gold and Silver Nisab converted from tolas into grams?
The Islamic Gold Nisab of 7.5 tolas equals exactly 87.48 grams (7.5 multiplied by 11.664 grams). The Silver Nisab of 52.5 tolas equals exactly 612.36 grams (52.5 multiplied by 11.664 grams).
Does 22K gold weigh differently than 24K pure gold in tolas and grams?
Physical mass conversions between tolas, grams, mashas, and rattis are identical regardless of karat, because weight measures total mass rather than alloy purity. However, fine gold content scales by karat purity: 24K is 99.9% pure gold, 22K is 91.67% gold, 21K is 87.50% gold, and 18K is 75.00% gold.
What is kaat (wastage or polish deduction) when selling gold jewelry in Pakistan?
When buying back used 21K or 22K ornaments, Pakistani jewelers commonly apply a 1 to 2 ratti per tola deduction (1.04% to 2.08% of weight, or 0.1215g to 0.243g per tola) to account for solder impurities. Certified 24K ARY, Millat, or PAMP Suisse bullion bars and biscuits carry zero kaat deduction and trade strictly on stamped gram or tola mass.
How do you convert international USD per ounce spot gold prices into PKR per tola?
Multiply the live XAU USD per troy ounce spot price by the USD-to-PKR exchange rate, divide by 31.1034768 to get PKR per gram, and multiply by 11.664 (or multiply USD/oz by PKR/USD by 0.375). Local Sarafa market retail rates may trade Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 per tola above or below theoretical import parity due to local demand and customs duties.
