What is the Gold Weight Converter?
Jewellers in Pakistan write weights as tola, masha and ratti (for example 1 tola 4 masha 2 ratti), while receipts from abroad show grams and bullion prices use troy ounces. The gold weight converter handles all of them.
Type a weight in any unit to see every other unit and the traditional tola-masha-ratti breakdown. To turn a weight into a price, use the Gold Calculator; for a simple tola to gram conversion use Tola to Grams.
How to use the Gold Weight Converter
