Weight Conversion Formula
The converter uses grams as an internal base unit, consistent with international quantities and units standards. To convert between two units, multiply the input value by the source unit's gram factor, then divide by the target unit's gram factor.
Result = (Input value * Source factor in grams) / Target factor in gramsExamples using the relevant conversion factors:
- Kilograms to grams: multiply by 1,000.
- Kilograms to pounds: multiply by approximately 2.20462.
- Kilograms to Tola using the 11.6638-gram definition: divide 1,000 by 11.6638 to obtain approximately 85.73535 Tola per kilogram.
Frequently Asked Questions

2. How many grams are in 1 Tola?
Using the 11.6638-gram Tola definition, 1 Tola = 11.6638 grams. Check which Tola standard applies when converting precious-metal weights.
3. How do I convert kilograms to pounds?
Multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.20462262 to convert it to pounds.
Formula: Pounds = Kilograms * 2.20462262
For example, 5 kg is approximately 11.0231 pounds.
4. What is the difference between a troy ounce and an ounce?
A standard avoirdupois ounce equals approximately 28.3495 grams, while a troy ounce equals approximately 31.1035 grams. Troy ounces are commonly used to measure precious metals such as gold and silver; avoirdupois ounces are used for everyday weight measurements.
5. How many kilograms are in a metric tonne?
One metric tonne equals 1,000 kilograms. For example, 2 metric tonnes equal 2,000 kg. A metric tonne is different from a US short ton and an Imperial long ton.
6. Can I use this converter to estimate the value of silver by Tola?
This converter can convert silver weight between supported units. For silver value in Nepal, check the current silver price in Nepal. For dedicated silver weight conversion, use the silver converter.
7. Is weight the same as mass?
Not exactly. Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass. In everyday use, people often use "weight" to mean mass, and this converter converts mass units such as kilograms, grams, and pounds.
