Weight Converter

Convert weight between kilograms, grams, pounds, ounces, stones, tonnes, quintals and traditional Indian units like tola, seer and maund.

What is the Weight Converter?

Weight (strictly, mass) is measured in kilograms in the metric system. Pounds and ounces are used in the US and UK, and tola remains common for gold in India.

How does it work?

Every unit is defined by an exact factor relative to the kilogram. The value is converted to the kilogram and then to the target unit, so any pair of units can be converted consistently. Results are shown with up to 10 significant digits.

Formula

1 lb = 0.45359237 kg (exact)
1 tola = 11.6638 g
1 quintal = 100 kg

Example

70 kg = 154.32 lb. 10 grams of gold = 0.857 tola.
