The tola in the Dubai gold market
1 tola equals exactly 11.664 grams — the same value used in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The unit originated in Mughal India and remains the standard quote weight for gold across the Indian subcontinent and the Gulf's South Asian expat community.
At the Dubai Gold Souk, any South Asian shopkeeper will instantly quote you tola prices without you asking. The per-tola calculation is simply the per-gram rate × 11.664, so comparing Dubai vs Indian tola prices is straightforward once you know both per-gram rates.
How much is 1 tola in grams?
1 tola = 11.664 grams exactly. Some older references use 11.66g or 11.7g as approximations, but the precise legal definition across the Indian subcontinent is 11.664g. At this weight, a 22K tola piece is roughly 10.7g of pure gold and 1g of alloy.
Frequently Asked Questions
The live price of 1 tola of gold in Dubai is shown at the top of this page in AED for 24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, and 14K. It is calculated from the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group's live per-gram fix multiplied by 11.664 grams.
Dubai has zero import duty and zero-rated VAT on investment-grade gold (99%+ purity). Making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk are also highly competitive. The savings vs other countries grow with weight — the larger the piece, the bigger the absolute saving on tax and duty.
Making charges in Dubai typically range from AED 10 to AED 80 per gram for machine-made pieces, and significantly higher for handmade or designer work. On 1 tola, that's roughly AED 117 to AED 933 depending on the piece and shop.
Investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher (24K bars and coins) is zero-rated for UAE VAT — so 1 tola of 24K investment gold is VAT-free. Jewelry attracts 5% VAT but only on the making charge, not on the underlying gold value.
