What is a tola?
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to 11.664 grams, still widely used for gold and silver trading across the UAE, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. At the Dubai Gold Souk, dealers routinely quote both per-gram and per-tola prices to serve the region's huge expat community.
The tola became standardised at 11.664 grams in the colonial era and remains the legal weight for gold bars minted by Swiss refiners specifically for the South Asian diaspora market.
How to calculate tola prices
The formula is simple: multiply the live per-gram rate by 11.664. For example, if 24K gold is AED 315 per gram, then 1 tola of 24K is 315 × 11.664 = AED 3,674.16. The grid above does this calculation live for all five carats, refreshed every 5 minutes.
When buying a physical tola bar, retailers add a small premium above spot to cover refining, minting, and their margin — typically 2-5% depending on the refiner and size.
