Troy Ounce vs. Gram
The troy ounce is the international standard for gold trading. It's different from a regular kitchen ounce:
| Unit | Weight in Grams | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Troy Ounce | 31.1035 g | Gold, silver, platinum trading |
| Avoirdupois Ounce | 28.3495 g | Everyday items, food, postage |
Important: A troy ounce is about 10% heavier than a regular ounce. If you use the wrong conversion, your gold valuation will be off by 10%. Learn more in our Gold Weight Units guide.
How to Convert Gold Price to Grams
Two simple formulas:
Price per gram = Price per troy ounce ÷ 31.1035
Price per ounce = Price per gram × 31.1035

Why Gold Is Priced per Ounce
Gold has been traded in troy ounces since the Middle Ages — the unit takes its name from Troyes, a French market city. Today, all major exchanges (COMEX, LBMA, Shanghai Gold Exchange) quote gold in troy ounces per USD.
The gram is more intuitive for retail buyers, which is why jewelry stores and local markets use it. But for investment and trading, the troy ounce remains king.
Whether you're buying jewelry or tracking spot prices, understanding the gram-to-ounce relationship is essential. Use our Gold Calculator for instant conversions, or check live gold prices in your currency.
