How It Works
This tool converts between metric (kg, grams, tons) and imperial/regional weight units (pounds, ounces, stone, tola), covering both everyday and regionally specific units in one place.
The conversion base
All units convert through grams internally: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 pound = 453.592 g, 1 ounce = 28.3495 g, 1 stone = 6.35029 kg (14 lbs), and 1 tola (used for gold/silver weight in South Asia) = 11.6638 g.
Examples
Body weight
A person weighing 70 kg weighs 70 × 2.20462 ≈ 154.3 lbs, or exactly 11 stone 0.3 lbs.
Gold weight
A 10-tola gold bar weighs 10 × 11.6638 ≈ 116.64 grams.
Common Use Cases
- Converting body weight between kg and lbs/stone for fitness tracking or medical forms
- Converting gold/silver weight between grams and tola for jewelry purchases
- Recipe and cooking conversions between metric and imperial weight units
- Shipping and postal weight conversions between kg and lbs
Tips
- "Stone" (used mainly in the UK/Ireland for body weight) equals 14 pounds — a common mistake is treating it like a metric unit and assuming a clean round conversion, when it doesn't align neatly with either kg or lbs on its own.
- Tola is specifically a South Asian unit for precious metals — if you're buying gold in the Middle East or comparing to Western markets, convert to grams first since that's the universal jewelry-industry reference unit.
