How this oz to grams converter works

By international agreement (1959), one avoirdupois ounce is defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams. To convert ounces to grams, the calculator multiplies your input by this factor; to go the other way it divides grams by the same number. A handy mental rule: 1 oz ≈ 28.35 g and 100 g ≈ 3.5 oz.

A troy ounce is a different unit, used almost exclusively for precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. One troy ounce equals exactly 31.1034768 grams — about 10% heavier than a regular ounce. If you're weighing food, body weight or postage, pick avoirdupois; if you're weighing bullion or jewellery, pick troy.
