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.
