Grams to Ounces Calculator

This calculator converts grams to ounces, and ounces back to grams, using the exact international conversion factor of 1 oz = 28.349523125 g. Grams are the standard metric unit for weighing small amounts, from food and spices to jewellery and postage, while ounces are still widely used in recipes, gym equipment, and precious metal pricing, so having an accurate way to move between the two saves you from rounding errors and guesswork. Enter a weight in grams, or type a figure straight into the ounces field to convert the other way, and choose whether you want avoirdupois ounces (the everyday standard used for food and general goods) or troy ounces (used for gold, silver, and other precious metals, and about 9.7% heavier). The calculator instantly returns the result in ounces, the equivalent in grams, a pounds-and-ounces breakdown for reference, and the underlying conversion factor, along with a quick reference table covering common weights from one ounce up to a kilogram. Nine preset buttons let you jump straight to typical NZ pack sizes like 125 g butter blocks, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg without typing. Because avoirdupois and troy ounces differ, always check which type you need, especially when weighing precious metals.

How to Convert Grams to Ounces

The avoirdupois ounce is the standard ounce used in everyday life for food, postage, and general goods. The international standard defines 1 pound (lb) as exactly 453.59237 grams. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, 1 oz = 453.59237 / 16 = 28.349523125 g exactly.

To convert grams to ounces, divide by 28.349523125:

Ounces = Grams / 28.349523125

To go the other way (ounces to grams), multiply by 28.349523125:

Grams = Ounces x 28.349523125

Worked Example

Convert 100 grams to ounces:

  1. Divide by the conversion factor: 100 / 28.349523125
  2. Result: 3.5274 oz (avoirdupois, rounded to 4 decimal places)

This matches the default output shown in the calculator above.

Troy ounce: 1 troy pound = 12 troy oz = 373.2417216 g, giving 1 troy oz = 31.1034768 g (London Bullion Market Association, ISO 4217 XAU convention).

This calculator uses the international avoirdupois standard by default. For precious metal weights, select the troy ounce option. Results are rounded to four decimal places for display; the underlying computation uses full precision.
