Ounce types: important note

This calculator uses the standard avoirdupois ounce (1 oz = 28.349523125 g), which is the common ounce used for food and general weight.

There is also a troy ounce used for precious metals, where 1 troy oz = 31.1034768 g. If you are working with gold, silver, or bullion, use a troy ounce converter instead.

Rounding tips for better accuracy

  • Everyday kitchen use: round to 1 or 2 decimals.
  • Nutrition labels: usually 1 decimal is enough.
  • Scientific or lab work: keep 3+ decimals as needed.

A small rounding difference is usually harmless for cooking, but precision matters in chemistry, supplements, and specialty production.
