Where the ounce to gram factor comes from

  1. The international avoirdupois pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 international yard and pound agreement.
  2. The avoirdupois ounce is one sixteenth of that pound: 0.45359237 ÷ 16 = 0.028349523125 kg exactly.
  3. A kilogram is 1000 grams, so one ounce is exactly 28.349523125 g. Every digit of that number is definitional, which is why this converter can show it in full.
  4. grams = ounces × 28.349523125. The rounded 28.35 that most charts print is fine for cooking but drifts at larger weights, so UnitGlide keeps the exact factor.

Common mistakes

Troy ounces weigh more

A troy ounce is 31.1034768 g, not 28.349523125 g. If you are weighing gold, silver or platinum, the price is quoted per troy ounce and this page will read about 10 percent light. Everything else (food, post, parcels, body weight) uses the avoirdupois ounce shown here.

Fluid ounces are volume

A fluid ounce does not weigh an ounce. One US fluid ounce of water weighs about 29.6 g, not 28.3 g, and one fluid ounce of oil or flour weighs something else again. Grams measure mass, so converting fl oz to grams needs the density of the specific substance, not a fixed factor.

To convert ounces to grams, multiply the number of ounces by 28.3495. One ounce equals 28.3495 grams, and one gram equals 0.035274 ounces, so the relationship is fixed and exact. As a worked example, 10 oz comes to 283.5 g. Enter your own figure in the converter above to get an instant answer, or use the swap button to flip the direction. This is a mass conversion, and like every tool on UnitGlide it runs locally in your browser with no account or upload required. The table further down shows a range of common ounce values already worked out in grams, plus the reverse gram to ounce direction, which is handy for quick reference or double-checking a result by hand.
