A decagram is 10 grams. It is common on food labels and deli counters in Central Europe, where ham and cheese are often sold per 10 dag (100 g).
How to use the Decagram to Gram Converter
- Type the number of decagrams into the Decagrams field. Decimals such as 0.5 are fine.
- Read the answer in Grams – it updates as you type, with no button to press.
- To convert the other way, type into Grams and the decagrams are recalculated.
- Press Copy results to copy both values with the page title, or Copy link to share this exact conversion.

How it works
Both units measure weight, so they are always in the same ratio: one decagram equals 10 grams. The calculator multiplies the number of decagrams you type by 10 to give grams, and when you type into the grams field it divides by the same factor to give decagrams. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the decagrams always doubles the grams. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation).
How to convert decagrams to grams
- Write down the value in decagrams, for example 1 dag.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 10 (because 1 decagram = 10 g).
- 1 × 10 = 10 g.
- To go back from grams to decagrams, divide by 10 – or multiply by 0.1.
