This is a difficult question to answer as the Talent varied depending upon the area in which it was used. As an example, the Babylonian Talent (as used in the Old Testament) was equivalent to 30.3 kg whereas in the New Testament, what was known as the 'Common talent' was equivalent to only 58.9 kg.
And, as the Talent was a unit of weight rather than of currency, its actual worth depended upon whether or not it was a Talent of silver or of gold.
Whatever its form, the Talent, transferred to a weight of gold or silver, was an extraordinary amount of money.
If we assume a New Testament talent of gold, this represents 58900 grams of gold. At today's prices (April 2011) one gram of gold is worth about US$ 46 (or £28 approx). This means that 120 talents of gold are $46 x 58900 x 120.
This is $325,128,000 or £197,904,000.

The value of 120 talents of gold can vary based on current gold prices. As of October 2023, gold is approximately $1,900 per ounce. A talent is roughly equivalent to 75 pounds or about 1,200 ounces, so 120 talents would equal about 144,000 ounces. This means 120 talents of gold would be valued at approximately $273 million.
The value of gold fluctuates based on market conditions, but as of my last update, gold was priced around $1,900 per ounce. One talent is approximately 33 kilograms or about 2,204.62 ounces. Therefore, 120 talents of gold would weigh roughly 2,000 kilograms, equating to about 4.4 million ounces. At $1,900 per ounce, that would make 120 talents of gold worth approximately $8.36 billion.
