| Measurement | Grams | Pounds |

This cooking cups to grams converter turns US cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons into grams, pounds, and ounces for a specific ingredient. A cup of flour does not weigh the same as a cup of sugar, so each result uses that ingredient’s cup weight. Type in one field — cups, tbsp, or tsp — and the last field you edit is the one that counts.
Figures below match the converter: cup grams are the source of truth; tablespoon and teaspoon weights are cup ÷ 16 and cup ÷ 48.
| Ingredient | 1 US cup | 1 tbsp | 1 tsp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar (granulated) | 200.0g | 12.5g | 4.2g |
| Flour (all-purpose) | 120.0g | 7.5g | 2.5g |
| Honey | 340.0g | 21.3g | 7.1g |
| Oatmeal | 90.0g | 5.6g | 1.9g |
| Butter | 225.0g | 14.1g | 4.7g |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 220.0g | 13.8g | 4.6g |
| Cocoa powder | 100.0g | 6.3g | 2.1g |
| Baking powder | 70.0g | 4.4g | 1.5g |
| Baking soda | 75.0g | 4.7g | 1.6g |
| Salt (table) | 290.0g | 18.1g | 6.0g |
| Cinnamon powder | 80.0g | 5.0g | 1.7g |
| Milk (whole) | 240.0g | 15.0g | 5.0g |
| Water | 236.6g | 14.8g | 4.9g |
Pounds = grams ÷ 453.592; ounces = grams ÷ 28.3495. Packed brown sugar is listed separately from granulated sugar.
1 US cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. Grams = cup-grams × cups, or cup-grams/16 × tablespoons, or cup-grams/48 × teaspoons. The three inputs are not added together: whichever field you last typed drives the result. Honey is the heaviest cup here (340 g); oatmeal is the lightest (90 g). Milk is treated as whole milk at 240 g per cup, and water is 236.6 g per US cup (about 1 g/ml).
Not every "cup" is the same size: a US cup is 236.6 ml, while the metric cup used in New Zealand, Australia and the UK is 250 ml — about 5.7% more. Use the US Cup / Metric Cup toggle above the inputs to switch; tablespoons and teaspoons scale with whichever cup is selected, so the figures stay consistent with each other.
In the US, butter is commonly sold in sticks: 1 stick = ½ US cup = 8 tablespoons = about 113 g (4 oz). This is a fixed physical size, so the Sticks field always uses the US cup regardless of which cup mode is selected. Select Butter above and the Sticks field appears so you can enter sticks directly instead of converting by hand.
In this cooking cups to grams converter, 1 US cup of all-purpose flour is 120 g. A tablespoon is 7.5 g and a teaspoon is 2.5 g (cup weight ÷ 16 and ÷ 48).
Granulated sugar is 200 g per US cup here, so ½ cup is 100 g and 1 tablespoon is 12.5 g. Choose “Sugar (granulated)” in the tool and enter cups, tbsp, or tsp.
Both — use the US Cup / Metric Cup toggle above the inputs. 1 US cup is 236.6 ml; 1 metric cup (used in NZ, Australia and the UK) is 250 ml, about 5.7% larger. Tablespoons and teaspoons scale the same way as cups (cup ÷ 16 and cup ÷ 48) in whichever mode is selected.
1 US cup of butter is 225 g in this table (about 0.50 lb). A tablespoon of butter is 14.1 g.
In the US, 1 stick of butter is ½ cup — 112.5 g in this converter (225 g cup ÷ 2), about 4 oz. Select Butter and use the Sticks field, or enter 8 tablespoons for the same amount.
Volume-to-weight depends on density. The converter keeps cup grams as the source of truth per ingredient, then derives tbsp and tsp so they always agree with that cup weight.
48 teaspoons, or 16 tablespoons. That identity is hard-coded: tbsp = cup grams ÷ 16, tsp = cup grams ÷ 48.
About 236.6 g for 1 US cup here (water ≈ 1 g/ml). A tablespoon is 14.8 g and a teaspoon is 4.9 g (cup weight ÷ 16 and ÷ 48).
