How this works: Each row is a kitchen rule of thumb versus the grams of sugar you type: honey, maple and agave at 0.75×, erythritol at 1.33×, stevia as grams/800 in teaspoons, applesauce at 2×, and 1:1 for brown sugar, coconut sugar, monk fruit, xylitol and allulose. These are volume/sweetness substitutes for recipes, not nutrition labels or medical advice.

This sugar sweetener conversion calculator turns a sugar amount in grams into typical substitute quantities for honey, maple syrup, stevia, monk fruit, and other common sweeteners. Ratios are for swapping sweetness in recipes, not nutrition claims. Liquid substitutes usually need a small cut in other liquids — those notes stay on the live table.

Sugar to sweetener ratios

These factors are the same ones the calculator applies when you type a sugar weight. Amounts for 100 g and 200 g of sugar are shown so you can check the live result.

Stevia is reported in teaspoons (grams ÷ 800). Erythritol uses × 1.33. Applesauce and mashed banana use × 2 by weight.

How the conversions work

Enter sugar in grams. Honey, maple syrup, and agave are each sugar × 0.75. Brown sugar, coconut sugar, monk fruit, xylitol, and allulose stay 1:1 by weight. Erythritol is sugar × 1.33. Stevia is sugar grams ÷ 800, labelled in teaspoons. Applesauce and mashed banana are sugar × 2. Liquid rows in the tool still remind you to reduce other liquids (¼ cup for honey/agave/applesauce/banana; 3 tbsp for maple) and to add ½ tsp baking soda with honey.

Sugar sweetener FAQ

How do I convert sugar to honey?

Use 75% of the sugar weight: 200 g sugar → 150 g honey. The tool also notes honey is liquid — reduce other liquids by about ¼ cup and add ½ tsp baking soda.

How much stevia equals 200 g of sugar?

This calculator uses sugar grams ÷ 800 in teaspoons, so 200 g of sugar → 0.250 tsp of stevia. It is very concentrated; start small.

Is monk fruit a 1:1 sugar replacement?

By weight in this chart, yes: 200 g sugar → 200 g monk fruit. The live table notes liquid or powder forms and no aftertaste.

Why does erythritol use more grams than sugar?

The script treats erythritol as about 70% as sweet, so it multiplies sugar grams by 1.33 (200 g sugar → 266 g erythritol).

Can I swap brown sugar 1:1 for white sugar?

Yes. Brown sugar, coconut sugar, xylitol, allulose, and monk fruit are 1:1 by weight here. (The interactive table refreshes from those ratios when you change the gram input.)

Is xylitol safe around pets?

The conversion is 1:1 by weight with sugar. The notes in the tool flag that xylitol is toxic to dogs — keep it away from pets. This page is a recipe swap chart, not medical advice.
