How it is calculated
grams = amount × unit size in US cups × 226. 1 tbsp = 1/16 cup, 1 tsp = 1/48 cup, metric cup 250 mL = 1.0567 US cups, 1 US stick = 1/2 cup. 1 oz = 28.3495 g.
Example
Inputs: Amount = 0.5, Unit = US cup (236.6 mL). Result: Weight in grams: 113 g; Weight in ounces: 3.99 oz.
Limits and caveats
- The chart gives 113 g per half cup, so a cup here is 226 g; exactly 8 oz would be 226.8 g.
- Chart figures are rounded to the gram, and a scale is more exact than any cup.
- Metric cup (250 mL) and spoon values are scaled by volume from the 236.59 mL US cup figure.
Questions about this tool
How many grams is 1/2 cup of butter?
Half a US cup is 113 g, because a full cup is 226 g in the chart; a quarter cup is 56.5 g.
How many grams is one US stick of butter?
One stick is 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons and weighs 113 g (4 oz) in the chart. Pick the stick unit in the tool.
Why do cup weights differ between websites?
Charts assume different ways of filling the cup. This tool uses the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart: 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup, one US stick) of butter = 113 g, so 1 cup is 226 g.
