Tbsp to Grams Calculator

Convert tablespoons to grams for any cooking ingredient. A tablespoon of butter weighs almost three times as much as a tablespoon of cocoa powder, so the ingredient matters. Select yours from the list and get a precise gram weight.

Tablespoons are one of the most-used measuring units in cooking, but many recipes (especially European ones) specify ingredients in grams. This converter bridges the gap.

Tablespoon to Grams Reference:

Ingredient 1 tbsp (g) 2 tbsp (g) 4 tbsp / 1/4 cup (g)
Granulated Sugar 12.5 25.0 50.0
All-Purpose Flour 7.8 15.6 31.2
Butter 14.2 28.4 56.8
Table Salt 18.0 36.0 72.0
Honey 21.3 42.6 85.2
Olive Oil 13.5 27.0 54.0
Cocoa Powder 5.4 10.8 21.6
Brown Sugar 13.8 27.6 55.2

Volume relationships: 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14.79 mL. 16 tablespoons = 1 US cup.

Measuring tip: For dry ingredients, fill the tablespoon and level it off with a straight edge. For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the spoon with cooking spray first so the honey slides off cleanly.
