1 US tablespoon of granulated sugar weighs 12.5g. Brown sugar (packed) weighs 13.75g per tablespoon. Powdered (icing) sugar weighs 7.5g per tablespoon because it’s much lighter and more finely ground. Use the chip selector above to switch between sugar types.

1 US tablespoon of butter weighs 14.18g (227g ÷ 16). US butter packaging marks each tablespoon on the wrapper. 8 tablespoons = ½ cup = 113g = 1 stick. For melted butter, the weight is the same but the volume may differ slightly due to air bubbles.

A tablespoon measures volume (14.79ml in the US), not weight. Dense ingredients like honey fill that 14.79ml volume with 21.25g of mass, while light ingredients like almond flour only pack 6.0g into the same space. This is why ingredient-specific conversion is essential — a generic “1 tbsp = 15g” rule will be wrong for most ingredients.

The US customary tablespoon is 14.7868ml. The metric tablespoon (used in Australia, Canada, UK) is exactly 15ml. The Australian tablespoon is 20ml. For flour, this means: 1 US tbsp = 7.81g, 1 metric tbsp = 7.50g, 1 Australian tbsp = 10.0g. Use the “Tablespoon standard” selector in the converter above to switch between them.

It depends on the ingredient. For all-purpose flour: 100g ÷ 7.81g/tbsp ≈ 12.8 tablespoons. For granulated sugar: 100g ÷ 12.5g/tbsp = 8 tablespoons. For honey: 100g ÷ 21.25g/tbsp ≈ 4.7 tablespoons. Enter 100 into the converter above and select your ingredient for any result.
