Convert butter grams, ounces, or US sticks to US or metric teaspoons, or teaspoons back to mass, for solid or melted butter using density-based values.
Note: Results are approximate kitchen conversions. Spoon measures vary with temperature and how butter is packed/leveled; for best accuracy (especially in baking), weigh butter with a scale. Melted-butter density varies by temperature. Assumptions use standard US/metric teaspoon volumes and common serving-size references (e.g., Nutrition Facts/USDA-style data). The default melted value is inherited from the original calculator rather than verified for a specific temperature. A measured density override is available.
Common Mistakes Quick tips
- Choose Teaspoons from mass or Mass from teaspoons, then enter the one quantity shown. Select the butter assumption; a measured density override is optional.
- Not choosing the correct butter state. Solid and melted estimates use different assumptions. A measured density override takes precedence over either selection.
- Mixing teaspoon types. US tsp = 4.92892 mL; Metric tsp = 5 mL.
- Assuming water-density conversions apply to butter. Butter is typically less dense than water, especially when melted.
- Forgetting stick/oz conversions: 1 US stick = 113.4 g; 1 oz = 28.3495 g.
When to Use This Calculator
- Converting recipe weights (g/oz/sticks) to small teaspoon measures for finishing or seasoning.
- Standardizing recipe cards across US and metric kitchens.
- Estimating teaspoon equivalents when portioning solid vs melted butter.
Input Definitions
- Butter State โ Solid results are derived from a standard kitchen reference (1 US tbsp butter โ 14.2 g; 1 US tbsp = 3 US tsp = 14.78676 mL โ ~0.9603 g/mL). Melted butter retains the original assumed density (0.911 g/mL), not verified for a specific temperature. Enter a measured density override when available.
- Butter Mass โ enter in g, oz (28.3495 g), or US sticks (113.4 g per stick).
- Teaspoons โ select US tsp (4.92892 mL) or Metric tsp (5 mL).
- Conversion โ tsp = mass_g รท (ฯ ร tsp_mL); mass_g = tsp ร ฯ ร tsp_mL.

Butter Grams to Tsps Formula
These formulas convert butter mass in grams to teaspoons and back. Choose US teaspoons (4.92892 mL per tsp) or metric teaspoons (5 mL per tsp), and choose the solid/softened vs melted assumption used for the conversion.
- US teaspoon = 4.92892 mL; Metric teaspoon = 5 mL.
- Standard kitchen reference (solid/softened): 1 US tbsp butter โ 14.2 g (โ3 US tsp) used to derive solid conversions; melted butter uses an approximate density (~0.911 g/mL) that varies with temperature.
- 1 US stick of butter = 113.4 g; 1 oz = 28.3495 g.
How do you convert grams of butter to teaspoons? Divide grams by (density ร teaspoon mL); for US teaspoons with solid/softened butter, tsp โ grams รท (0.9603 ร 4.92892).
How do you convert teaspoons of butter to grams? Multiply teaspoons by density and the chosen teaspoon volume; for US teaspoons with melted butter, grams โ tsp ร 0.911 ร 4.92892.

| * Assumes solid/softened butter based on a standard kitchen reference (about 14.2 g per US tbsp; 1 US tsp = 4.92892 mL). Melted butter is typically less dense, so it often measures slightly more teaspoons per gram, depending on temperature and measurement method. | |
Example Problem
Convert 14.2 g of solid butter to US teaspoons.
Use the US formula: tspUS = m รท (ฯ ร 4.92892).
tspUS = 14.2 รท ((14.2/(3 ร 4.92892)) ร 4.92892) = 3 tsp under the selected approximation
