Convert flour tablespoons, teaspoons, cups, or milliliters to grams by flour type and measuring method, or calculate volume from grams.

Convert a flour volume to grams.

Kitchen estimate. Scooped and sifted factors are illustrative assumptions; weigh flour when precision matters.

Custom flour weight

Blank uses the selected flour reference. Enter a measured value to override it; the method factor still applies.

Assumptions Assumptions
  • Conversions are volume-to-weight using typical densities; actual weights vary by brand, grind, humidity, and technique.
  • “Spoon & level” is the reference. Sifted ×0.90 and scooped/packed ×1.10 retain the original illustrative assumptions; actual packing changes are not universal.
  • Base weights per US cup (approx.): AP 120 g; Bread 120 g; Whole wheat 113 g; Unbleached cake 120 g; Pastry 106 g; Self-rising 113 g; Almond 96 g; Coconut 128 g; Medium rye 106 g; Oat 92 g. Reference: King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart.
  • Unit standards used: 1 US cup = 236.5882365 mL; 1 US tbsp = 14.78676478125 mL; 1 US tsp = 4.92892159375 mL; 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp.
  • Results are in grams only; for ounces, divide grams by 28.3495.
When to Use This Calculator
  • When a recipe lists tablespoons/teaspoons of flour but you prefer weighing in grams.
  • When estimating flour weight for a different type or measuring method. Consistent dough/batter hydration requires weighing and following the recipe.
  • For small-quantity thickeners or dusting flour where spoon measures are common.
Input Definitions
  • Flour Type — selects the base grams-per-cup for the chosen flour.
  • Measurement Method — adjusts density: sifted (×0.90), spoon & level (×1.00), scooped/packed (×1.10).
  • Flour Volume — enter US tbsp/tsp/cups or mL; calculator converts volume to cups, then to grams.
  • Grams — enter grams to convert back to the chosen volume unit.
  • Conversions — grams = cups × Gcup × Fmethod; for tablespoons: grams = tbsp × (Gcup × Fmethod) ÷ 16.

Flour Tbsp to Grams Formula

Use the following formula to convert tablespoons of flour to grams; it adjusts for flour type and how the flour is measured.

grams = tbsp × (Gcup × Fmethod) / (16)
  • US cup = 236.5882365 mL; 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp.
  • US tablespoon = 14.78676478125 mL; US teaspoon = 4.92892159375 mL.
  • Base grams per US cup: AP 120 g; Bread 120 g; Whole wheat 113 g; Unbleached cake 120 g; Pastry 106 g; Self-rising 113 g; Almond 96 g; Coconut 128 g; Medium rye 106 g; Oat 92 g. Reference: King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart.
  • Illustrative method factors: sifted = 0.90; reference = 1.00; scooped/packed = 1.10. These are assumptions, not measured constants.

* Based on AP flour spoon & level: 120 g per US cup ⇒ 7.5 g per tbsp.

How do you convert tablespoons of flour to grams? Multiply US tablespoons by (grams per cup ÷ 16) using the selected flour type and method; for all-purpose spoon & level, use 7.5 g per tablespoon.

How do you convert grams of flour to tablespoons? Divide grams by (grams per cup ÷ 16); for all-purpose spoon & level, divide grams by 7.5 to get US tablespoons.

Example Problem

Convert 3.5 US tablespoons of all-purpose flour (spoon & level) to grams.

Use the formula: grams = tbsp × (Gcup × Fmethod) ÷ 16.

grams = 3.5 × (120 × 1.00) ÷ 16 = 26.25 g
