Convert flour tablespoons, teaspoons, cups, or milliliters to grams by flour type and measuring method, or calculate volume from grams.
Assumptions Assumptions
- Conversions are volume-to-weight using typical densities; actual weights vary by brand, grind, humidity, and technique.
- “Spoon & level” is the default; “Sifted” is ~10% lighter; “Scooped/packed” is ~10% heavier.
- Base weights per US cup (approx.): AP 120 g; Bread 120 g; Whole wheat 120 g; Cake 113 g; Pastry 113 g; Self-rising 120 g; Almond 96 g; Coconut 112 g; Rye 102 g; Oat 120 g.
- Unit standards used: 1 US cup = 236.588 mL; 1 US tbsp = 14.7868 mL; 1 US tsp = 4.92892 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 changing flour type or measurement method and you want consistent dough/batter hydration.
- 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.

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
