Enter grams or tablespoons into the calculator to convert to the other value.
Assumptions Assumptions
- Conversions are mass-to-volume using ingredient density ฯ (g/mL) and assume room temperature.
- Tablespoon/teaspoon measurements are level, not heaping or packed (unless โpackedโ sugar is selected).
- Unit standards used: US tbsp = 14.7868 mL; Metric tbsp = 15 mL; US tsp = 4.92892 mL; 1 oz = 28.349523125 g; 1 lb = 453.59237 g.
- UK/Australian tablespoons (e.g., 20 mL) and Imperial variants arenโt supported.
When to Use This Calculator
- Converting recipe weights (g/oz) to kitchen volume measures (tbsp/tsp) when no scale is available.
- Switching between US and metric tablespoon standards.
- Accounting for different ingredient densities like flour, sugar, oils, and honey.
Input Definitions
- Ingredient (density) โ pick a preset ฯ (g/mL) or enter a custom value.
- Mass โ enter a value and select g, kg, oz, or lb.
- Tablespoons โ choose US tbsp (14.7868 mL), Metric tbsp (15 mL), or US tsp (4.92892 mL).
- Formulas โ tbsp = g รท (ฯ ร tbsp_mL); g = tbsp ร tbsp_mL ร ฯ.
Grams to Tbsp Formula
The following formula converts grams to tablespoons using ingredient density ฯ (g/mL); reverse it to convert tablespoons to grams.
\mathrm{tbsp} = \dfrac{\mathrm{g}}{\rho \times 14.7868}- \(\rho\) is density in g/mL (varies by ingredient).
- US tablespoon = 14.7868 mL.
- Metric tablespoon = 15 mL.
- US teaspoon = 4.92892 mL; mL = g รท ฯ.

How do you convert grams to tablespoons? Divide grams by the product of density and the tablespoon size in mL: tbsp = g รท (ฯ ร tbsp_mL); use 14.7868 mL for US tbsp or 15 mL for metric tbsp.
How do you convert tablespoons to grams? Multiply tablespoons by the tablespoon size in mL and by density: g = tbsp ร tbsp_mL ร ฯ (use US or metric tbsp as needed).
Example Problem
Convert 60 g of honey to US tablespoons.
Use the formula: tbsp = g รท (ฯ ร 14.7868), with honey density ฯ โ 1.42 g/mL.
tbsp = 60 รท (1.42 ร 14.7868) โ 2.858 tbsp
