Gram to Tablespoon Conversion Calculator

Enter exactly 1 value to calculate the other

Note: Conversions use ingredient density (approximate at room temperature).

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 โ€œpackedโ€ 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 arenโ€™t 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.

* Assumes water (ฯ = 1.00 g/mL). US customary: 1 tbsp = 14.7868 mL.

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‰ˆ 1.42 g/mL.

tbsp = 60 รท (1.42 ร— 14.7868) โ‰ˆ 2.858 tbsp
