Grams of Salt to Cups Formula
Use the salt’s bulk density to convert between weight and volume; the equations below use US cups and density ρ in g/mL.
- US cup = 236.588 mL
- Metric cup = 250 mL
- Table salt (fine): ρ ≈ 1.217 g/mL (≈ 288 g per US cup)
- Kosher salt (Morton): ρ ≈ 0.974 g/mL (≈ 230.4 g per US cup)
- Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal): ρ ≈ 0.568 g/mL (≈ 134.4 g per US cup)
- Sea salt (fine): ρ ≈ 1.015 g/mL (≈ 240 g per US cup)
- Sea salt (coarse): ρ ≈ 0.812 g/mL (≈ 192 g per US cup)

How do you convert grams of salt to cups? Choose the salt type, compute mL = grams ÷ ρ, then convert to cups: cups (US) = mL ÷ 236.588; for metric cups use 250 mL per cup.
How do you convert cups of salt to grams? Multiply by volume in mL, then by the density: grams = cups (US) × 236.588 × ρ; for tablespoons and teaspoons, use 1 tbsp = 14.7868 mL and 1 tsp = 4.92892 mL.
Example Problem
Convert 100 grams of Morton kosher salt to US cups.
Use cups = g ÷ (ρ × 236.588); with ρ = 0.974 g/mL for Morton kosher salt.
cups = 100 ÷ (0.974 × 236.588) ≈ 100 ÷ 230.437 ≈ 0.434 cups (US)
