Grams of Sugar to Cups Formula

The following formulas convert grams of sugar to cups and back; values depend on the sugar’s typical packing density.

\mathrm{grams} = \mathrm{cups}\times G
  • US cup = 236.588 mL
  • Metric cup = 250 mL
  • Granulated sugar: G ≈ 200 g per US cup
  • Brown sugar (packed): G ≈ 220 g per US cup
  • Powdered sugar: G ≈ 120 g per US cup

* Approximate: assumes 1 US cup granulated sugar ≈ 200 g.

How do you convert grams of sugar to cups? Divide grams by the sugar’s grams-per-cup value (e.g., granulated ≈ 200 g/US cup, brown packed ≈ 220 g/US cup, powdered ≈ 120 g/US cup).

How do you convert cups of sugar to grams? Multiply cups by the grams-per-cup for the selected sugar and cup standard (US or metric).

Example Problem

Convert 350 g of granulated sugar to US cups.

Use granulated density: 1 US cup ≈ 200 g.

cups = 350 ÷ 200 = 1.75 cups
