Grams of Sugar to Tbsp Formula
The following relationship converts sugar weight to volume (and back) using the chosen sugar type’s density.
\mathrm{tbsp}_{\mathrm{US}} = \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\rho_{\text{sugar}}}- ρ_sugar is the density in grams per US tablespoon for the selected sugar type.
- Typical densities (level, per US tbsp): Granulated ≈ 12.5 g; Caster ≈ 12.5 g; Powdered ≈ 7.5 g; Brown (packed) ≈ 13.8 g; Brown (loosely packed) ≈ 9.4 g; Raw/Turbinado ≈ 12.0 g.
- 1 US tablespoon = 14.7868 mL; 1 Metric tablespoon = 15 mL; 1 US teaspoon = 4.92892 mL.
- Mass units: 1 oz = 28.349523125 g; 1 lb = 453.59237 g.

| * Based on granulated sugar: approximately 12.5 g per US tablespoon (level). | |
How do you convert grams of sugar to tablespoons? Divide the grams by the sugar’s density in grams per tablespoon (e.g., granulated ≈ 12.5 g/tbsp for a level US tablespoon).
How do you convert tablespoons of sugar to grams? Multiply tablespoons by the sugar’s density in grams per tablespoon; for US tbsp and granulated sugar, grams = tbsp × 12.5.
Example Problem
Convert 75 g of granulated sugar to US tablespoons.
Use the density for granulated sugar: ρ ≈ 12.5 g per US tbsp.
tbsp = 75 ÷ 12.5 = 6 tbsp
