Grams of Sugar to Tbsp Conversion Calculator

Convert sugar weight to tablespoons or teaspoons, or spoons to weight, for granulated, powdered, brown, caster, and raw sugar in grams, kg, oz, or lb.

Grams of Sugar to Tbsp Formula

Choose Volume from mass or Mass from volume. The following relationship uses the chosen sugar type’s editable mass per US tablespoon estimate.

tbsp US = (g) / (ρ sugar)

ρ_sugar is the density in grams per US tablespoon for the selected sugar type.
Approximate masses per US tbsp: Granulated 12.375 g; Caster/superfine 11.875 g; Powdered/icing, unsifted 7.0625 g; Brown, packed 13.3125 g; Brown, unpacked 9.0625 g; Raw/turbinado 11.25 g. These derive from King Arthur recipe-reference cup masses, except unpacked brown from USDA SR28; one US cup is 16 US tbsp. Packing and moisture affect the estimate, and the density field is editable.
1 US tablespoon = 14.78676478125 mL; 1 Metric tablespoon = 15 mL; 1 US teaspoon = 4.92892159375 mL.
Mass units: 1 oz = 28.349523125 g; 1 lb = 453.59237 g.

* Based on granulated sugar: approximately 12.375 g per US tablespoon from the chosen recipe reference (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 ≈ 12.375 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 × 12.375.

Example Problem

Convert 75 g of granulated sugar to US tablespoons.

Use the density for granulated sugar: ρ ≈ 12.375 g per US tbsp.

tbsp = 75 ÷ 12.375 ≈ 6.0606 US tbsp
