Calculate how many cups of flour a weight in kg, g, lb, or oz makes, using flour references, cup size, and explicit filling assumptions, plus cups back to kg.
kg to Cups of Flour Formula
The formula divides mass by the assumed grams-per-cup for the selected flour and measuring method, with kg first converted to grams.
- 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
- US cup = 236.588 mL; Metric cup = 250 mL (calculator scales grams-per-cup when Metric cup is chosen).
- King Arthur recipe-reference grams per US customary cup: All-purpose โ 120 g; Bread โ 120 g; Whole wheat โ 113 g; Unbleached cake โ 120 g. Other brands and filling techniques vary.
- The optional 112% scoop and 92% sift settings are illustrative scenarios retained from the earlier tool, not universal measured corrections. Use a measured grams-per-cup value with 100% filling, or enter a measured adjustment.
- For metric cups, scale grams per US customary cup by 250/236.5882365. Extra measures use 1/16 of the selected cup; this is a US tablespoon only for a US customary cup.

How do you convert kilograms of flour to cups? Convert kg to grams (ร1000) and divide by the assumed grams per cup for your flour and measuring method: cups = (kg ร 1000) รท g/cup.
How do you convert cups of flour to kilograms? Multiply cups by grams per cup, then divide by 1000 to get kg: kg = (cups ร g/cup) รท 1000.
Example Problem
Convert 1.2 kg of all-purpose flour (US cup, Spoon & Level) to cups.
Use the formula: cups = (kg ร 1000) รท g/cup, with g/cup โ 120.
cups = (1.2 ร 1000) รท 120 = 10 cups
