Enter a weight or cups of flour to convert between mass and volume using typical flour densities and measuring methods.
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.
\mathrm{cups} = \frac{m_{\mathrm{kg}}\times 1000}{\rho_{\mathrm{g/cup}}}- 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
- US cup = 236.588 mL; Metric cup = 250 mL (calculator scales grams-per-cup when Metric cup is chosen).
- Typical grams per US cup (Spoon & Level): All-purpose โ 120 g; Bread โ 125 g; Whole wheat โ 130 g; Cake โ 110 g.
- Scooped cups weigh more; sifted cups weigh less than spooned cups.
- For Metric cups, multiply the US-cup density by 250/236.588.

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
