How do I convert tablespoons to grams?

Enter the number of US tablespoons and select the material (or its density in g/mL). The calculator multiplies tablespoons by 14.7868 mL per tablespoon and then by the density to get grams.

What is the density of common ingredients?

The calculator uses standard densities: water (1 g/mL), milk (1.03), cooking oil (0.88), sugar (0.85), flour (0.53), salt (1.2), butter (0.911). You can also enter a custom density.

Is this converter accurate for all ingredients?

It's accurate when you use the correct density for your ingredient. For dry goods like flour, density varies with compaction, so results are estimates. For liquids, it's very accurate.

Use Cases

Baking and Cooking

Convert recipe measurements from tablespoons to grams for precise ingredient quantities, especially for baking where accuracy matters.

Example: Convert 4 tablespoons of butter to grams (about 57 g).

Science and Lab Work

Quickly convert small liquid or powder volumes to mass for experiments or formulations using known densities.

Example: Convert 2 tablespoons of ethanol (density 0.789 g/mL) to grams.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert tablespoons to grams?: Enter the number of US tablespoons and select the material (or its density in g/mL). The calculator multiplies tablespoons by 14.7868 mL per tablespoon and then by the density to get grams.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips

For dry ingredients, spoon lightly into the tablespoon to avoid compaction and get a more accurate density.
Use the custom density option for ingredients not listed, like honey or syrup, to get precise conversions.
Remember that 1 US tablespoon equals 14.7868 mL; this converter uses that exact volume.
Double-check your density value: it should be in grams per milliliter (g/mL) for correct results.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using a rounded tablespoon volume (like 15 mL) instead of the exact 14.7868 mL, which can cause small errors.
Forgetting to adjust density for temperature, as liquids expand or contract, changing density slightly.
Assuming all dry ingredients have the same density; flour and sugar have very different densities.
