How Much Is 0.02 Cups of Butter in Ounces?
0.02 cups of butter equals 0.16 oz. Butter has a density of 227g per cup (227g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.02 cups of all-purpose flour would be 0.09 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.02 cups of butter
- 1 cup of butter = 227g
- 0.02 × 227 = 4.54g
- Convert grams to ounces: 4.54 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.16 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cold butter straight from the fridge is hardest to measure by volume. Cut it into tablespoon-sized pieces using the wrapper markings for accuracy.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
