How Much Is 1.67 Cups of Table Salt in Ounces?
1.67 cups of table salt equals 16.97 oz. Table salt has a density of 288g per cup (288g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.67 cups of all-purpose flour would be 7.37 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.67 cups of table salt
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 1.67 × 288 = 480.96g
- Convert grams to ounces: 480.96 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.97 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Table salt is the densest common salt at 288g per cup. It is significantly heavier per measuring cup than kosher salt because the fine crystals pack tightly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
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.
