How Much Is 10.02 Grams of Table Salt in Cups?
10.02 grams of table salt equals 0.03 cups. Table salt has a density of 288g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10.02 grams of table salt
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 10.02g ÷ 288g/cup = 0.03 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If substituting table salt for kosher salt by volume, use roughly half the amount. For precision, convert by weight (grams) instead.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
