Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 200g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 277.75 grams of granulated sugar
  2. 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g
  3. 277.75g ÷ 200g/cup = 1.39 cups × 16 = 22.22 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 22.22 tbsp, based on granulated sugar having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 200 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 277.75 grams: 277.75 ÷ 200 = 1.39 cups × 16 = 22.22 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh granulated sugar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 22.22 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.38875 cups, then 1.38875 × 200g/cup = 277.75g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
