Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 200g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 36.67 grams of granulated sugar
  2. 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g
  3. 36.67g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.18 cups × 16 = 2.93 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Granulated sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.93 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 36.67 grams: 36.67 ÷ 200 = 0.18 cups × 16 = 2.93 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: 2.93 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.18335 cups, then 0.18335 × 200g/cup = 36.67g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
