How Much Is 180 Grams of Table Salt in Teaspoons?
180 grams of table salt equals 30.00 tsp. Table salt has a density of 288g per cup. Because grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 180 grams of table salt
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 180g ÷ 288g/cup = 0.63 cups × 48 = 30.00 teaspoons
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 Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
