Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 288g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 8.03 ounces of table salt
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 8.03 × 28.35 = 227.65g
  3. 1 cup of table salt = 288g
  4. 227.65g ÷ 288g/cup = 0.79 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.

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.

What is a Cup?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.79 cups, based on table salt having a density of 288g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 288 (grams per cup). For 8.03 ounces: 8.03 × 28.3495 = 227.65g, then 227.65 ÷ 288 = 0.79 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh table salt on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.79 cups × 288g/cup = 227.65g, then 227.65g ÷ 28.3495 = 8.03 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
