Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 340g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 17.63 ounces of honey
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 17.63 × 28.35 = 499.80g
  3. 1 cup of honey = 340g
  4. 499.80g ÷ 340g/cup = 1.47 cups × 8 = 11.76 fluid ounces

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Fluid Ounce?

Fluid ounces measure how much space a liquid takes up, while ounces (oz) measure weight. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs close to 1 oz, but for other liquids like honey or oil, the weight per fluid ounce is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 11.76 fl oz, based on honey having a density of 340g 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 340 (grams per cup), then multiply by 8 to get fluid ounces. For 17.63 ounces: 17.63 × 28.3495 = 499.80g, then 499.80 ÷ 340 = 1.47 cups × 8 = 11.76 fl oz.
Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of honey changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 11.76 fl oz ÷ 8 = 1.47001 cups, then 1.47001 × 340g/cup = 499.80g, then 499.80g ÷ 28.3495 = 17.63 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
