Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 227g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 34.57 ounces of butter
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 34.57 × 28.35 = 980.04g
  3. 1 cup of butter = 227g
  4. 980.04g ÷ 227g/cup = 4.32 cups × 16 = 69.08 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

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 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 69.08 tbsp, based on butter having a density of 227g 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 227 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 34.57 ounces: 34.57 × 28.3495 = 980.04g, then 980.04 ÷ 227 = 4.32 cups × 16 = 69.08 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh butter 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 69.08 tbsp ÷ 16 = 4.31737 cups, then 4.31737 × 227g/cup = 980.04g, then 980.04g ÷ 28.3495 = 34.57 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
