Measuring Tip
Margarine in stick form is easiest to measure using the markings on the wrapper, just like butter. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.
Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
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
1 ounce of margarine is 2.00 tbsp. The conversion depends on the density of margarine and scales proportionally for any amount.

Mostly. The ounces to tablespoons conversion for margarine may vary slightly (typically within 3-5%) based on fat content and brand formulation.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of margarine fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
