How Much Is 0.55 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar in Grams?
0.55 tablespoons of granulated sugar equals 6.88 g. Granulated sugar has a density of 200g per cup (12.5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.55 tablespoons of honey would be 11.69 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.55 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
- 0.55 × 12.5 = 6.88g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
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.
