Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 12.5g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 0.89 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  2. 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
  3. 0.89 × 12.5 = 11.13g

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 (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 11.13 g, based on granulated sugar having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 12.5 (grams per tablespoon for granulated sugar). For 0.89 tablespoons: 0.89 × 12.5 = 11.13 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh granulated sugar 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.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 11.13 g ÷ 12.5 = 0.89 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
