How Much Is 1.67 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar in Grams?
1.67 tablespoons of granulated sugar weighs 20.88 g. This is based on granulated sugar having a density of 200g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.67 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.67 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
- 1.67 × 12.5 = 20.88g
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 (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.
