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 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.
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.

Mostly. The tablespoons to grams conversion for margarine may vary slightly (typically within 3-5%) based on fat content and brand formulation.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of margarine can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
