Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 14.19g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 39.01 tablespoons of butter
  2. 1 tablespoon of butter = 14.19g
  3. 39.01 × 14.19 = 553.45g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 553.45 ÷ 28.3495 = 19.52 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Cold butter straight from the fridge is hardest to measure by volume. Cut it into tablespoon-sized pieces using the wrapper markings for accuracy.

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 an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 19.52 oz, based on butter having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 14.19 (grams per tablespoon for butter), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 39.01 tablespoons: 39.01 × 14.19 = 553.45g, then 553.45 ÷ 28.3495 = 19.52 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh butter 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 19.52 oz × 28.3495 = 553.45g, then 553.45g ÷ 14.19 = 39.01 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
