Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 14.19g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 52 tablespoons of butter
  2. 1 tablespoon of butter = 14.19g
  3. 52 × 14.19 = 737.75g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 737.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 26.02 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Butter is easiest to measure using the markings on the wrapper. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 26.02 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 52 tablespoons: 52 × 14.19 = 737.75g, then 737.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 26.02 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: 26.02 oz × 28.3495 = 737.75g, then 737.75g ÷ 14.19 = 52 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
