Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 14.19g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 80 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of butter = 14.19g
80 × 14.19 = 1,135g
Convert grams to ounces: 1,135 ÷ 28.3495 = 40.04 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.

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 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.
