Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 12.5g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 1 tablespoon of raw sugar
  2. 1 tablespoon of raw sugar = 12.5g
  3. 1 × 12.5 = 12.5g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 12.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.44 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Raw sugar weighs 200g per cup. Different sugar types have different densities, so always use the specific type your recipe calls for.

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?

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 0.44 oz, based on raw sugar having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 12.5 (grams per tablespoon for raw sugar), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 1 tablespoon: 1 × 12.5 = 12.5g, then 12.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.44 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh raw sugar 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.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 0.44 oz × 28.3495 = 12.5g, then 12.5g ÷ 12.5 = 1 tablespoon. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
