How Much Is 10 Teaspoons of Granulated Sugar in Ounces?
Converting 10 teaspoons of granulated sugar to ounces gives 1.47 oz. One teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs 4.17g, so 10 teaspoons is 10 × 4.17 = 41.67g (1.47 oz). This conversion is specific to granulated sugar because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 teaspoons of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar = 4.17g
- 10 × 4.17 = 41.67g
- Convert grams to ounces: 41.67 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.47 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
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.
