Butter Grams to Cups
Written by Mustapha B. · Updated August 13, 2026
Convert butter grams to cups (227 g = 1 cup) and back.
1 cup butter = 2 sticks = 16 tbsp = 227 g = 8 oz.
Converting butter from grams to cups is easy once you know that 1 cup of butter weighs about 227 grams. To go from grams to cups, divide the grams by 227. So 100 grams is roughly 0.44 cup (just under a half cup), 113 grams is 1/2 cup, and 250 grams is a little over 1 cup. Because butter is dense and consistent, this weight-to-volume ratio stays reliable across brands.
Weighing butter on a kitchen scale is the most accurate method, especially for baking where precision matters. A useful rule of thumb: 1 tablespoon of butter is about 14 grams, so 50 grams is roughly 3 1/2 tablespoons. If your recipe was written by weight, consider keeping it in grams rather than converting, since scooping soft butter into a measuring cup can trap air and throw off the amount.
